Activities we are interested in:

We are Josefina & Jenaro, from Chile, but currently visiting Europe for Jenaro's master's programme, reuniting with some friends and family, and hoping to meet new places and people through Workaway.

Description

We are Josefina & Jenaro, from Chile, but currently visitin Europe for Jenaro's fieldwork thesis of an Erasmus Mundus Master's programme in climate change, territorial development and sustainability, offered by a consortium of 5 universities, led by the University of Padova. We are planning to stay in Europe until the end of Jenaro's programme, to be able to attend his graduation in September.

We are also taking the opportunity to visit family and friends, since Jenaro has a sister and two nephews living in France, and Josefina has a sister based in Austria and a brother in Germany, along with some friends spread around Europe.

Josefina did another Erasmus Mundus Master programme in education policies in other European countries many years ago, and currently works remotely as a consultant. However, her working time is very flexible so she can easily adjust to combine Workaway activities in her daily routine. She has a great set of digital and organizational skills, and a lot of willingness to help others.

Jenaro is planning to visit many goat farms around Europe for his fieldwork thesis, where we hope to find some Workaway experiences to make the most of our time here. He also has a lot of flexibility in his schedule, and he is full of motivation, with tons of energy and different sets of skills because of his varied work experiences and interests.

Josefina has an Italian passport and Jenaro already applied to get a Spanish one, but hasn't got it yet. For this reason, we need to stay outside the Schengen Area for some weeks during the summer time, so we are looking for Workaway experiences in the UK and Ireland. We consider it a great opportunity to discover new places and to keep improving our English skills!

We have had the privilege to travel together to many places in Latinoamérica, Europe and Asia. In the latter, we had the chance to try 3 different workaway experiences in Sri Lanka and we would like to try again, this time in Europe. We want to make the most of this trip, we have flexibility in our times and destinations, and we are open to any opportunity that may arise. We are super looking forward to discovering new places, countries, projects, and inspiring people :)

More details about my language interests
We love learning new languages and sharing our knowledge of the ones we already speak. We are both currently trying to improve our level of Italian, and we both already have a very good level of English, but it's always useful to learn more vocabulary and discover new accents and slang!
