Description

New Workawayer and so happy to be here! I am an Internationalist, and I also consider myself a Nomadic Healer, rescuing ancestral traditions from around the world, and also learning about modern modalities. I am currently in the process of going back to the road after 8 years of sedentary suburban life in Sacramento, California (and one year in México with family). My name is Flor (means flower 🌸), I was born in Mexico, and I also have Spanish nationality and passport. I am a 47 year'old traveler and mom, traveling with my two kids, one of them now grown enough to be of great help around the place, and learn different trades. He is the other Workawayer in this account, born in Chile and raised in Mexico and the USA. He loves making very cool jazzy music, and is soon to be starting university. I also have a younger child who was born in Sacramento, and is eager to know the world, learn from different cultures, and make good friends all over :) (More about my little family under "What Else").
I have a bachelor in International Relations and some good work experience in different Mexican Embassies and Consulates, and more... I love deep conversations, prospective studies and sharing visions, pro-positive change, net positivity, regenerative practices, and the beautiful practice of working together towards greater common goals. You can see more about my experience under "Skills".
Please note that as Spanish citizen I am legally allowed to live and work in Europe, together with my children, so working papers are not a problem. In recent years I have been much more of a sedentary mom, living in the suburbs of Sacramento, California, where my younger daughter was born. I am currently transitioning from separating and having to move away from that California life to stay with family in Puerto Vallarta, México while figuring out my next steps. Now I am being called to travel in Europe and learn new trades, gain new experiences, make new connections, share my skills, gifts, and experiences.
You can see some pics of Puerto Vallarta in my photos, so you know where I am coming from currently (I stayed there with family During the last year). During my stay in Puerto Vallarta I have been devoting to doing my own thing and follow my own call hosting wonderful Day-Retreats, Women's Circles, and other events, so the couple of group pictures you will see are of my very own retreats and events :)
I am committed to our growth as Conscious travellers, and to learn from other people, cultures, communities, sustainable homesteads, different family lifestyles, etc, together with my children.
I come from many generations of nomadic people from different countries and cultures, I love and deeply respect Nature, and I am very interested in Organic communities and practices, Regenerative and Permaculture based farming, and other ancestral wisdom knowings, as well as Conscious Living, Retreat Venues, Ecotourism and Agrotourism (organic practices), and more... Water is my element and I am usually looking to be near natural bodies of water. I also teach about spiritual baths from around the world, and I love sharing about a very specific Maya Spiritual Bath practice (with herbs) that I learned with a Maya doctor in Belize. Ideal for people who have a herb garden! 💓
I am fulfilling my dreams and entering a new stage in my life and I am looking forward to connect with you and help you with your projects and learn from your trades, crafts, arts, and experiences!
I believe community values such as Peace Love Unity and Respect, and conscious co-creation will take us a long way :)

As a family, we speak mostly English since my youngest was born in California and is still learning Spanish. My older son is fully bilingual in English and Spanish, and has been learning some Italian.

More details about your skills

I have a bachelor on International Relations and plenty of office job experience, mainly in Mexican Embassies and Consulates, but also in the general administration field across different industries.
I am also a highly sensitive and deeply spiritual person, no particular creed, dogma, or religion, just aiming for peace and unity within community.
I also have plenty of experience (mostly behind the scenes assisting other people's business and projects) in social media and online marketing, although I tend to stay away from social media, and I truly dislike AI generated stuff.
I am a True Mental Health and Higher Self Care advocate and a Deep Healing guide; a healer mostly because I am constantly working on my own healing, and I have learned a lot throughout this path. I am not a new-age "Ceremonial Facilitator", I share ancestral knowledge and tools from different cultures that I have been blessed to learn with, and I do different kinds of energy work through movement and dance-therapy, stillness, guided meditations, spiritual baths, etc.
I am also a devoted mother, I travel with my 2 children (a 9 year old girl and grown up boy who just turned 19 but lives and travels with me), and we offer good company and active participation with families and community. We are very much into art, my daughter is a great visual artist and craft maker, and also very expressive and a deep conversationalist. My son is a very passionate music composer (like they don't do them anymore), a very easy going and talkative person, a cultivated conversationalist as well, and a very healthy young man with no vices, except for maybe staying up gaming with his friends at times (nothing too bad at all and still supervised). He is very attentive and open to learn a bit from all trades and craft, and can help with computer and easy electronic stuff, gardening, light construction work (as an apprentice, not an experienced builder), entertaining and teaching children, and anything he may be able to help with in your projects.
I will lend my hand and put my energy in any of your projects that I can help with as well. I am VERY interested in learning about organic farming, permaculture, herbalism, natural cosmetic products, fruit picking and processing, cooking, etc... And I literally love washing dishes, so if that's something that you struggle with, I got you! I can also help caring after the children in your family or community, organizing activities, and help around the house with general stuff.
I am mostly looking out for hosts with children around the age of my 9 year-old girl, or that are children friendly, and community or family oriented, so she can integrate more easily and enjoy the experiences and places that may welcome the three of us. I am sure we can all help each other, share joyful times, support the community, and learn new things from each other!

What else ...

A different kind of family :) my family is currently me and my two kids and they are my everything. Part of our travel is to check out university options for my older son to study in. We are currently looking into 2 music universities, one in Valencia, and one in Berlin. I love being of help and I believe our future as a humanity should be based on going back to the true principles of community living, restorative culture, and harmony with Nature. I want my children to learn about this perspective and to experience this first hand. I believe in standing our ground against elitism, consumerism, racism, colonialism, etc, and about empowering each other's own visions and projects in this regard. We all love sharing our arts and crafts. I am very musical, I love dancing, and I practice and teach different forms of dance and movement meditations, and as I already mentioned, my son is a composer/musician, very devoted to his craft, and my younger daughter takes her drawing pretty seriously (she is truly gifted too!).
Thank you for reading about my different kind of family, and feel free to ask any questions about use!
