Description
Hi! My name is Elena, I am 25 years old and I am from England.

I love being outdoors, connecting with new people and exploring as much as I can. I feel that there is something to be learned from everyone, so I love hearing other people's stories. When I'm exploring a new place I am always drawn off the beaten path, and I try to find beauty in things that others might not notice.

I enjoy working with animals and I would love to learn some more practical skills such as building and gardening. I'm always willing to learn something new and I'm happy to try my hand at pretty much anything!

More details about your skills
I am comfortable working with animals - I have recently spent a month volunteering at a dog shelter, and have previously worked with horses and dogs. My previous jobs range from axe throwing instructor to college art technician, so it's safe to say I'm adaptable! I enjoy manual work and I would love the opportunity to learn some building/gardening skills.

I have so much to say about this place, it's hard to know where to start! I initially only planned to stay for six weeks, but I ended up staying for three months. It's safe to say this place has become a home to me. Raul is an amazing host; kind, ambitious, trustworthy and a lot of fun! I felt completely welcome from the moment I arrived and I… read more

The dogs are so well looked after, and the staff pay attention to the needs and personalities of each dog so they all get the love and care they deserve. Everyone is so welcoming and fun and it was easy to feel like part of the team. Most of the… read more
