Description

Hello, I am 26 years old, and I am beginning an international journey that has motivated me to look for meaningful experiences such as volunteering.

I am a landscape architecture student, and my interest in this field comes from growing up surrounded by nature. I was born and raised in a rural area of Buenos Aires Province, Argentina, where I developed a strong connection with the outdoors. I have completed gardening courses and done small related projects, and living in a home with large green spaces taught me to enjoy physical work and not be afraid of using tools and working with the land.

In addition, I ran a small carpentry business where I regularly worked with machinery and woodworking tools. I have always enjoyed hands-on work, and as we say in my country, "me doy maña" making different kinds of housetasks.

Music is another big passion of mine. I mainly play drums, but also guitar and bass, and I was part of a rock band for a while. I believe music is a great way to connect with people and share good moments together.

I am also passionate about coffee. Last year I completed a barista course to deepen my knowledge and skills, something I truly enjoy and take seriously.

In my free time, I enjoy cycling, especially through forests and nature trails around my city. I also like other outdoor sports and I love adventure.

My native language is Spanish, and I have a intermediate level of English that allows me to communicate, although I am eager to improve it. I am also learning Dutch at a very basic level and would love to keep progressing.

I am very excited about the possibility of meeting new people, exchanging cultures and experiences, and getting to know the Netherlands. I believe volunteering would be a wonderful opportunity to grow both personally and professionally.

More details about your skills

Over the years, I’ve gained experience in gardening and small landscaping projects, and I feel comfortable doing physical outdoor work and using tools. I also had a small carpentry business, where I worked with wood and machinery on a daily basis, which taught me a lot about responsibility and problem-solving. Last year I completed a barista course, so I also enjoy working with coffee and preparing drinks for others.
