Description
Hey! Nice to meet you!

I'm Estrella, from Spain. I'm currently studying in Iceland, and coming back to Salamanca for the second semester in February. I'm not looking for hosts at the moment!

(I'll leave this here for future hosts)

You could say my interests are a bit over the place; I love being outside: at the beach, on a hike, reading; my love for animals is unconditional, dogs have always been my favourite and I have a big interest on learning how to train them, and I really enjoy the company of horses, which I have some experience riding. To really sum up, being with animals during the workaway would be a plus for me; jumping to other things, I'm very artsy: I love singing, playing music and dancing, which all fuel my creativity and energy; I'm very active: in the mornings I stretch and exercise, so any help needed with hard tasks that require a good physical condition: I'm your girl; I also love a good book, and a group of people with an open mindset that value communication and are always up for a good debate or talking for a while; I have my own CANON camera, and experience on human/animal portraits, so any help needed with photography, I can help you; (I'm almost done, I promise) I love languages, and I'm very interested in immersing myself in yours; and, to top it all off, I really value good food, so you can be sure I love cooking. I'd love to learn new recipes from your country and sharing mine.

Thank you for taking the time to read my profile, and I hope we speak soon.
Best regards, Estrella.

More details about your skills
Well, as you might have guessed, I'm basically up for anything you need. I'm a quick and avid learner, so new skills would also be very much welcome. Here I leave you a little list of the most important things:

- Dealing with animals: I'm comfortable with any of them, and I'm most experienced with; dogs, which I love taking for walks and training them; horses, which I can ride on a basic level and can clean and groom; and chickens.

- Cooking: I am an experienced cook, and I love learning and cooking with other people. If you're interested in trying new dishes and sharing your kitchen with me, I would be delighted.

- Languages: as noted before, I can speak many languages, and I have experience teaching them. I'd love it if we'd help and learn from each other.

- Taking care of children: I can proudly say that I get along very well with children, so if playing, teaching or anything is needed regarding them, I'm all up for it.

- Crafts and construction: I must admit that, even though I don't have a lot of experience, I do know how to get around with a bit of help. I'm very proactive and always looking for things to improve, so with some indications I could take off and work by myself. As noted before, I'm in a good physical condition, so lifting heavy things or any hard tasks are no problem for me.

Estrella was with us for two month and it was a great time. Although she has been busy with her university lessons, she was a biiig help in the house and with the kids. They loved her and playing with her, which is always a good sign 🥰

(Come help out our family in ...)

I stayed with this wonderful family for two months and had so much fun! At the same time, I was studying in the university in Reykjavík, and Lilli and Reynir were always flexible and understanding when I was having trouble managing my responsibilities. They are wonderful parents, and our conversations together were never boring. Sígurlina, Fjóla,… read more

It was wonderful having Estrella in our home! She is such a warm person, always in a good mood, and we felt comfortable with her from the first minute.
Estrella is just 18 years old, but she is already quite experienced of life. She knows what she likes and what she doesn't like, which makes communication with her very easy and clear. It was a… read more

(Come and have timeout in a ...)

I stayed with the Heller family for about a month and a half, and had a great time. From the very beginning I felt right at home, almost like a big sister to the children. I must admit, my written review won't do justice to all the fun I had around here.

For starters, my room was very spacious and cozy, and the house was so big and beautiful.… read more That also means there's always something to do! Cleaning, cooking, gardening, spending time with the children, little DIY projects and generally just being another member of the household and helping around like you would normally do at home. The food is delicious, organic, and almost no meat, and Judith is such a great cook with so many recipes. I tried so many new things during my time here, and they also really appreciate when you can cook and help around the kitchen.

We always spoke about the plans for the day after at dinner, but this can change! Living with three children means one must be flexible and be ready for constant change, which I found great since every day was different than the other. Another good thing is that we had no communication problems, since Judith kept me updated any time there was a change. Except chores and everything around the house, they're very social and there's people over very often, and anytime they did an excursion or went to meet anyone I was always invited, so I got to know a lot of nice people.
Next door live Tobia's parents, who really appreciate someone to have a good time with and get to know you and your country. I had lunch with them a few times and even baked a kuchen with Charlotte, so you can be sure you're getting to know the culture and cuisine!

I had such a great time with the children! Noah and Fridolin are the oldest, so full of energy and always building or planning something. It was so mesmerizing and fulfilling for me to see children developing in such a natural environment, getting their hands dirty, building with legos, reading and asking questions. Fridolin is quite passionate about animals and vehicles, specially anything used in agriculture. Tractors and cats may be a winner for him. Noah is very talkative when he warms up to you and was always willing to explain any German words that I didn't know. Now Rosalie! I guess it would be safe to say she was the one I spent most time with. She truly feels to me like the little sister I never had. She is very sweet, curious, and I really enjoyed seeing how she started learning new words. She is very talkative and always finds a way to let you know what she wants despite how young she is. My time with them was never dull and I miss them everyday. You can learn a lot by looking at the world through their eyes.

I could honestly write a whole paper about the children, but this must come to and end! I was looking for a place where I could slow down and learn, and that's exactly what I got. I made such beautiful connections with this thriving and wholesome family, and I couldn't be more thankful for the way I was welcomed. I hope everything goes well for you guys and lots of love until we meet again!
