Description

Tengo vientinueve años, soy inglesa y normalmente soy una psicóloga.
Estoy tomando una pausa de trabajo para explora el mundo y desarrollar mis habilidades en horticultura, 'rewilding', y también mejorar mi Español.
Soy sociable y inquisitiva. Tengo ganas de conocer gente diferentes y aprovechar comidas y culturas ricas.

Tengo amor por la naturaleza y un deteminación de generar un impacto positivo. Fue una eco-psicóloga en Bristol, England. Trabajaba con comunidades diferentes, les ayudaba a conectar y aprovechar la naturaleza para mejorar el salud mental.
También he trabajado en granjas de permacultura en Mexico y Panama - cuidaba a los animales domesticas y cultivaba frutas y veduras para comer.
Además he trabajado en muchos projectos comunidades diversos.

Quiero aprender, conectar, contribuir
----------------------------

I am 29 years old, I am from England and I am a psychologist by background.
I am taking a small break to explore different natural environments around the world.I am also looking to develop my skills in horticulture, rewiliding and Spanish language. I am a sociable and curious person, looking forward to meeting different people, foods and cultures.

I love connecting with nature and being outdoors. I have worked as an eco-psychologist in Bristol, England, helping others to connect and enjoy local nature.
I have volunteered on an eco-farm in Panama and Campeche, Mexico - caring for animals and cultivating fruits and vegetables.
I have also worked in many community projects.

Looking to learn, connect, contribute and get my hands dirty!
