Description

Hi!

My name is Emily, I just quit my job in Project Management and I am ready to run around on this world, and expierence as much as I can. I absolutely love travelling and doing workaways inbetween to really get to know the local culture and experience real life! In my daily life, I really like hanging out with friends, dancing (like bachata and salsa!), having deep conversations with people, going on adventures, working out, reading and just enjoying nature :)

I am really interested in the world in general, I love animals, they bring me so much joy and happiness. Being in nature calms and grounds me, and I really enjoy talking to people to really get to know someone, but I also love being mindfull and spending time with myself. I am always up for an adventure and open for everything!

For my next adventure, I have 2 intentions: improve my Spanish and learn how to build things, do carpentry and renovation. I want to learn these skills in order for my future dream, build/renovate my own B&B, van or hostel.

I am excited to see what the future holds and experience beautiful moments with people from all over the world!

My experience with Gonzalo and Rayén has been amazing! They are a lovely couple — very wise and adventurous.
This was a real exchange: I helped them with English, some building work on the boulder, fence work, and gardening. In return, they taught me a lot about using tools, planting trees and potatoes, baking bread, and even took me on a … read more

We had a great experience with Emily. She's very cheerful, friendly, and patient with my English... 😅. She adapted well to our home, and Kuyul enjoyed the walks. Thank you so much for all the gardening and climbing wall work! We hope you have a great trip! 🥰

I had a wonderful stay with Rudy and his three lovely dogs. Rudy shared a lot with me about the area and the local culture, and he kindly took me along to meet his friends. One highlight was a bus tour to a lake high up in the mountains — it was so generous of them to invite me. I also got to practise my Spanish at a birthday party with many of … read more

Emily was great to have around. She immediately integrated herself with the locals, even participated in the 18th of September parade in the village. She proactively looked for work when I didn't have any for her to do and we had a good time talking and working together. I wish her all the best for he travels and hopefully see her again on her way … read more

Emily was our first short term volunteer, with us for just a week - we had the space to squeeze her in and I'm pleased we did! She was very amenable, both with people and the dogs, and it was nice to have her around. Emily was happy to get on with the work at the shelter, and was loved by the dogs quickly!

Thanks for the visit Emily, maybe see … read more
