  • Description

    Hi there! 🌍 I’m a very cheerful and optimistic person, always full of energy and eager to share good vibes with the people around me.

    I studied Social Work and later completed a Master’s in International Relations and Asian Studies. Supporting others has always been close to my heart, and the moments I felt most fulfilled were when I was working directly as a social worker. That’s why I’m so excited to reconnect with this part of myself through volunteering.

    I absolutely love sports and the outdoors — running, climbing, cycling, skiing… you name it! Growing up in the mountains taught me to enjoy every kind of outdoor adventure. I also adore working with children and helping them discover little sparks of joy in their everyday lives.

    Travelling makes me feel alive, especially when I can truly connect with local cultures and communities. And animals? Well, with two veterinarians as parents, it’s safe to say I’ve always had a special love for them! 🐾

    Now that I finally have the time, I’m thrilled to start my journey of volunteering around the world. I can’t wait to learn, share, and grow through this experience. Available from November — ready to go!

    More details about my language interests
    I’ve always loved languages — even if I don’t speak as many as I’d like yet! At the moment I’m taking French classes and I’m planning to move to a French-speaking country soon to immerse myself and improve as much as possible. For me, learning languages is not only fun, but also a beautiful way to understand cultures and societies more deeply. I also love teaching my native language, Spanish, to anyone who’s interested — I find it both fun and rewarding. I’m always open and excited to learn new languages along the way! 🌍✨

  • More details about your skills

    I studied Social Work and during my training I worked with both children and adults with disabilities. I helped design personalised programmes and taught everyday skills such as cooking, group activities, teamwork, job searching and even using digital tools. It was one of the most fulfilling experiences of my life and made me realise how much I enjoy supporting others.

    On the more practical side, I grew up in the countryside. My parents have always worked in the field, so I’m used to physical work, cleaning, lifting, gardening and even helping with small construction projects. We always had a family vegetable garden, which gave me a love for gardening and working with my hands.

    I’d describe myself as communicative, adaptable and proactive — once I understand how things work, I jump right in and give my best!

I studied Social Work and completed a Master’s in International Relations and Asian Studies, and I’m excited to reconnect with the social work side of myself through volunteering.

    I’ve grown up in the countryside, so I’m used to physical work, gardening, field tasks, lifting, cleaning, and helping with small construction projects. I love working with children and supporting them in discovering little sparks of joy in everyday life.

    Travelling and experiencing different cultures is one of my greatest passions, and I’m also an animal lover — with two veterinarians as parents, it runs in the family!
