Description
Hi! My name is Maria, I’m from Poland and currently lucky enough to be able to take time off work and travel. I love connecting with people, learning about them and their cultures - I’m naturally a very curious person. Being outside, in nature and with animals brings me a lot of joy. I’m always down to try new things - whether it’d be an activity or food. Visiting Latin America has been my dream for many years and I can’t believe it is actually happening!

More details about your skills
I'm naturally a very adaptable and curious person. I have work experience in coordinating different projects (in a consulting company, at an arts festival), as well as in customer service (working in a coffee shop and as an executive assistant).

I spent many of my summers as a kid/teenager at a horse stud, taking care of different animals. I have also had a chance to do it recently at different workaways.

I've volunteered and have been a coordinator in a non-profit organisation helping elderly people and kids from underprivileged families.

I have helped with garden works (mulching, pruning, planting) as well as renovation (tearing off plaster, working with clay and cement, painting walls and furniture). I don’t have a huge amount of experience in that area but I think that I have what’s one of the most important things - a can-do attitude and I’m always willing and excited to learn new things.

Maria participó de manera fantástica durante dos semanas!

Principalmente nos ha asistido en la construcción de muros de piedra seca, la instalación de un sistema de agua, tareas de limpieza alrededor de la casa y mucho más. Es una persona muy enérgica y positiva que no duda en ponerse manos a la obra. Aprende rápido y tiene un enfoque muy… read more

Este proyecto es todo lo que dice la descripción y mucho más!
Qué privilegio fue pasar el tiempo con Julia y Joep, ayudar y aprender de ellos. Son personas con buena energía, muy atentos y sobre todo - siempre dispuestos a explicar cosas y compartir su gran experiencia y sabiduría. Son verdaderamente inspiradores, involucrados en la vida de la… read more

La finca de Tati es un lugar muy especial, que transmite mucha paz, creado por personas extremadamente lindas. Muchísimas gracias Tati, doña Helena y Julián por acogerme de una forma tan bonita, por todas las conversaciones (tanto las ligeras, como las profundas), risas y comidas compartidas. Me siento muy afortunada por haberlos conocido.

Hablar de Maria es un recordar su hermoso cuidado y amor. La verdad siempre se dice que el ultimo voluntario es el mas bello, pero con Maria sentimos que la conexion con ella, con su ser y sobre todo con su fuerza para ayudar en todo lo que necesitamos en casa fue demasiado especial. Consideramos a Maria ya un integrante mas de nuestra familia y… read more

María, María, María...

Qué estarás haciendo ahora y en dónde?

Definitivamente María y su locura deberían estar en tu proyecto. Siempre tiene buena energía y dice que lucha con su carácter jjajaa para estar en balance (mentira), es muy alegre y bromista lo que la hace muy fácil de tratar. Es responsable, fuerte, atrevida, decidida y además muy… read more

I stayed with José, Vivian and Tomás for 6 weeks (was going to leave after 5 weeks but extended my stay last minute - I just didn’t want to leave…). It was one of the best ways to learn about Mexico and experience their culture - from having plenty of conversations in Spanish during meals, trying to learn Mexican slang with José’s friends, eating… read more

Even though we had a short collaboration, we had a great time with Maria!!!

Her spanish is very good, as well as her ability to make friends and reach the goals assigned.

Good luck Maria!! You have a house in Mexico!!

I joined Jorge's project for 5 days during a tree planting campaign and I really enjoyed it! From the very beginning the communication with Jorge was excellent, we had a meeting with all volunteers the first day and Jorge made sure we knew exactly what was needed and what was expected of us. Even though I didn't have a chance to stay longer it was… read more

I think the most straightforward review of my stay at Paloma's rancho would be: I was planning to be there for 2 weeks, I stayed for 1,5 months! From the very beginning I felt at home at the rancho - thanks to Paloma's warmth and friendliness. I loved the sense of community during my stay, as well as the varied tasks that we had to perform (I even… read more

You must have her at your project, she is the best🤍 she really compromises and makes her best effort, i loved that even it was the first time she did a lot of the activities she did them great. Her common sense and the dedication she puts in everything is amazing. Also her friendship is something everyone needs!
