Description

I am a positive, dynamic, creative and eco-friendly person who loves living in community.
In the past years I have been working as volunteer within different countries and cultures and, while expanding my understanding about the world I became more and more interested about sustainability, intercultural learning and non-formal education as the real way of development.
I am independent, patient and hardworking.
I love the sun, the ocean, the trees, the stars! I love traveling, living between Nature and working together with people in an environment of sharing and mutual learning. I recently discovered a new interest related with permaculture & sustainability that I would like to explore and to read is one of my favorite hobbies.
I am a simple human with simple habits but a heart willing to grow while sharing my life with others.

I spent 2 weeks in LA Serena with Ale and Nico and it was a really cool experience. 2 weeks is not a long period but I felt at home from the first day.
The accommodation and work may vary, but I was living in a Glamping next to the beach and surrounded by nature (which was a big plus) and was working in the Hostel they have in town. You can walk … read more

Nuestra experiencia con Mari y Claudia fue MARAVILLOSA. Como voluntarias siempre vas a querer tenerlas a tu lado, pero además como personas más aún. Son muy preocupadas, proactivas y resolutivas.

They have a very … read more

Mary was with us as a workaway volunteer (together as a couple with Gianni who goes here as Jhonfredydiaz). The original plan was for 3 or 4 weeks but they ended up staying for more than 4 months. I would have been delighted if they had stayed even longer. They were both wonderful but I will focus on this feedback on Mary. I'll make a separate one … read more
