  • Description

    Hello! We are Alba (28) and Javi (30) two young Spaniards who, after finishing our studies and saving some money after our last years in Malaga, we are back to pack our backpacks with the illusion of sharing new experiences and ways of life. Travelling and getting to know new places is one of our passions and that is why we now intend to discover the Canary Islands in depth as we think that the island life is perfect for us as the nature lovers that we are. Thus, our goal for this year is to discover the hidden corners and people that they hide.
    Almost six years ago we had our first experience as volunteers through Workaway, at that time we chose England as our destination and after a few years in which we have focused on other aspects of our lives such as work and studies, now we think it is the perfect time to return to the experience.
    Javi is a carpenter, sportsman and a great lover of surfing and animals and I, Alba, am a journalist, photographer, philosopher and passionate about crafts and handicrafts. We are both in constant search of new learning and experiences so we love to share and meet new people and places. We are very responsible and proactive, we love outdoor activities in nature and good food, as well as preparing it. With our experience as volunteers we seek to learn new things, to discover the world, with our own experience.

    Hola! Somos Alba (28) y Javi (30) dos jóvenes españoles que, tras finalizar nuestros estudios y ahorrar algo de dinero después de nuestros últimos años en Málaga, volvemos a hacer nuestras mochilas con la ilusión de compartir nuevas experiencias y formas de vida. Viajar y conocer sitios nuevos es una de nuestras pasiones y es por eso que ahora tenemos la intención de descubrir a fondo las Islas Canarias ya que pensamos que la vida isleña es perfecta para nosotros como amantes de la naturaleza que somos. De este modo, nuestra meta para este año es ir descubriendo los rincones y gentes que éstas escondan.
    Hace casi seis años tuvimos nuestra primera experiencia como voluntarios a través de Workaway, en ese momento escogimos Inglaterra como destino y tras unos años en los que nos hemos centrado en otros aspectos de nuestra vida como el trabajo y los estudios ahora pensamos que es el momento perfecto de volver a retomar la experiencia.
    Javi es carpintero, deportista y un gran amante del surf y los animales y yo, Alba, soy periodista, fotógrafa, filósofa y apasionada de la artesanía y los trabajos manuales. Ambos estamos en la búsqueda constante de nuevos aprendizajes y experiencias por lo que nos encanta compartir y conocer gente nueva, además de lugares. Somos muy responsables y proactivos, amamos las actividades al aire libre en la naturaleza y la buena comida, así como prepararla. Con nuestra experiencia como voluntarios buscamos aprender nuevas cosas, descubrir el mundo, conocer gente y ofrecer nuestra ayuda a aquellos que la necesiten.
