About me

I worked as an arts researcher for almost 20 years but I got tired of bureaucracy and I quit three months ago. I want to travel to meet new people and learn new things. My hobbies are hiking, reading, meditation, yoga and learning. I'm an internet fan, not so much social networks as open knowledge platforms, I'm a big fan of open access and all its implications. I love to enjoy a simple life in quiet places, preferably in natural settings.

Preferred location

I want to travel to Central and South America doing volunteer work related with animal care, be it helping at a wildlife refuge, a shelter for dogs and cats or a farm. I love any kind of animals and want to spend some months enjoying nature.

Skills

I got an MA in theatre but recently I'm more interested in animals, ecology and nature than in the arts. I'm pretty good taking care of animals and I love it. I also enjoy participating in eco projects and gardening although I don't have much experience doing that. My native language is Spanish but I also speak English and I have good writing and translating skills. I can help with computer stuff (writing for a blog, designing a web page, using platforms, basic design). I can also be a nice host! I'm very patience and easy going.

Additional info

I am not a smoker, I have a drivers license, I am a vegetarian and I have no allergies.

I prefer a vegetarian diet, but I'm flexible about it, I can eat other things.
