Description

Hello!! I am Vanessa, a 23-year-old Italian woman studying in Barcelona. I am sociable and productive, and always want to help and learn new things! I am an artist who enjoys sketching, painting, and customizing clothes. I have a passion for sustainability, and I enjoy being involved in green projects that can make a positive social impact. I like interacting with people, learning from them, and sharing my perspectives.

I love animals, vegan food, nice talks, sunsets, making people laugh, and beach volleyball at 6 pm!

I think working as a volunteer abroad is a great opportunity to share values with people from different backgrounds but with similar interests, so I hope I can find individuals who are striving for a kinder and more sustainable planet. ;)

More details about your skills

I like to express my creativity through visual arts. I tried different techniques such as watercolor painting, sketching with pencils, and markers, oil painting, and more, but so far my favorite is fabric painting.

I have been vegan since 2020 and developed some skills on how to make veggies and vegan protein taste good, I would like to gain more experience on this and share what I learned! :)

During my bachelor's (Computational Social Science) we worked on many social projects, where we have a lot of space for creativity and critical thinking. I can provide some insights on green projects from a social and data science perspective!

I am now pursuing a master's in Global Challenges for Sustainability with a specialization in Sustainable Food Systems.

Vanni is an exceptional person. I can't put my finger on exactly what it is, in various languages there are expressions such as 'straight in her shoes', 'happy in her skin' ... she is just a happy person, honest, uncomplicted, positive. She was up for any task that she asked, including a lot of cleaning which she did happily, even though she would … read more

I spent 5 days here and wish I could have stayed more!! It is such a welcoming place and the people here are very open to share their culture and life stories with you :). I was lucky to work at the beautiful garden they have and learn some basics of weeding. I really recommend this place to anyone who is / isn’t into spirituality, as it’s a nice … read more

It was such a delight to have Vanessa here with us! Vanny is very easy-going, funny and enthusiastic. She would always be into any type of activity and she is also trustworthy and fully committed when given a task.
We absolutely loved having her here and we are looking forward to welcoming her again anytime.
All the best dear Vanessa!

I've been part of here for two weeks and I had such a great time. It was probably the most intense time for the project since I arrived one week before the opening of the art residency. I had the chance to witness the results of all the hard work these beautiful people have put through in the last few years and contribute to that. I expected only … read more

We miss Vanny here so much. Such a talented and hard-working individual is hard to find, and she is all of this and more. From the moment she arrived, she was offering help and willing to learn and do all sorts of tasks. She contributed in the kitchen, as well as cleaning and construction, and also left a lasting reminder of her time here with … read more
