Description

Hi! My name is Masé originally from Seville, Spain, and currently living in Málaga.

Since 2017, I have volunteered throughout India, Nepal, the USA, Costa Rica, and Spain, and I have also lived and worked in other countries like Ireland, Germany and the USA. The main volunteering experiences have been in organic farms, schools, and community outreach programs.

My main work experience goes from working in marketing and financial projects, as a Spanish interpreter in hospitals as well as a Spanish/English teacher in schools, being a tour guide, and serving as a Yoga and meditation instructor (certified). I also hold a certification on Hygienic Naturopathy and have led workshops and helped people through healing processes.

Among all, I have always ended up involved in serving as a mediator, I’ve been privileged to experience degrees of belonging and being an outsider, and I have great abilities to bring people together and help them communicate, regardless of their origin and language, speak the language of the heart.

I’m a self-taught learner of the human condition. I have a passion for holistic wellbeing and I have been a student and practitioner of yoga, meditation, and anything related to connect back to ourselves for years. Which I practice on my day to day integrating it into my life. I also discovered in creative types of dancing that the body can express in so many ways without neccessarly having to have a name of what it is that you are practicing.

I’m open minded, flexible, creative, with a great attitude to collaborate and learn from others, with great capacity for adaptation. I strongly believe that in the current times we should be in community, no matter in which shape or form, but times are calling for us to create together through respect, joy and compassion.

I participated in the agroecological school in Cuevas del Becerro, Málaga, in 2022, where, besides starting a vegetable garden on completely abandoned land, I received training in agroecology, fertilizers, food culture, seedling propagation and maintenance, and other related topics. I'm looking for an experience where I can exchange my experiences with other individuals being connected to nature and giving it the care that she truly deserves.

What I love the most is simply being in contact with nature and I have the greatest respect to the soil that we consciously take care of.

Thank you for considering me as your next workawayer! :)
