Description

Hey there! My name is Sara and I'm from Barcelona. I joined workaway because I have always enjoyed having experiences that differ from my day-to-day as well as meeting new people and different realities.
I'm particularly interested in languages, and I enjoy very much learning the local ones while traveling. I'm also interested in popular music, and that's one of the things I would like to discover during my travels (and even more if the destination is Brazil!). I play the guitar and the trombone and any opportunity to share music with other people is always very nice. Other things I love doing are sewing, hiking, reading… I have many things left to try and any new skill or knowledge I can add to the list will be more than welcome :)
I am well organized, active and passionate about many things. When I am comfortable, I am very out-going, even though I also enjoy spending time with myself.

More details about your skills

I work tutoring in languages and music. Mainly, I teach Spanish and Catalan (to individuals or groups) and guitar/ukelele/music theory. That has taught me many things and has given me the opportunity to connect with many different people and learn something from each one of them. On summers, I work with kids in summer camps.

My first workaway was in a juice production farm in Les Écrins (France), where I developed skills to help the owners produce the juice. I didn't have any experience, but I think I learned fast enough to be helpful. My second workaway was half helping out in a hotel (with cleaning and serving breakfast) and half teaching Spanish to the two children of the family. And the most recent experience was in a coffee field in Bahia (Brasil), where I tried to help with the installation of the irrigation system (and learned a lot on the way).

Other than that, I have also volunteered in a soup kitchen, where I helped out making dinner, getting the tables ready… We prepared dinner two days a week for almost 70 people! Within the same organization, I helped out in a charity store, where my job was to sort out bags with donations and organize whatever we could find inside (clothes, toys, books...).

I don't have a lot of experience in many fields, but I'm open to learn and I like to have diverse experiences!
