Description

I'm a 50 years old single woman, I like to have new experiencies, I don't like travelling alone, I need to share everything I discover, that's why I thought this would be the better way to know different places that I would like to visit. I like working, specially doing things with my hands, not with a computer. I'm an architect and I've participated on different courses about bio construction. I'm an animal defender, and I love them.
I would like to visit places with beautiful beaches in the summer. During the year is not so easy for me to travel, but maybe I can make the effort.

All strangers in the beginning but how wonderful to see that in a heartbeat we all became an incredible close team and genuine good friends! Because we were so many, there wasn't always work for everyone and it was funny to see how … read more

She and the other volunteer made firm and fast friends which was … read more
