Description

Hi There!
I'm a spanish woman taking a new direction in life.

Recently I have been through a turning point period in my lifestyle and my "robotic" work as I started feeling unmotivated. I began to make a lot of new workshops and studies trying to find myself and what I really wanted to do. And I feel more comfortable with the natural approach, the animal care, the consciousness, the slowness and living behind all that russ and kaos of society. I'm still on the way and I believe volunteering helps to make up one's mind learning and doing different things, and also to connect with oneself and disconnect with everything else.

I'm awaiting some exams results now and intending to keep on going with other studies while doing some remote work, but in the meantime I was thinking what to do this summer, out of waiting for exam results.

It's my second time volunteering (I had some other experience with helpx platform: https://www.helpx.net/profile/br6e3h4bc ). I'm not
Just looking so much for travelling or sightseeing but rather for living the experience (thought that it's not meaning neither that I want to be stuck in a place), get new deep and real visions, new learnings, inspiration, calm. This is why I go first for longer term stays rather than short if both of us feel comfortable. I really dislike the fact that when you are finally coming to terms with your duties or feeling good, confident and involved in what your doing, then is when you have to leave!. That's not really a profitable business for any part, isn't it? :)

What I am expecting from this is learning and share. Not just "do the part of the job than nobody else wants to do and do it repeatedly, and that's it" but also the rewarding part of it where you really share, learn and bring home with you something new. It must be a win-win.


l like take things easy and easy going people. I hate stress and dislike stressful situations coming from miscommunication or false expectations. If you need something just ask. Different views and needs just get solved by talking.



In my spare time I love to make manual things. My own natural cosmetics, cooking and learning new recipes, lately interested in macrobiotic and the power of food in a healthy body, learning about aromatherapy and all what it comes from nature, its properties and its application to a healthy living!.

I´d love to learn about perma-culture, self-sufficiency, medicinal herbs and it's uses, etc.

I also love outdoor sports (thought lately I've being a bit lazy, but don't tell anybody), biking, hiking, running, Voley, water sports....I don't say no to almost nothing, I like to try everything (almost). Learning languages and reading new things to learn. I'm curious.

I love animals. Horses and cats are my favourites.(some experience with horses, i explain that in the skills Paragraph)

I've been very passionate about music and I travelled a lot motivated by music events.

My inner personality: Well, I guess at the beginning I might be a bit shy till I get confidence with you. I'm straight, empath, good listener, responsible and sensitive. I like learning and sharing knowledge. I'm also quiet and I love calm and silence. I always look for my "piece of that" everywhere and that's primordial. Too noisy or stressful places is not my thing. But I'm also social and I need my share likewise, so I like talking with people and having fond conversations..

More details about your skills

I made a degree in tourism. I have worked as a waitress in restaurants, in customer service positions, travel agencies, business travel and also coordinating areas as a project manager.

Due to my love about horses I decided to introduce myself in a training about natural (educational) dressage and a methodology called "connected riding". For 3 months I learn about horse handling from a perspective of communication, respect and always looking for their welfare, the ethology principles and the horse biomechanical basis. How to be a respectful horsewoman making a riding where the body position, the breathing conscience and the body balance and connection between both, horse and horseman, is essential to relieve tension . We learnt to detect some posture patterns on both, and to perform massages and stretching exercises on horses.
That was my first REAL contact with them.
After that I stayed 3 more months for helping around and improve my handeling with horses. . I'm just a beginner, I didn't make a gallop yet! but I can do my best to give a hand in taking care of horses, keep learning from others and share what I have learned about it.

I started some marketing studies. Mediabuyer, copywriting, and some social media, wordpress and web layout basis. What I enjoy the most is content writting since I like written communication and I had my music blog in the past, where I used to write about concerts and record reviews and, sometimes, I liked to collaborate with some other web mags. I didn't continue digging in this direction by now . But if I can be of any help with that, I will.

I like exchange cooking recipes and love taking care of pets.

What else ...
