Description
I like the idea of learning through doing. I believe purpose comes from being useful, staying curious, and leaving a positive impact wherever possible.
Traveling, for me, is not about collecting destinations but about understanding different ways of life, stepping outside my comfort zone, and growing as a person. I enjoy simple living, community-oriented projects, and experiences that create a positive impact for everyone involved.
I have a degree in Engineering and have worked on different projects over the years. I studied English in London, and I also spent some time in Berlin where I gave German a try… without much success.
I’ve worked on different projects over the years, often as part of a team. I’m used to adapting quickly, taking responsibility, and helping where needed. I enjoy learning new things and contributing in practical ways.

What else ...
I’ve traveled quite a bit and spent time in different countries and cultures, which has helped me become open-minded, adaptable, respectful and comfortable working with people from diverse backgrounds. I enjoy being part of shared projects, contributing where needed, and learning from the people around me.
I’ve volunteered with TECHO, an NGO focused on building temporary housing solutions for families living in vulnerable conditions. Through this experience, I learned the importance of teamwork, commitment, and working with purpose. https://colombia.techo.org/

Pase 2 semanas increíbles en la finca, simplemente gracias a todo la familia y voluntarios, por la deliciosa comida, por las charlas que compartimos, por las actividades que realizamos. Fue una gran experiencia ayudar con las tareas del campo y en el mercado. Fueron el impulso final para terminar mi travesía en bici. Un gran abrazo.
