Description
We are Delia and Pablo, a couple (39 years old) from Valencia and Murcia, in the south-east of Spain. Both of us held a PhD degree in Electronics engineering in the field of Machine Learning (2015) and, since then, we have worked as researchers at the University of Valencia (Spain) and in several IT companies at the R&D department. Due to our professional background, we have a working knowledge of IT, computers and programming languages.
As a side project, we have a small personal project connected with our main passions: food and travels. It is a website about simple and healthy recipes around the world that allow you to travel and discover new cultures from your kitchen. Pablo has developed the website and Delia is the content creator (recipes and photography). Please take a look if you are curious:

Foodisea is also on social networks to let more people discover our website. From our Instagram account we share recipes, additional content about food and cultures and a lot of fun games through Instagram stories (mainly funny facts about cultures and food):

Our mindset is quite similar. We are open-minded, easy to talk to about everything and ready to learn some stuff from everybody. We are interested in alternative lifestyles and curious about all different cultures. In our opinion, every new experience is important in your life, since it teaches us something, whether it is good or bad. We enjoy little things in life because they are really the great things, such as enjoying nature, taking a cup of tea while having a nice chat, or trying a delicious new dish. Each moment is a good moment to be happy, so a vital rule is not postponing things that make you happy until tomorrow!
We have a lot of different interests, such as nature, outdoor activities (such as hiking, surfing or snorkeling), doing yoga, reading books, cooking, watching movies and TV series, listening to whatever kind of music, playing board games, photography, traveling or learning languages, among others. In addition, we really love spending time in our small self-consume orchard, where we grow delicious fresh vegetables together with two other friends.
We are passionate about traveling. Without a doubt, it is the best way to discover new cultures and grow personally. This is an Instagram account we created just for sharing our favourite pictures of our travels and some learnings about the world, in case you are interested in knowing more about us. It is in Spanish, but you can see the pictures anyway:

In general, we love talking, laughing and joining whatever activity, so it will be great fun to share different points of view and cultures! Regarding this cultural exchange, we are willing to prepare some Spanish dishes and to teach you our mother language: Spanish. In this sense, it could be really exciting to learn how to cook traditional dishes of your country. In addition, we would like to improve our English fluency and start to learn whatever new language.
We have joined the Workaway community because we both love giving back to our community and we would like to spend time volunteering for causes we are passionate about. So far, we have already had incredible experiences in workaway in Sri Lanka (collaborating in a permaculture farm), South Korea (taking care of a small orchard), New Zealand (helping in a family blueberry farm), Kenya (staying with a Maasai family and helping with their small farm and daily chores) and in Nepal (working on an organic farm run by a Nepalese family).
We would love to learn more about gardening and farming. We could also share our experience in photography, web development, social media management and yoga and assist in any related task. Anyway, we could help with everything else as long as you can explain to us what to do, and we will be really happy to help and to learn new things!
To sum up, we are an easy-going, fun-loving, responsible couple that would love to get to know you and make ourselves helpful in any way we can!Interests
