Descripción
¡Hola! Somos Nicole y Jordi, una pareja de España, y a partir de enero de 2025 comenzaremos nuestra gran aventura como mochileros. Llevamos tiempo planeando (y soñando) este viaje y estamos emocionados por la oportunidad de conocer diferentes países, culturas y formas de vida a través de Workaway. Nos encanta la idea de poder colaborar con familias, grupos de personas o organizaciones, ya sea en el campo, en granjas, escuelas o donde sea necesario, para ayudar y aprender.

A ambos nos apasiona la naturaleza, y la experiencia se vuelve aún mejor si estamos rodeados de animales, niños y personas con las que compartir intereses y aprendizajes. En España, yo (Nicole) trabajo en educación infantil, siempre he disfrutado cuidando, enseñando y aprendiendo de los niños. Jordi, por su parte, trabaja en el ámbito de la consultoría, y juntos compartimos el amor por la naturaleza, los animales y las actividades al aire libre.

Nos encanta pasar tiempo en la naturaleza haciendo excursiones, acampando los fines de semana, esquiando en invierno o practicando snorkel en verano. También disfrutamos de la compañía de nuestros perros, gatos y de los caballos con los que hemos tenido la suerte de convivir. Somos dos personas muy activas, nos gusta embarcarnos en cualquier plan y realizar diferentes deportes.

En nuestro tiempo libre, nos gusta aprender. Yo, Nicole, suelo dedicarlo a estudiar inglés y leer, mientras que Jordi comparte mis ganas de mejorar en idiomas y descubrir nuevos libros donde aprender conceptos nuevos. Mi nivel de inglés es intermedio, y uno de los objetivos durante nuestro viaje es mejorar mi fluidez, además de estar abiertos a intercambios lingüísticos con quienes lo deseen.

Estamos muy ilusionados por lo que nos espera en esta aventura y deseando contribuir y aprender de las experiencias que nos encontraremos en el camino.

Me apasiona tanto aprender como enseñar idiomas. En mi día a día estudio inglés desde casa, ¡y lo disfruto muchísimo! Durante nuestro viaje a través de diferentes Workaways, me encantaría mucho mejorar mi inglés practicándolo con otras personas, y también aprender sobre otros idiomas. Como pasaremos bastante tiempo viajando por Asia, nos hemos comprado libros de diferentes idiomas para aprender conceptos básicos que nos ayuden a expresarnos en cada uno de los lugares que queremos visitar y así mostrar respeto y cariño en cada sitio que vayamos. Además, me encanta enseñar mi idioma, el español. He tenido la oportunidad de participar en intercambios de idiomas en algunas ocasiones, y siempre ha sido una experiencia muy enriquecedora.

Que habilidades tienes?
En cuanto a mis habilidades, tengo mucha experiencia en la educación infantil, enseñando, preparando actividades y conocimientos sobre el cuidado infantil.
Tengo habilidades en el trato con los animales, me considero una persona paciente, empática y con un gran amor hacia ellos. También me apasiona la naturaleza, donde me podría pasar horas en ella, contemplándola o cultivando y cuidando de las plantas. Soy una persona que en el tiempo libre me encanta aprender cosas nuevas. Normalmente dedico ese tiempo a mejorar mi inglés, leer libros, tocar la guitarra, aprender sobre fotografía... Creo que las grandes habilidades nacen cuando pones amor y energía en lo que haces, y esa es la clave para cualquier tarea.

Jordi por su parte tiene experiencia en consultoría informática, planificando y organizando proyectos para implantar un software de gestión de empresas (ERP). Tiene un grado en ingeniería espacial y un master en finanzas, en los cuales ha realizado tareas de ayudante de profesor y de refuerzo a alumnos. Le encantan los animales y la naturaleza, cuidar y aprender de ellos.

We are both very friendly people and very easy to get along. We love to get to know new people, share stories and hear new stories. We both like humor, so we will for sure share some jokes in our talks. We like to share with people as much as we can from who we are and help them in any possible way. The same way we are very open to here from others and learn from everything they have to say. We love our planet and we love everyone and everything in it :).

Nicole and Jordi is a wonderful couple that adapted super smoothly into our family and left a great impression with everyone.

Both of them have many skills and an incredibly positive and proactive approach. Separately they have all the qualities we can wish for in a volunteer, on a professional, cultural and personal level.

What does it mean to me after 26 days?
It feels like home. It's that place where family, tradition, stillness, quietness, hard-work, fun, sun, clouds, mountains and food live in peace together. That place which, from the first message, your intuition tells you to go. And it was not wrong to tell you so.

The project Thomas started here is… read more inspiring. A coffee farm whose main focus is not mass production and profit, but taking care of the environment and the people that live in it. We often heard how it had changed their lives. How before they were involved in very hard and demanding jobs, underpaid and unable to spend time with their families. And now, all that has changed. Everyone is khusi (happy) here, and spreads that love and happiness to their volunteers.

Dinesh is the executor of this project. Highly knowledgeable about everything regarding farming and so ever keen to share that know-how to anyone curious enough to want to learn. The plants are his babies and, as an ever-loving mother, he takes care of them with all the kindness and love a mother has for her kids.

