Description
UPDATE FEBRERO 2024

Hola! Yo soy Clara !

Soy una estudiante francesa de 22 años en un master de psico-sociología y estoy haciendo un año sabático en America latina. Tengo muchas pasiones pero las dos principales que siempre me siguen estuvieron el baile y la creación videográfica. Viajo sola con mi cámara para explorar más de los dos : bailar y hacer videos. Estuve en Cuba, Mexico, Nicaragua Costa Rica y ahora estoy en Brasil. He encontrado personas increíbles y he hecho bastante videos para ayudar que pueden encontrar sobre mi cuenta « profesional » en instagram @claroquessi.

He hecho amistades también que puedo decir me cambiaron. Viajar es una manera formidable de revolver a su manera de vivir y de pensar. He ido en varios lugares y me he quedado con personas muy diferentes también. Siempre me adapto y me gusta aprender sobre todo : desde hacer videos en lugares ecológicos en la natura sin electricidad o agua, a hoteles y casas de árboles, clases de acro yoga y meditación, refugio de caballos, eventos de músicos, cocinas de restaurantes… No puedo esperar saber que será los próximos.

De hecho, me voy pronto en Columbia y estoy buscando una escuela de baile donde podría quedarme y reunir mis dos pasiones. Puedo decir que es la principal razón de mi presencia en America latina : poder bailar la salsa y poder decir que fui en los pais donde es originaria y realmente conocerla. Bailé de todo desde pequeña (clásico, contemporáneo, oriental…) y solo a partir de 2019 encontré la salsa cubana. Ahora bailo salsa, bachata, kizomba, chachacha, tango… Muchos de latinos no sabían que bailamos bastante en Francia ! Me alegría enseñarlo también a ninguna persona que quisiera conocer más sobre la cultura francesa.

Al sido, me gusta mucho la nutrition y cocinar. Me gusta el yoga y nadar en la mar. Puedo tocar el piano, la guitarra y el ukulele. He aprendido a hablar español durante mi viaje (no puedo esperar para aprender mas), hablo ingles y un principito de portugués.

Nos vemos pronto para colaborar !

Left by host (Volunteering at a horse ...) for Workawayer (Clara)

Clara stayed with me for two weeks, and I must say, she's a very enthusiastic person, always motivated, and she did an outstanding job during her time here. Her affinity with animals—cats, dogs, and horses—is remarkable, and her support was greatly appreciated throughout her stay.

We also collaborated on a beautiful video project. Clara's skills… read more

Mi experiencia con Anne fue absolutamente increíble. Más que un workaway, he descubierto una persona muy buena y humilde con quien hemos compartido muchos momentos alegres, a cocinar, a reír o simplemente a tener buenas conversaciones. Anne ha creado un proyecto muy bueno para los caballos y ha inspirado mucha gente con ella. Es verdad que me ha… read more

Left by Workawayer (Clara) for host (Help us with creating ...)

This was my first experience with Workaway and solo traveling at all. It was such an intense and unexpected stay. I stayed about 11 days.

First of all, it is a community created and managed by Georgos, a greek young man who stay with his hosts (we used to sleep outside, there are plenty tents and a small house with a few beds), cook them some… read more food and smoothies, take them to nice places to see around, beaches, forest etc. He is a warm and wild human being, who will invest hiself to make you feel comfortable and included to the community. The life on the camp is quite chill. Georgos has done so many things with homemade kitchen, tables, garbages, spaces for yoga, vegetable gardens etc. Tasks feel really natural and easy-going with gardening if it is necessary, cooking for all the people, doing whatever you're capable of to improve the place. For example, I was the photographer of the yoga retreat during my stay, and some activities we did to help them to make known their place. It was my idea, they let me free to explore that.

However, as long as I know (during the time I went there, July 2022), it was also managed by a friend of him, Carsten, who used to manage communication of their website and hosting people. I could say that I (and some friends of mine) had a few issues with that man who isn't really clear at all. We had some money issues while he asked me to pay for my tent (because they were already "full") and for his driving from the boat to the camp, and finally didn't ask anything to the others. It was a bit random and the more he could ask, the more he took. He didn't live with us in the camp so it wasn't really a problem but the stay felt a bit unsafe at the moment he was there. This man was really involved into the camp and for this reason, was searching for making it the most profitable as possible. Some problems have been known between Georgos and Carsten, so feel free to ask news about it before your come.

The place is absolutely beautiful, quiet and peaceful anyways. It is 1h by walk from the sea, you can walk with all the people together and eat on the beach. People here come from Spain, Germany, States, Greece, France, England... You won't struggle to do stops with random cars because Ikaria is a really small island and all the people are so kind and helpful. The way of life is absolutely so lovely and off the grid. One of the last most authentic greek island in Greece. It is a must known.

Thank you for that experience, I'll come back one day.
