Description

Hello everyone 👋

My name is Corinna and I am a passionate traveler who loves discovering new places, meeting people from different backgrounds and learning about cultures around the world.

I work as a freelance tour leader/guest relations manager, which allows me to travel frequently. Between contracts, I use my free time to explore new destinations and immerse myself in local life rather than just passing through as a tourist. Over the years, I have gained experience in several volunteer projects and have learned to be flexible, open-minded, reliable and well-organized.

One of the reasons I love Workaway is that it offers a much deeper travel experience. I enjoy staying with locals, learning about their culture and lifestyle, contributing to meaningful projects, and developing new skills. At the same time, I appreciate having the opportunity to explore the region and experience the country beyond the typical tourist perspective.

I believe that cultural exchange is one of the most rewarding parts of traveling. I am always happy to share stories from my own travels, learn from others and make new connections along the way.

If you would like to know more about me, feel free to ask me anything. I look forward to meeting you and becoming part of your project!

Corinna 🤗

First of all a big thank you, Ana & Esteban, for a wonderful time at your albergue! I felt right at home and left with a feeling of friendship! I spent 2,5 weeks here and loved the laid-back days, the sun and all the people I`ve met!

Esteban has a big heart and is a very dedicated person who spends all his time and energy to make pilgrims feel … read more welcome at his albergue. He will dance around the bar and is always up for a joke! ;) Ana visits and helps on the weekend as she works elsewhere and is a sunshine with lots of ernergy and smiles. You will also meet Nandie, who works in the mornings and evenings, as well as Benito and Ana, the owners of the albergue.

San Martín del Camino is really not a big village, so use your days off to visit León and Astorga, which are both only 30min with the bus. Otherwise you can use your free time for a Spanish siesta (which I´ve grown very used to ;) ), reading books from the `library´or cooking together with Esteban to learn about the Spanish cuisine (but he also cooks very delicious dishes from other countries!!). So don`t worry about the food but you can also cook yourself if you wish. My private room was very comfortable, even had a balcony, and I shared the bathroom with one other volunteer.

Concerning the work, it is very light work and feels more like holidays than acutal work. In the mornings you are free to sleep in as Esteban takes care of the breakfast himself. I always enjoyed my breakfast sitting in the sun and just relaxing a bit before the lunch time, when hungry pilgrims come in to eat and to chek-in. I helped with the orders and serving food, cleaning dishes and preparing some bocadillos and inbetween there are always some pilgrims to chek-in and show their rooms. Afterwards I would have my siesta and then join Esteban and Nandie for the dinner, a menu de peregrino. I prepared the salad, set the tables and helped serving. One day I helped in the garden cutting the grass, another day we emptied the pool to clean it and you are free to start own projects if you want to! It is all very relaxed and I never felt pressure to work, just take a look around what needs to be done. I chatted with many interesting pilgrims and you will meet plenty of other nationalities and can improve your language skills.

I enjoyed my time in San Martín a lot as I was looking for a quiet place to relax and practise my Spanish skills. If you ever wanted to get in contact with the camino and get some inspiration or like me, to give something back to the camino, then this is the right place to go. You will get to know a tipical Spanish village with friendly people who try to speak even in sign language to you if you don`t understand their Spanish ;)

Esteban, thanks for our interesting conversations over a glass or two of tinto de verano :), input and ideas for future travels and being such a lovely and welcoming person! I hope to see you both again in Spain, Peru or somwhere else...! Siempre un buen camino y saludos a Nandie!

I spent around 10 days at this cozy, relaxed hostel and had a wonderful time and probably gained some weight due to the delicious food!! You will always be served fresh juices in the morning and the food for lunch and dinner is really tasty - huge difference between restaurants and homemade meals! The hostel is small and I liked the family … read more

I just left the hostel after a stay of nearly two months (which was not planned for so long ;) )! The location is great as you are very close to San Pedro market and within 10 - 15 minutes of walking you reach Plaza de Armas and San Blaz. The beds are very comfy and you will gt a hot shower every day (which is not always the case if you have been … read more

I stayed for 10 days with Stieven and Fico at their beautiful hacienda. I can recommend this place to all travelers who like the outdoors and want to experience a typical Peruvian village life. Stieven has a lot of ideas for the future and is open to projects that you want to do. I updated the Workaway profile, painted some mandalas, helped in the … read more

I stayed with Luis, his dogs and the cat Otto for around a week. I recommend this place to anyone who wants to get away from tha masstourism, enjoy the simple village life in Peru (sometimes we had to wait for the water, but that`s just part of the adventure!) and likes the outdoors. The hacienda is beautiful, surrounded by mountains and the … read more
