Description
Hello I'm Nel! I graduated this past May (2025) with a degree in environmental anthropology. I love being out in nature and exposing myself to lifestyles different from my own.
I am looking for an opportunity to travel, adventure and integrate into a new pace of life. I want to soak up any skills/knowledge I can, particularly in environmental preservation, traditional ecological knowledge, language/cultural exchanges, and art projects. As an anthropologist, I am well equipped with knowledge (and a BIG passion) of how to integrate into other cultures. I find it so enriching to be granted the chance to connect with people from different walks of life.
A little about myself..
I am a former dancer who returns to movement regularly. I practice yoga and meditation daily. I am a well seasoned hiker and camper.
This past summer, I interned with the Texas State Parks, where I gained hands-on experience in ecological management practices, specifically maintaining natural and cultural resources. Most recently, I completed a season in outdoor conservation work. We built trails, planted saplings in burn sites, felled trees, and operated chainsaws. I enjoy living and working in close proximity to nature. I find so much purpose in this lifestyle.
I have a vast horizon of artistic interests, writing, dance, fashion and visual art. I love talking ecology as my relationship to nature is super important to me. I'd love to work in an environment where I can maintain these artistic relationships.
As a bonus, I've done ample research on Indigenous populations in Latin America, so I am really interested in seeing these spaces in person !!!
I would also really love to learn and improve my Spanish through immersion!!

As a former dancer, I have experience with teaching technique classes as well as creating choreography.
I have experience with maintaining land, weeding and gardening. I would love to learn more about sustainable permaculture!

Thank you for all your beautiful work and for being apart of the family here at Urban. We were lucky to have Nel join us for a month here at the hostel and oh what a month it was. She was very quiet at first and over time I watched her flower and become a true member of our team.
