Description

Hi there!
I'm Marta, a spanish girl of 28 years old.
I studied Anthropology and have worked as a psychotherapist, so I really like to experiment new cultures and learning new ways of life that are in contact with nature. I really enjoy doing things in the nature, with animals, children and people that also like sharing this method of living. I want to learn about rural life in the places I visit.

I live in the countryside so I have some knowledge of gardening, take care of animals and I also like doing sports like ski, rock climbing, hiking, dance, biking, and martial arts.

I have worked as a instructor with children in summer camps and teaching them english and school support, so I have experience taking care and playing with them.

One of the cultures I am interested more is Japan. I am studying japanese and I would really love to practice it. Want to know all about japanese life, its food, its people, its lifestyle, its history...

I have traveled around the world like South America, Africa, Europe and Asia. It will be a pleasure to talk about travels, world, cultures,religion, ecology, and anything you want to share with me :)

WHY AM I DOING THIS?
The July of 2024 I went to Cambodia for one month. When I came back to Spain nothing was the same for me. This trip affected so much on me that I couldn't live more in the way I have lived. I am not satisfied with the world we are creating, and working as a psychotherapist I have noticed that humankind aren't following the right direction. I am looking for another type of life, more in coherence with my feelings, with nature, with life, and with the type of world I would like to see in the future. That's the reason I am doing workaway and want to learn from people that have had the courage to try another way of life. Everything I can learn from you will be a gift for me.
