Description

ESPAÑOL ABAJO
I just graduated college, and am looking to explore, have adventures, and meet new people! I studied politics, social movements, and activism, and am very passionate about social and environmental justice. I love art of all kinds, and have lots of experience with dance, photography, drawing/painting, and more. I love the outdoors, especially hiking, camping, and kayaking. I'm super excited about connecting with lots of new people and learning about the culture and politics of new countries.
As of January 2024, I've done 5 Workaways, at a mix of hostels, nonprofit organizations, and farms. I've done lots of volunteering in the US, from being a summer camp counselor, to helping out at urban farms, to assisting at free immigration legal clinics. I'm fluent in Spanish, independent and self-motivated, and excited to try new things.

Justo me gradué de la universidad, ¡y quiero explorar, tener aventuras y conocer nuevas personas! Estudié la política, los movimientos sociales y el activismo, y me apasiona mucho la justicia social y ambiental. Me encanta arte de todo tipo, y tengo mucha experiencia en danza, fotografía, dibujar/pintar y más. Me encanta la naturaleza, especialmente hacer senderismo, camping y kayak. Me emociona mucho conectar con muchas personas nuevas y aprender de la cultura y política mexicana.
A partir de enero de 2024, he hecho 5 Workaways, en una mezcla de hostales, ONGs y fincas. He trabajado mucho de voluntario, desde ser monitora en un campamento de verano, hasta ayudar en granjas urbanas y asistir en clínicas gratis de ayuda legal de inmigración. Tengo fluidez en español, soy independiente y automotivada y estoy emocionada para tratar cosas nuevas.
