Description

HI,
I'm Serena and I'm a traveller since 3y already.
I traveled by car and tent between France, Spain (where I did a section of the Camino de Santiago), then i stopped for 1,5y in Portugal and then i reached Tenerife and Lanzarote.

In Portugal I've collaborated with various Quintes in their green projects:
- built wooden stairs on the ground, to replace a steep descent, to connect two terraces of the land (do it yourself); I collaborated in the manufacturing processes to obtain herbal teas, soaps and natural cosmetics; reforestation project in a totally Off-Grid area; gardening / weeding / watering; monitoring fruit trees and natural treatments for diseases/infestations;

I also spent 7 months as house sitter in a land with dogs, cats, chickens and peacocks, where I also managed an Airbnb: I took care of making the reservations, cleaning the yurt and the small hut (changing beds, towels, cleaning the bathrooms, the kitchen...), the check-ins.
I worked in a surfhouse and a hostel as a receptionist, cleaner and breakfast shift.

In the Canarias islands I was also a photographer and this is my biggest job-dream.
I also would like to learn video editing so I can show my point of view and how I see the world and its beauties.

I am a curious and an enthusiastic person;
I have a degree in agriculture.
Since I was a child I have always loved animals, of any species.
Indeed I have worked with: goats, cows, horses, pigs, chickens.
I've always been surrounded by cats and dogs.
I believe in positive energy and contact with nature.
I love learning as many jobs as possible and always putting myself to the test.
First of all I love traveling and filling my eyes with new places.

If you think I can fit in your place or that maybe we could have a a cultural exchange, send me a message.
