Catalunya, Spain - from Sep 2023 until Jun 2024 View allDescription
I would like to gain experiences from different ways of living and learn new skills while I could help doing something meaningful. I've been passionate about traveling for some years, but now I feel I want to do something else than traditional traveling, gain more authentic experiences, learn about cultures, languages and find deeper connections and purpose that I haven't managed to find this superficial 9-17 rat race.
Nature is a source of happiness for me and I love hiking and exploring nature wonders. A healthy lifestyle that includes a balanced diet and being active are basic elements of my everyday life. I like reading about psychology, spirituality, personal development and talking topics around it.
I love being around and taking care of horses and other animals too. I would like to learn more about natural horsemanship. I'm also interested in sustainable and self-sufficient living/farming/ecovillages/communities and would like to learn more. I don't feel like this "normal" way of living is for me and I would like to see how living and working in an ecovillage or grid-of community would be.
I’m interested in working outside cities, on a farm or in a place, close to nature, with animals. I’m eager to learn more about horses, animals, self-sustainability, farming, gardening and different kinds of ways of living. I’m hoping to have volunteering experiences, that combine doing meaningful work and finding connections with people, and be part of the community/family I'm volunteering with, while maintaining my independence and having time on my own.Interests

*I get a lot of requests to come help with childcare. Unfortunately, I don't have any experience of looking after children of any age, so there surely will be better volunteers for that*
I have some experience with horses, dogs and cats. I don't have yet a lot experience of gardening and sustainable/self-sufficient farming, permaculture, DIY and general maintenance, but I'm eager to learn more. I have a lot of experience in customer service. Currently, I'm working as a pharmacy technician, but I don't see this as my long-term profession. I have also worked in a grocery store and in a restaurant.
As an employee, I'm conscientious, punctual, flexible and willing to learn. I'm in good physical condition and like working outside in the nature.Age