Mangale is the embodiment of pureness and hard-work. He is always in movement, helping you out and carefully teaching you how to improve. All of that, always, accompanied by the most contagious smile that I have ever seen. His soul is beautiful and the morning walks with him from Nawalpur are magical. Thank you for all the effort you've invested in communicating with me, all the Nepali and Tamang words you've shown me and all that love we have shared.

Ama is the mother. She does not speak English, but she clearly communicates with you with her eyes and loveliest smile. I will forever remember our first day. She sat in front of us and I was just pointing at things and asking her for the Nepali word for it. That small game we played filled the day with her laughter and, my heart, with joy. I wish I could have heard your story and learnt from your experience. Despite that, you still taught me many lessons that I will safeguard in me. Thank you for your kindness and sweet love.

Bishal is like a brother. A person who always enjoys a good joke and sharing a good time. He too is the DJ and chef. Loved hearing "Baby - Justin Bieber" while working and then eat the delicious food he had prepared for us. His curry is sublime! Thank you for taking us into your family with arms wide open, for all the laughs we have shared and for always asking us if everything was okay!

Deepa is like an older sister. Since day one making sure we arrived and rested well, and ensuring we were having a great time here. Each time she arrived, she will always carry some special food for us and we loved it! She has the perfect balance between kindness and strictness to keep the project as bright as it is and for its volunteers to feel comfortable but also responsible for it. Thank you for the warm welcome, for caring for us and for allowing us to be us at your home!

Finally, this stay would have never been the same without all the volunteers we have had the pleasure to share our days with. All your stories have been wonderful to here and all your lessons are well kept in me too. Each of you has a wonderful and unique way of being but all sharing a common goal: to make this Earth a better place and enjoy the ride! Thank you Leo, Tiva, Maxime, Sam, Lee & Eleonora, Declan and Maarten & Sophie. It has been a true pleasure to spend time with you and I deeply hope to see you all somewhere else and continue to listen and share stories with each other.

Nicole: We have spent two weeks at the school. These have been two very beautiful weeks, during which we have had the opportunity to get to know the interesting methodology promoted by the school, as well as the incredible people who work there.

I am a preschool teacher in Spain, and I have had the chance to be in the kindergarten classrooms,… read more helping and suggesting activities for the children. From the very first moment, they have shown great interest in my knowledge in the field of education and have given me a lot of freedom to introduce them to different ways of working in the classroom, encouraging the use of alternative methodologies.

However, I must say that I have learned much more from this school than what I may have been able to teach them. I have loved seeing their routines with the children, how they teach, and how every corner of the school is designed to foster students’ learning and creativity.

I leave with valuable knowledge and a deep sense of happiness for having had the opportunity to meet all of you.

Jordi: this school is a place of magic. Since my first day, I have been mesmerized by its staff, students and education methodology.

We were driven around KG school, a place where everything is minutely designed for children to enjoy, learn, create and improve their motricity. Corridors are decorated with basic geometry shapes and lines. Special floors are built for children to be able to write and draw on them with chalk. Classes have different areas for children to explore. Pillars have drawings at the height of children’s eyes exposing important information: cycle of water, cycle of germination, etc. All in all, it looks like the perfect place for children to release all the creativity and energy that they have.

I then had the pleasure to spend some days on their primary school, to aid and see how IT classes were carried out. Mrs. Anita is a wonderful and very knowledgeable lady. I loved the calm and passionate way she speaks to her students, and the tools she is using in each class for students to get familiarized with computers, keyboard and mouse. I had the pleasure to talk to many of her students, to answer their eager questions, to see their amazing animal drawings and their animated videos. It was truly and amazing experience to see how students came in quiet, hesitant, thinking who this new man in the classroom is, and how they exited happily, with an unquavering smile, waving multiple times bye-bye. It was a truly heart-filling experience.

My main task during our 14-day stay was to get to know their ERP, Edunext, and then visit different departments from each of their buildings to see which shortcomings did their users experience and then plan solutions or developments to be done. Thanks to this job I had the pleasure of meeting many employees, all of which have been extremely kind and open to me. I gathered all the issues they shared, asked and discussed possible solutions and, finally, documented all of them to discuss them with the head of the IT department, Mr. Deepak Sharma. Hopefully my work has been helpful for them to continue their path of automation and technological change.

Nicole & Jordi: Our deepest gratitude for Anuja Ma’am, for accepting us to stay on her ever-growing project. Thank you for all the care you have taken for us since our very early arrival to our last day at the school. Thank you for worrying and always hoping the best for us. Massive thanks also to Gurleen, who has helped us numerous times during our stay and who always shared a beautiful smile with us. And, massive thanks too to Vatsla, for driving us around the school on our first day and for helping us with every query we have had. It has been a pleasure to meet all of you and to share moments and experiences with you all.

Finally, my deepest gratitude for Mr. Deepak Sharma. He has been a wonderful mentor to me. Thank you for all the meetings we have shared, but above all, thank you for sharing with me your knowledge and your time. I will closely keep all those conversations we have shared and all those lectures you have taught. Thank you for igniting a small spark in me that, I truly believe, will bring loads of good changes in me.

India has historically been a country where people came in search of knowledge, and with a very special way of thinking. I can guarantee that, if you are in search of those two things, this place will find a way to enlighten you.
