Description

Hello,

My name is Angie. I am originally from Mexico but raised in Texas (United States); I come from a big, tight-knit family that is my world and the reason why I feel grounded and capable of handling life’s endeavors. I am an artist at heart, spontaneous in a responsible kind of way, and I have an insatiable thirst for knowledge. I'm here on Workaway because I love to volunteer abroad, and I love to experience other cultures, languages, and people while at the same time being able to learn along the way.

In my spare time, I enjoy staying active, being healthy, exploring nearby national parks, reading, writing, philosophy, volunteering, going to the gym, and I love being creative. If I had the time and resources, I would travel around the world as an established writer: a goal always on the back of my mind. I grew up near the United States and Mexican border, so I feel lucky to have been raised within a nice blend between two very different cultures and languages. Spanish is my native language and the language spoken and taught at home, while English is my second native language taught in school.

I have traveled extensively before; I backpacked Europe, volunteered in Uganda, Cambodia, and Hungary. I backpacked South Africa and volunteered in Plettenberg Bay, ZA. More recently, I backpacked around Istanbul, Turkey.

Thank you for reading a little about me and, hopefully, see you soon!

Today we made a wok dish with Figueira da India. Inspired by Angelica's stay and the stories about her grandparents, we had to try it and guess what: it was delicious! And yes, it took a while to figure out how to peel the leaf and get rid of the spines, but eventually we managed with our good old Dutch cheese slicer. The recipe with the sweet … read more

My stay at Ellie and Gijs' farm was what I needed and an incredible experience. I felt safe, comfortable, and welcomed.

I stayed in their quaint, little country house next to the main house and had all the amenities I needed for a comfortable stay. Both Ellie and Gijs are accommodating, respectful, and thoughtful. They're also good … read more

Meeting and working with Angie was a great experience! She came at a time when the garden was getting ready for winter, which means the types or work that needed to be done were mulching, or preparing the ground for outdoor structures. Not the most inspiring but certainly important activities, which Angie took on with full enthusiasm and … read more

This was a great Workaway experience with a beautiful family (Shiba the pup included, of course). The whole family is warm, welcoming, considerate, attentive, talented, funny, and I'm sure that there are more than a few other positive adjectives I can come up with if need be. Needless to say, I felt safe, well-fed, comfortable, and overall happy. … read more

This is a quaint hostel that will leave you with a unique volunteer experience. I had the opportunity to stay with John and Jill for approximately one month, albeit they were out of the country during most of my stay here, it does not take long to appreciate how great they are. The hostel is unique and beautiful with a 'homey' feeling and the … read more

I'm never going to be able to thank Rith enough for giving me the opportunity of volunteering and being part of his project. The experience was amazing and very rewarding, the food was great, and the kids extremely lovable!
