Beschreibung
Hi! I’m Karla, a Mexican who is obsessed with culture exchanges.
I started slow traveling, backpacking and volunteering one year ago.
I have a master’s degree in Environment, Culture, and Society from the University of Edinburgh, specializing in Environmental Humanities. My background includes scientific communication, event organization, and hospitality (I organised a film festival for nine years!), and I currently work remotely as a translator for an agronomy journal.
I’m passionate about *dancing*, photography, video, literature, philosophy (especially Kierkegaard), and environmental issues. I also have experience caring for children (I volunteered at a daycare in Oregon, USA) and love animals (I cared for my beloved dog for 13 years).
🔥 How Can I Help?
I’d love to contribute in any way, including:
✅ Teaching Spanish
✅ Sharing basic photography & video skills
✅ Teaching Latin dance rhythms
✅ Helping with farm work or environmental projects
✅ Assisting with event organization & guest reception
✅ Taking care of pets
Above all, I’m excited to connect, learn, and create meaningful experiences. Let’s make great memories together! 🚀 -

Was könntest du arbeiten?
🎓 Academic & Environmental Knowledge:
I hold a master’s degree in Environment, Culture, and Society from the University of Edinburgh, specializing in Environmental Humanities. I have a deep understanding of agriculture, sustainability, and climate change, along with strong research and communication skills. Before that, I studied my Bachelor's in Communications, which I studied in Oaxaca, México. The modules I enjoyed the most were those about Social Sciences and Humanities.
📢 Communication & Event Organization:
Worked four years in scientific outreach, helping translate complex environmental topics into engaging content. Spent nine years organizing an independent film festival, managing logistics and coordinating international guests.
🗣️ Languages & Teaching:
Native Spanish speaker, fluent in English.
Happy to teach Spanish or help improve language skills.
Can share basic Latin dance rhythms and vocal techniques for singing.
🎥 Creative & Outdoor Interests:
Passionate about photography and videography, especially portrait and landscape.
Love spending time outdoors, whether in rural areas or immersed in nature.
🐾 Animal Lover:
Cared for my beloved dog for thirteen years—I have a soft spot for pets!
Happy to help with animals—walking, feeding, or just giving them the love and attention they deserve.
👶 Childcare Experience:
Volunteered at a daycare near Portland, Oregon for six months, caring for children aged 3 months to 3 years. (I can provide a recommendation letter).
A challenging but deeply rewarding experience that taught me patience, adaptability, and the joy of working with kids.
🌍 Cultural Exchange & Volunteering Spirit:
Enthusiastic about meeting new people and experiencing different cultures.
Always try to bring new energy, adaptability, and a positive attitude to every project.
