Description

Greetings, I'm Sarah. I love the challenge of creating a home base while aiming to achieve the unattainable task of seeing the world! I was born and raised in Montana and grew up surrounded by nature and camping, so I don't need much else to be happy. I am now a Spanish citizen currently based in Catalunya. I aim to discover more about who I am and how to deepen my connection with others, the environment, and my creative fire. I am a writer, herbologist, and editor. I help support organizations and entities to hone their messaging and transmit their work into the work. I also worked in customer service for many years so I can work with people and juggle responsibilities in a fast-paced environment.

I am particularly passionate about medicinal plants. I have field experience in Venezuela, Costa Rica, and Colombia. I am eager to contribute my skills to meaningful projects worldwide (further info on them can be found below). I enjoy meeting locals in different areas and exploring various cultures to get an insider perspective on living there. It helps me better understand what the place is like and the diversity and unity in us all.

I want to make my short time on this planet meaningful by supporting the causes I believe in. I believe in the expression "mi casa es tu casa" and when I am traveling I treat other people's spaces as I would my own home. I am highly adaptable to many situations and conditions, especially since the planet is constantly in flux. I am dependable, hard-working, creative, and supportive of people's collective dreams and visions.

Let’s connect and explore how we can work together. I am new to Workaway but have done volunteer work in many different places, some examples are below:

· Sitges International Film Festival (Sustainability team) | October 2024 | (Sitges, Spain)
· Permaculture farm volunteer| 2010 | (Lima, Peru)
· Organic farming volunteer | 2008 | (Barquisimeto, Venezuela)
· Gardening support for permaculture farm| 2007 | (Costa Rica)
· Internship- Citizens for Responsible Crime Policy | 2006 | (Montana, USA)

Feel free to reach out if you have any questions or want to see a list of references or my portfolio. Many thanks!
