Lisbon, Portugal - from Sep 2022 until May 2023 View allDescription
Hi! My name is Marta and I'm from Spain. I'm currently living in Vancouver; I'm here on exchange doing my 4 year of uni studying Nutrition and Food Science.
I reactivated my workaway account to take advantage of the breaks during the school year and to go explore while in this side of the Altantic Ocean. I'm always recommending workaway to other people, so I'm very excited about having again the opportunity to be a workawayer! I'm very curious and lively and I'm willing to share experiences all around.
I love the outdoors and nature: hiking, climbing, running, mountain biking or being in the middle of nowhere really make my day. My bakpack is one of my best friends and I love going around. I also like reading, writing and yoga, which I've been practicing on and off since I was a child.
I've already been involved in several volunteering projects teaching and doing environmental activities. I've taken part in two volunteering work camps, some European exchanges and a two-months European Solidarity Corps project, plus three wonderful workaway exchanges; so I really enjoy multicultural environments. These experiences have been really rewarding and enriching and through them I've gained some grounding on coping with unpredictable situations and with the usual strains that can arise with communal living.
Some more things about me, I'm vegan and I live the most concious way I can. I'm constantly rethinking why things are like they are and I do my best to improve what is around me. I sometimes have some eco anxiety and discomfort because I empathise very easily with the problems of the world. Whereas this is a pain during some periods, I try to use it as a motor. I think everyone is responsible of what to buy, eat, say, etc. So I'm always willing to share thoughts and learn from others.Interests
