Description

Hello! My name is Elena and I'm a Maths and Science Teacher here in Spain. About myself I could say that I'm a really sociable and open-minded person, also I think that I'm really easy-going and cheerful. I love nature and every time I can I go to the mountain to enjoy that peace, to relax and, of course, to take photos. Actually, if you take a look at my album, you will be able to see some that I've taken :)
I have already some experience here in WorkAway and I have worked in different volunteering projects, both in and out of Spain, related to environmental conservation and animals.
I like helping and also meeting new people, so see you soon!

Well, Elena was yet another absolutely lovely young traveller we were privileged to host in our home. She is courteous, considerate, capable and great company. She helped us with many and varied tasks, learning new skills for some. She discovered she has an artistic side, persevering with learning the ukulele and showing great ability. Elena is … read more

I arrived to Alan's and Louise's looking for a shelter for two weeks while waiting for my van to be ready, and I ended up finding a home in New Zealand.
Together we've worked in the garden (planting, doing mulch, taking off weeds, trimming,...) and in the house (cleaning windows, cooking together and, of course, making concrete!), and I'm lucky … read more

Jailin is such an amazing host and person. Even before knowing that I was going to take care of her dog, cat and home, and become really close to her family, she offered me all the advice and help she could. She is responsible, easy-going and has a lot of experience with hosting travelers, so she's a great communicator and host too. Thanks for … read more

Elena looked after my home, cat and dog for several weeks. I didn't worry about a thing! Elena is intelligent, responsible, energetic and an excellent communicator. She spent time with my family and also built a relationship with them that she still maintains. Elena is welcome back anytime and I am fully confident in recommending her to others.

This has been the best first workaway experience I could have! Helping out there has been amazing, it has the best atmosphere ever :) Everybody is really friendly and Gemma and Merlin are amazing hosts, always willing to help or asking how your day was, but you can also find time for yourself if that's what you're looking for. Usually there are … read more
