  • Description

    hey all,
    I´m Clara and I am very excited to travel to Chile in autumn! I wish to get to know the country and culture as well as finally get to know my chilean family, that I have never met before. I'm very interested in visiting many different places and getting to know new people because I haven't really connected with my chilean heritage before and I can't wait to find out as much as possible about the country.
    That´s also why I really don't just want to be a conventional tourist but work to really get a feel for what life is like. I love being around people and have definitly had the most expirience with social work, and some leftist organising which is why I´d love to join projects in that vain. But I have also been living in a pretty run-down house over the last years and we've had to figure out how to keep everything from falling apart which is why I also started being interested in building, maintaining and finding creative solutions. I am by no means an expert but would love to learn. Through my dayjob I also have quite a bit of experience in general customer service which I would be willing to lend you!
    I think I have pretty solid foundation in spanish as I have been visiting my spanish family since I was a child but I will probably take some time to be able to speak easily and get used to the chilean dialect. But I love languages so I'm glad to challenge myself.

    hola a todxs,
    soy Clara y estoy muy emocionada de viajar a Chile en otoño. Deseo conocer el país y su cultura, además de conocer por fin a mi familia chilena, a la que nunca he visto antes. Estoy muy interesada en visitar muchos lugares diferentes y conocer gente nueva porque no he conectado realmente con mi herencia chilena antes y no puedo esperar para aprender lo más posible sobre el país.
    Por eso no quiero ser una turista convencional, sino trabajar para hacerme una idea de cómo es la vida. Me encanta estar rodeada de gente y, sin duda, he tenido mucha experiencia con el trabajo social y la organización de izquierdas, por lo que me encantaría participar en proyectos en ese sentido. Pero también he estado viviendo en una casa bastante destartalada durante los últimos años y hemos tenido que ingeniárnoslas para evitar que todo se viniera abajo, por lo que también empecé a interesarme por la construcción, el mantenimiento y la búsqueda de soluciones creativas. No soy en absoluto una experta, pero me encantaría aprender. ¡A través de mi trabajo diario también tengo un poco de experiencia en el servicio al cliente en general que estaría dispuesto a prestarle!
    Creo que tengo una base más o menos sólida en español como he estado visitando a mi familia española desde que era niña, pero probablemente tomará algún tiempo para ser capaz de hablar con facilidad y acostumbrarse al dialecto chileno. Pero me encantan los idiomas así que estoy encantada de desafiarme a mí misma.

  • More details about your skills

    I have some experiences doing different kinds of social work, like working at homeless shelters, a women's shelter and in food distribution. There I mostly worked with people directly but also gained some experience in organisation and helping out around an office. I also have some experience in political organising and have been part of a few different projects.

    Language is my passion and I enjoy reading writing and talking in German and English a lot and hope to improve my Spanish sufficiently to do so as well.

    I just generally love to learn new things, like in the house that I live in right now, we constantly have to figure out new ways to keep everything from falling to pieces and often get creative in our struggles against mice and mold. I have also at different times in my life lived outdoors in selfmade structures and though I know that it can be hard work to have to organise daily life from scratch and constantly have to carry water up a mountain I've also learned that that kind of life can be very exciting and rewarding.

  • What else ...

    my smoking is kind of circumstantial and my expirience is that I can easily just not do it if I'm out of tobacco or it bothers anyone around me.
