Description
Hola! I'm Eliana, age 23 from London. I just graduated from university studying politics, and although it was fascinating, I now want to dedicate more time learning about and working with nature.
I am looking to volunteer somewhere to connect with and give back to local communities during my travels, but would also love to pick up new skills that will help me in my personal development. Not just with nature- I'm open to everything!
I have so many interests, but I particularly love music, carpentry, gardening, birdwatching and socialising.
Having spent the past few years studying on my laptop, I'm really looking forward to doing a work away so I can get my hands dirty and meet new people in the process!

Uno de las razones clave que escogi a viajar por Colombia/Pero fue para aprender espanol. Mi abuelo es de Barcelona, y porque esta envejeciendo , esta perdiendo su abilidad de hablar en ingles. Entonces, quiero mejorar mi espanol para que pueda hablar con el. Tambien, quiero poder hablar con los locales y aprender de su hermoso pais.
