Description
Hi friends! Nice to meet you! 🌱☀️
My name is Mara, I'm a solo traveller from Argentinian Patagonia in love with the nomadic life... I have spent the last years traveling/volunteering/working in hotels, hostels, Airbnbs, castles, glamping accomodations, organic farms, family houses, social-ecological projects in Switzerland, Italy,Turkey, Ireland, Georgia, Wales, England, Scotland, Spain, Greece, France, Portugal, Morocco, Egypt, Armenia, Germany, Balkans, Eastern Europe... Throughout this time and journey life has given me experiencies and encounters that I will never forget and for which I feel absolutely grateful!

When I was living in Bariloche (a touristic city at the foot of the Andes range, in Nahuel Huapi National Park) provided tourist accommodation services independently running an Airbnb. I managed all the parts of the process: marketing, contact with customers, housekeeping, reception, tourist information, maintenance, etc., etc., etc...

I love (and need) nature, animals, arts, learning about many things, meeting and sharing with new people and old friends, experiencing the different possibilities of this wonderful life...
I try to have a way of life as respectful as possible of the environment, something in which there is always more to learn and do.

From the labor point of view, I feel very committed with my work and I am not afraid when it is demanding. Actually, it's how I'm used to work for myself or for others.
I'm self-taught with what I like and I seek to be more and more self-managed. Whenever I consider it possible, I try to solve my own practical problems myself.

I am a History teacher, although I no longer practice, and feel a passion for art in general, particularly, literature and music, but I also love crafts, painting , drawing, dancing...
I have participated in different projects of community work (social and ecological ones) in Argentina and abroad and, in addition to having taught me many things, they made me very happy.

I consider myself a calm, cheerful, very sociable and adaptable person, trying always to have a positive and respectful attitude in life, I really enjoy sharing with others (it's not just a way of saying!). I think that is one of the main reasons why I'm traveling and I find time and ime again that it's a source of great happiness.
On the other hand, I really enjoy and value my moments of solitude, in which I always find a wide variety of exciting things to do (even just to stop). I'm never bored! 😄

I would be very pleased to contribute with my work to your project and share this beautiful experience with you! 🌱🌷🦋

I'm incredibly grateful to Katalin and her roommate, Zoli. The ten days I spent with them were a beautiful surprise along my journey. They are both kind souls, full of good feelings for others. What a privilege to meet such people!

It's hard to find words to describe how lovely this family is. I spent a month at the hostel and Taibja, Malsor and Avni made me feel immediately at home. It's truly a privilege to meet such kind and hospitable people, both on travels and in life! They are incredibly generous, understanding, sweet and flexible, always putting humanity first and… read more

If Mara writes you, you answer yes! She was an amazing part of our team. We try to keep high cleaning standards in our hostel but Mara went above and beyond. She has a great eye for detail, loves to make things tidy and look beautiful and, also very important, is just a really nice person to have around.
She's the kind of volunteer that when she… read more

Mara stayed for about 3 weeks and is officially a friend now. One I hope to see again. She is a radiant presence and truly carries the Buddha within her. I imagine she leaves friends everywhere she goes. Needless to say, she is a hard worker; there is very little she cannot or will not get done for you. I had her weeding a stone driveway - a… read more

I stayed at Kerry's for over a month. How difficult to express the quality of hostess that she is! A generous, happy, funny being, full of spontaneity and love of life. It was very easy to feel that I was meeting an old friend after a long time.

It's hard to find the right words to express my experience with Joyce and Aiden. They are both great, great human beings, the kind of people you are grateful to meet not only in your travels but in life. They are generous, kind, hospitable, warm, humble and welcoming. With them, it is absolutely easy to immediately feel at home.
Besides all this… read more

The experience was wonderful. I was there for a month during the winter and it came to feel like home. Fethiye is a beautiful city and the hostel is located in a very quiet place, close to the beach. The people there were lovely and warm to me, both Kemal (the manager) and Cherver (the owner) and the other volunteers. The volunteers were excellent… read more

She was always willing to lend a hand with whatever task needed to be done, whether it was cleaning, cooking, or helping with guest check-ins. Her positive attitude and cheerful demeanor made her a favorite among staff and guests alike. Beyond her excellent work ethic, Mara was also a… read more
