Travel information

I am currently

Description

Hi! My name is Elena, I am a 23 year old student from Belgium. I am interested in sports, nature, togetherness, culture, diversity, ... I have always loved to explore and get to know different cultures and people. After living in Argetina for 8 months right after high school (cultural exchange) , my desire to get to know more of latin American culture has never stopped.

Whenever I travel I want to get to know the most as possible about the local culture. That is why am in interested in doing WorkAway this time around. I love to connect, to listen to people's stories and to share experiences.

I do speak Spanish (with an Argentinian accent ;)) and I am eager to also spice up my spanish language skills since it has been a while since I was able to talk to native speakers.

More details about your skills

My academic experitse is criminology and law but besides my academis persuits I love to be outdoors and to get my hands dirty. It is that other side that I wish to explore through WorkAway. I like to work hard and help others. I am determined, curious, assertive, social, kind and helpfull.

I don't mind heavy work since I am also very into physical activities like triathlon. I adapt easily to new situations and am always curious to learn about other people's ways of life.
