Description
Hello, I am a friendly and gentle person. I am from Valdivia, which is a city in the south of Chile. I started my trip in Canada visiting my brother in Vancouver, who worked at UBC. My mother tongue is Spanish, and my level of spoken English is basic, which I would like to improve while exploring the beautiful British Columbia through workaway.
I like writing and doing research in libraries. Outside my professional work as an anthropologist, I am also a Bach flower therapist (yes, I'm traveling with my basic kit of flowers). I love wellness activities, including yoga and meditation.
I do a lot of cycling in my spare time. I like cultural activities, going to the theater, as well as listening to all types of music, such as indie/folk, Brazilian music and jazz.
During the pandemic period, I went back with my grandparents to the countryside, where I found my ability to maintain a small greenhouse in which I spent many hours (I want to learn more about permaculture now!).Interests
