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!).

(Help out on at a country home ...)

I spent a week at Susan and Doug's farm and although I have difficulties with the English language, they made me feel at home. The place where they live is quiet and you could enjoy the company of many loving animals.
Susan has a great sense of humor and she is very attentive to the needs that travelers have when we are outside our country (she… read more

Gabriela was a very caring addition to our family.

For those looking to learn about permaculture, Anita's orchard/garden is… read more

(Help in the home and garden ...)

I was at Heather and Hamish's house for 20 days. Time passed quickly because there were so many beautiful places to visit. Also, from the first day, I felt a very calm atmosphere in the house of this lovely Canadian family who likes good music (if you are lucky sometimes you could hear Evan rehearsing some piano chords).
My work was simple, I… read more
