Description

Hi, dear human beings! :)

I would like to give you a warm welcome to my profile. I tried to make it as kind as I try to be in person :) My name is Oona and I am coming from Spain.

I am an old user of Workaway and I have had some experiences using this amazing tool. After a year of traveling through Asia, now I reactivate my account to find a new adventure in South America. My first destination is Brazil and I am truly open&exceited to discovering its culture and people.


I will introduce you to a bit of information about my character. I consider myself someone with a truly independent, creative, and free spirit. I like to improvise and be open to things happening to me. Flow with the rhythm of the place where I am is usually quite easy for me.
I think that being flexible is important but I would like to add that I also have a high feeling of responsibility and commitment in every project I am involved with.

I believe in the power of communication and respect for other people's boundaries and rules we need to set, which also resonates with feelings of community, mutual support, and care. I follow a vegetarian diet for 6 years now.

I am energetic and organized and with some good and useful skills in communications, writing, design, photo, video, and arts. I usually feel comfortable taking the leadership of any project. My hobbies are large and numerous including yoga, writing, reading, climbing, trekking, photography, cinema, sports, traveling, surf, arts, dancing...

This last year I have been more focused and studying social theater and journalism writing, also volunteering as an activist in social transformation projects. I am looking for projects related to this and aligned with an ecological and responsible vision of society.

More details about your skills

I work as a freelance creative writer on projects related to communication, radio, press, responsible advertising and creative writing. I am also an amateur photographer for years with a lot of interest in social photo and documentary. I have high knowledge of graphic design and I consider that beauty has a function and its importance in every project you do.

To let yo know, I have not only worked in writing, photography and desing. Also I have had many random jobs during all my life:

- I worked as a cooker in Dreamsea Surfcamp for five months.
- Also I was the manager of vip area of this same surfcamp for five months.
- I was working as waitress for several years and housekeeper of many hostels around the world.
- I have been working in reception of a familiar business for many years doing administrative tasks.
- I worked as Aupair for a year in United States.
- I worked as volunteer in a library during all my life participating and organising many cultural events.
- I have worked all my life in the field since my family has crops of chestnuts, cherries and grapes.

Everything I do I like to do with creativity, love and imagination. When I participate in something I usually propose new perspectives or ways of doing things. I usually jump into all the projects which can enrich and contribute to myself. I love adding new skills to my brain that never sleeps and I always like to be “working in progress".

What else ...

I am also a rather empathetic and social human being, I really like meeting other people and paying attention to everything that happens around me. I really appreciate having good people around me and sharing experiences in community. I am very curious and observant: the truth is that I consider that the human being is the most interesting thing that exists.

I am an active and relaxed person at the same time, with this I mean, that I have the ability to enjoy both dynamic outdoor activities and more relaxed activities related to art and or culture. Lover of harmony and chaos in equal parts.

I try to be a person that makes living together easy and pleasant. I believe in the power of communication and consider that all conflict can be resolved by listening to the others and putting oneself in the place of the other.
I am an enthusiastic and idealistic person. I admire people who do significant things for our society.

I firmly believe that the world could work much better if we all stop to think about what moral values we have and how we act in the world with respect to them. Therefore, I try to be analytical, reflective and responsible when making decisions. I believe that the soul must be fed and my food has always been to involve myself in social responsibility projects.

I have been practicing yoga for several years which makes me feel strong and agile, giving me awareness and control of my senses. I try to lead a healthy lifestyle and I consider our body to be our temple and I try to take care of it and listen to it every day.

I like to spend a little time every day to observe how I felt and reflect and write about it, learn from my cycle and try to escape from the dictatorship of happiness that this society imposes on us.

As daily habits I like to put a soundtrack to my days, from world music, jazz, soul, blues, classical music, electronic music, fusion, reggae etc. I really enjoy cinema and a good book.
