Description
Hello, I am an artist living in Deia Mallorca, a beautiful village in the World Heritage site of the Tramuntana. I grew up in an open household where many young people, friends and friends of friends were welcome. They enriched my life in many ways. Thus I enjoy meeting new people and the positive energy and enthusiasm that my workaways have . I insist on following the philosophy and mission statement of workaway so please be sure to be aware of that when requesting me to host. I share my space as family style.
I want to use my ceramic art for change and welcome conscientious workaways to use their skills to help me promote marine conservation here on Mallorca.
