Travel information

I am currently

Description

I enjoy spending time with friends, listening to music, cooking, hiking, and doing sports.
I'm inspired by passionate people who live for what they love.

Traveling has been the most enriching experience of my life. Meeting wonderful people, sharing ideas, discovering cultures, and seeing breathtaking landscapes have all been incredibly fulfilling. I love nature; it gives me a sense of freedom and humility.

I want to learn more about wildlife and different cultures, and I aim to share my knowledge and help those around me. During this journey, I also want to improve my Spanish and pick it up again.

Traveling helps me understand myself better and grow every day. It creates friends, family, and memories that I will always cherish.

More details about your skills

I have a diverse background combining professional expertise with hands-on volunteer experience. Professionally, I have always worked closely with people, primarily in customer relations and business-focused roles. For the past eight years, I specialized in the human resources sector, with my most recent role as a Customer Success Manager for a technical skills management solution. This position honed my communication, organizational, and problem-solving skills while reinforcing my ability to adapt to different people and situations.

Beyond my professional career, I have a wealth of volunteer experience, primarily in Australia, where I immersed myself in various roles:

Bamboo and Tropical Plant Nursery: I contributed to watering, planting, weeding, landscaping, and even assisting with childcare and animal care, quickly becoming part of the family. This experience was so meaningful that I returned to work with them five years later.

Equestrian Guide: My responsibilities included grooming and feeding horses, preparing them for rides, welcoming clients, and guiding them on excursions.

Cattle Farm: I took part in physically demanding tasks such as moving cattle on horseback, motorbike, or quad; feeding animals; caring for working dogs; laying irrigation pipes; and operating heavy machinery like bulldozers and bobcats. This experience challenged me but also taught me resilience and self-reliance.

Organic Farm: I assisted with planting, weeding, and warehouse support.


Additionally, my sister runs an equestrian center and educational farm, where I often help with animal care, horseback riding tasks, and supporting children's activities during my visits.

These experiences have given me a well-rounded skill set, from physical labor to people-oriented roles, and a deep appreciation for teamwork and community life. I’m eager to bring my enthusiasm, adaptability, and work ethic to new opportunities on Workaway.
