Travel information

I am currently

Description

I consider myself to be a very easy-going person with an open-mind and a great capacity to adapt to different environments. This goes back to my childhood, when, more often than not, I had been changing residence, moving schools, and of course all that comes with it - especially the people.
Travelling is one of my biggest passion, I have been to places like New York, Portugal, Ireland, France, etc. However, I would like now to experience another kind of travel, perhaps a more "spiritual" one.

I am originally from Spain but I went to the UK for my university studies and currently I am working in London, where I have been lucky to meet incredible people from all around the globe. Now, I finish at the very beginning of May and I am looking for a place to disconnect from all these, for about 3 weeks. A place where I can find nature, where I can get involved in cultural and sustainable
projects (including education - very keen!) and get to know different cultures and different people; and try new sports and activities as well.

Of course, I would like to contribute also with my help and put forward my availability and capabilities to the hosts, and hopefully contribute in a very meaningful way to the ongoing project of the host :)

More details about your skills

I am not the kind of person that knows a lot about one specific thing, but more the one that knows something about everything, and in some cases, more than something. I truly believe there is always a way to meaningfully contribute. In my case, I have worked in hostelry and also in customer service before, so I get on very well with receiving and greeting people, be watchful to the needs of the customers and most importantly listening and understanding them, offering my help whenever needed.
Also, my English level is above fluent. I have been going to the UK every summer for the past 7 years and I am completing my studies in a UK university (in Brighton to be more precise!). Therefore, I also get along very well with mingling with people of different nationalities and cultures, always trying to keep up the positivism of the group and facing the challenges as what they are: challenges. They are opportunities to grow and make things in different ways, not get stuck or being overwhelmed.

Lastly, and in a more technical way, I would like to mention and offer if needed my knowledge on the fields of Marketing and Finance, since my degree is on Marketing and Management, and I am side-studying and working currently on finance. So, I would be more than happy to lend a hand and help where needed!

What else ...

In my free time I love reading, drawing, doing and trying new sports. In Spain I live right by the sea, and in summer I love to wake up early to take a swim or take long walks barefooted, or even go with some friends to the mountain and take the dogs with us.
I am now starting with yoga and meditation, and I would love a place where sometime a day I can find a beautiful spot to meditate and to practice yoga.
I equally enjoy the social nights playing games, cards...etc
