Description
Hello!

I am looking to find a work away where I can learn more about sustainable lifestyles, different languages and cultures. I currently work in the UK around connecting people with nature to improve health and wellbeing. I have a biology degree and am passionate about conserving ecosystems and sustainable living. I love all things nature and sustainable and enjoy sharing these with others. I enjoy being active and outdoors as well as exploring new areas and environments. I also like meeting new people who I can learn from and share new experiences with. I have a wide range of interests ranging from cycling, yoga and SCUBA diving. I have experience working on community food growing projects and community development work.

I am hoping to find a workaway in Colombia where I will have the opportunity to take part in culture exchange and improve my Spanish (and get away from a city!)

More details about your skills
I am a hard worker and a quick learner. I am passionate about nature and conserving ecosystems. I volunteer for my local wildlife trusts and marine conservation charity. After my studies in Biology I travelled around Central America for 9 months, for some of which I worked as a Divemaster leading SCUBA divers around coral reefs. I have studied Spanish on and off for around 6 years and would really appreciate having the opportunity to learn more. Throughout previous employment I have worked in teams and am able to take leadership and supportive roles.

I had a lovely two weeks. The work was varied including gardening and construction. Natalia and Eyal tailor the work to your ability and if you have any skills to share (E.g. In my case macrame). The food is amazing and the animals are incredibly friendly. A beautiful oasis of nature.

This was my first workaway experience and I could not have hoped for better! Javi is a brilliant and caring host who tailors the workaway so you can get the most out of it and learn as much as possible. He is also very patient and changes the jobs you do so nothing gets too repetitive. The house itself has everything you need to feel comfortable… read more
