Bienvenidos a una experiencia maravillosa por Valência, en un sitio muy bien localizado, trabajo tranquilo, en una ciudad espectacular! Tuve suerte en la adaptación en ese lugar, que te das muy tiempo libre para ir detras de tus cosas o explorar la linda ciudad y disfrutar de sus puntos bonitos. Super recomendable :)

Infelizmente yo tuve que salir antes de lo previsto por problemas personales. El espacio es muy bonito, tranquilo y los animales son muy amables. Es mucho trabajo fisico, que envuelven los perros, gatos y caballos, por eso es importante tener mucha disposición.

I definitely recommend this life experience to all travelers! Not only will you get to do the wonderful job of teaching children (who are wonderful), but you will also experience the culture, eat local food, and meet a family that will welcome you as their own. Yat is a person with a huge heart, it was a pleasure to live with him and his family. I also had the privilege of experiencing some Buddhist Ceremonies with the other volunteers. Don't think twice and apply for this wonderful volunteer position that will transform your life and fill your heart with pure love!

Maria Grazia I've been a host

Marina is one of the best volunteers we had at home! She's always positive, full of energy, very kind and open minded. Her smile is unique! She stayed at our home 2 years ago, but we are still in touch and I'm happy when we can meet!

Irene I've been a host

I hosted Marina two years ago and immediately we became friends. Marina is very polite and respectful and dedicated to the tasks. I can say with no doubts that any host can trust her. I had the pleasure to meet her again in Spain last winter and we are still in contact and I would host her again if she needs. On my IG account @bestitalianclasses there are a couple of old reels that she wanted to film with me, it was good fun. Don't hesitate to host Marina :)

Background

Education

Arquiteta buscando o meu propósito no mundo.

Work experience

Trabalhei num escritório de arquitetura em São Paulo, no Brasil. No Porto, em Portugal, tive experiências de empregos variados: desde bares noturnos até infantários (onde cuidei de crianças, como babysitter), vivi experiências por lá que me fizeram provar uma flexibilidadde maior, e que então, eu acabei me encontrando dentro dela.

Travel experience

Como viajo desde muito cedo (1 anito), a viagem me pertence e eu pertenço a ela.
Cresci em Itu, cidade no interior de São Paulo. Me mudei para a capital paulista e morei por 3 anos lá, cursando arquitetura.
Vivi 4 anos na cidade do Porto, em Portugal, me mudando no último ano para a Itália, e lá foi onde me libertei por completo por essa vida de viajante.
Uma das mais transformadoras experiências de viagem: fiz o Caminho de Santiago, que me levou do Porto até Santiago de Compostela, com uma grande mochila nas costas e muita paixão pela exploração.
Assumi a vida nômade e hoje considero a minha mochila a minha casa. Lares são pessoas para mim.
E sigo viajando, sigo caminho, sigo na estrada :)

Other volunteer experiences

Fiz voluntariado em abrigos de animais no Porto, em Portugal. Participei da Sociedade Protetora dos Animais do Porto e da Vivanimal.
