Description

Hey! Nice to meet you!

I'm Estrella! I was born and raised in La Palma, an island in the Atlantic that is a part of the Canary Islands archipelago. Many people from different backgrounds wound up here, so this meant that I grew up surrounded by multicultural families. Because of this, I have always gravitated to those kinds of spaces. Workaway has been the platform that has allowed me to do exactly that and discover the world in the best way I can think of: getting to know the locals and the next generations. Now that I have finally finished a four-year degree on Translating and Interpretation, I'm really looking forward to experiencing the world in this way again.

Living on an island made it easy to develop many different interests, but a perfect day for me would involve going for a nice hike, taking a dip at the beach or a river, share a tasty meal in great company and end the day with a good book. I'm very active and love many kinds of sports, but I have always had a soft spot for reading and stories - be it books, series or movies - since I was a child. My parents really encouraged these interests while I was growing up, so I tend to enjoy them the most when it comes to spending time with adults and children. This of course developed into a love for anything creative: I love listening to music, singing, dancing, painting, photography... To me, these are the things that make us human and really make me feel alive. Cooking is one of my favourite hobbies, I love to share the dishes from my culture, cook for others and share and try new recipes! My mother-in-law taught me how to knit, I love making socks and hats (hopefully a sweater real soon?) and I've been teaching some friends about it, if you're interested in that kind of stuff.

Coming back to multiculturalism, my degree has helped me learn and deepen my love for languages. I currently speak Spanish, English and German, and I'm trying to get back to talking level when it comes to French. Right now I'm quite interested in learning either Italian, Portuguese or Swedish (or whichever language is spoken in your household, really). I've also been teaching English to children for the last 5 years, if that's something you might be interested in!


Thank you for taking the time to read my profile!
Best regards, Estrella.

Plus de détails sur les langues qui m'intéressent
I'm very centered on improving the languages I already know and learning new ones. I'd be more than happy to teach the ones I have the most knowledge of.

Quelles sont vos compétences ?

I'm a quick and avid learner, so new skills would also be very much welcome. Here I leave you a little list of the most important things:

- Cooking: I am an experienced cook, and I love learning and cooking with other people. If you're interested in trying new dishes and sharing your kitchen with me, I would be delighted.

- Taking care of children: I have had the pleasure of living with and taking care of some amazing children thanks to Workaway. Thanks to them, I discovered that I had arguably more to learn from them than the other way around. Seeing children grow, learn, and have fun is something I cherish and I love being a part of it.

- Languages: as noted before, I speak some languages, and I have experience teaching them. I'd love it if we'd help and learn from each other.

- Dealing with animals: I'm comfortable with any of them, and I'm most experienced with; dogs, which I love taking for walks and training them; horses, which I can ride on a basic level and can clean and groom; and chickens.

- Crafts and construction: I must admit that, even though I don't have a lot of experience, I do know how to get around with a bit of help. I'm very proactive and always looking for things to improve, so with some indications I could take off and work by myself. Lifting heavy things or any hard tasks are no problem for me.
