Description

Hey there!

My name is Paloma and I am from Madrid, Spain. Currently I am studying Global Sustainability Science in Utrecht University in the Netherlands. I'm 22 at the moment and I speak French, Spanish and English and I'm also learning Dutch. I moved to the Netherlands last year because of the study I'm doing. I am currently working as a bartender here part time while I study.

I had an amazing first workaway experience last year and although I don't have that much time to travel right now because of my studies I would love to take advantage of the summer season and do a solo trip again through workaway.

A little bit about myself: I am a very active person and I love doing outdoor activities such as hiking. I also really enjoy pottery, climbing, cooking... I'm a really social person although I also love spending time alone. My favorite thing in the world is being in nature, and I would love to get involved in an ecological project. My studies are very focused on sustainability so I believe I could bring fresh ideas regarding this topic.

Nevertheless, I'm not looking for a specific project and I'm down to get my hands dirty if needed :) I have experience in gardening, housekeeping, hospitality, reception and teaching and I'm willing to learn new skills.
