EVA IN ARUBA
Accommodation
What did I learn personally?What did I learn professionally?
I was living in an apartment in Noord, quite simple inside but with a big swimming pool and internet! The island is really small so nothing is far away! Just
perfect for this experience!
Hi! My name is Eva, I am 24 years old, spanish and I’m living in the UK.
I am currently looking for a job while I am volunteering in Leeds.
I was every day in Aruba Donkey Sanctuary, a volunteer-run
organisation taking care of the donkeys and as well working in another
environmental projects in Aruba.
I was feeding the Donkeys, cleaning their poo, guiding a tour for tourists, sometimes as a bar tender or shop-assistant and helping the veterinary,
which I enjoyed the most.
I used to go to explore the island with Adrian, my project mate. We
enjoyed the beach, the hot weather, all natural places they have and their
cheerful inhabitants.
Professionally I learnt how to communicate with people speaking dutch or papiamento and also to present the project all over the
island.
Personally I learnt a new way of life and how it is influenced by Spanish
and Dutch culture, I made new friends and I became an Open Water
Scuba Diver!
Since I remember I wanted to became a veterinary, but with 16
years I realised it was too hard and I change my mind. I always wanted to
try working in what I love, animals!
