Nuestra experiencia con Bruna fue bastante positiva. Es una persona responsable, comprometida y seria cuando se trata del trabajo. Siempre dispuesta a contribuir, dar ideas y buscar el beneficio tanto personal como profesional, así como el de la empresa. Demostró también tener muy buena interacción con los clientes, compañeros de trabajo y los voluntarios que colaboran de este proyecto que es Rancho Margot. Estamos seguros de que la colaboración de Bruna será muy provechosa en cualquier otro programa de voluntariado. ¡Muchas gracias!

The lodge is a place full of amazing people! The volunteering program is very organized, and I was able to work in different areas (garden, dairy, housekeeping, kitchen). Delicious food, free yoga classes, and beautiful surroundings. My heart is with the staff, so friendly and generous. It felt like home. They are incredibly patient and knowledgeable. Thanks, the lodge for everything! Hope to see all of you again :)

Bruna é uma voluntária calma, prestativa, inteligente e se integra muito bem, tanto com hospedes como com outros voluntários. Contribuiu fazendo café da manhã, na recepção, no bar e ainda em áreas organizacionais e criativas. Certamente irá longe na jornada que está se propondo.

Minha experiência no hostel foi ótima! Me senti acolhida pelos anfitriões Leo e Fran, que são pessoas do bem e muito flexíveis. Eles curtem ficar junto com a galera do hostel, criando uma atmosfera agradável e divertida. O ambiente é incrível: uma casa na beira da lagoa, que te deixa com vontade de ficar lá dentro o tempo inteiro. Foi um privilégio tomar café da manhã com vista para a lagoa todos os dias! A localização é ótima, com fácil acesso para praias e trilhas. O trabalho foi tranquilo, era revezado entre mais voluntários e nós nos ajudávamos nas tarefas. Recomendo!

About me as an author

Decidiu botar a mochila nas costas e ir explorar o mundo. Sem data de retorno. Designer, ama cinema, música e bons livros. E um cafezinho também!

Background

Education

- My education comes from books (I love reading), travels, friends, and psychotherapy.

- Bachelor 's degree in Industrial Design (Universidade Federal de Santa Maria, Brazil).

Work experience

- For the last 7 years, I work with industrial design in Porto Alegre, RS, Brazil.
- I'm passionate about creative work and have an interest in research for design. Training my inner researcher through traveling and conversations.

- Now it's time to explore! Searching for different activities and willing to develop new skills.

Travel experience

My first travel experience was backpacking through Latin America. Rather than winning a graduation party, I negotiated this trip with my family. I visited Peru, Bolivia, and Chile for 28 days, with two friends, a backpack and many adventures. I'm glad I did it! This experience turned me into part of who I am today. Every holiday or vacation I had, I traveled to neighboring countries: I could enjoy a little bit of Uruguay and Argentina. I spent several holidays in Punta Del Diablo, experiencing their simplicity and tranquility, which always made me feel good. The slogan "Uruguay Natural" is for real. In 2016, I crossed the ocean for the first time. My dream was to visit Stockholm, and on the way, I saw the Berlin wall, fell in love with Amsterdam and the Dutch people. The will to travel only increases, and now I decided to release my free spirit and live a life of traveling.
