Description

Who I am 🙋🏽‍♀️

I’m an empathetic, positive, and curious traveler, always eager to grow and learn.

Travel & mindset 🌍

Three years backpacking through Southeast Asia and Europe, mainly volunteering. I value cultural exchange and slow travel.

What I can help with 🤝

Experience in hostels and farms: reception, housekeeping, breakfast service, bar support, guest animation, and social media assistance.

How I work ⚙️

Adaptable, responsible, and comfortable working in multicultural teams. I like being part of the project, not just passing through.

Extra ✨

I often return to projects for a second stay or extend my volunteering when everything flows well.

I speak Spanish (native), English, and Portuguese fluently, and I'm currently learning Italian 💗

More details about your skills

During these three years of traveling, I’ve learned to adapt to all kinds of environments. My experience comes from New Zealand, where I worked in kiwi and blueberry packing and also as a barista and kitchen assistant. Those experiences taught me the value of teamwork and how to keep a positive attitude even during busy times.

I also feel very comfortable in hospitality. I’ve helped with reception, housekeeping, and bar work in both hostels and farms. I truly enjoy welcoming guests and making them feel at home, whether it's by making a coffee, helping them with check-in or cleaning.

Being a journalist, I have a natural eye for detail and communication. I’m always happy to lend a hand with social media to help showcase the project from a creative perspective.

What matters most to me: Beyond the tasks, I’m looking for a genuine exchange. I love learning new ways of doing things and immersing myself in the local culture. I am responsible and proactive, but above all, I value the meaningful connections that come from working alongside good people 🤝
