At home
Description
My name is Raquel (but some people call me Rachel). I am from a town near Barcelona, Spain and one of my passions are travelling and learning new things. I do some volunteering here and there back at home, but I am willing to start this Workaway experience asap!

I'd describe myself (and others do too) as a positive and calm person, always trying to see the best in everyone and always very hard-working and willing to help.

Sustainability, education, animal welfare and human rights are some of the topics which I am interested in.

I try to stand for what I believe all times (one of my mantras: "Be the change you want to be in this world").

More details about your skills
I studied law and a Masters degree in Environmental law, so I'd say that reading, legal drafting, writing and academic are some of the skills I have acquired and mastered over time. I am also good with languages and I speak Spanish, Catalan, English, a tiny bit of French, and currently learning some German.

Despite my academics, I've also worked in other environments such as restaurants (including McDonalds) where I also worked with kids.

I am always open to learning and trying new things. Learning a new skill is always a way to grow as a person.

During my first week of my stay we combined trash picking and exploring the surroundings areas (waterfalls, trails, villages...) and on the second we went camping in a… read more

The experience with Recheal was good the centre provides everything that volunteer requires plus we don't charge any fee.... The above description is the reality and all we require is ideas, skills and help after all it's community project.
