CURRENT MISSION
Studying Msc in Forest and Nature Conservation in Wageningen University!
Connecting to the land. Climbing and hiking in the mountains, swimming and canoing in the lake

My name is Clari, I was born on a Thursday in Somerset, England. As they sing there to babies, “Thursday’s child has far to go”: within a week, I had travelled to Italy by car. It was the first of the many family car trips I have done between the South-West of Britain and Mandello del Lario on Lake Como; the first of many adventures around the world and the beginning of my restlessness, of my inability to stay in one place for a considerable amount of time. During high school I took a great leap in my life, all the way to socialist Venezuela for a year abroad. The experiences I lived there were intense, full of emotions and lessons that are always going to accompany me. 5 years later, after completing my bachelor in European Studies in Maastricht, The Netherlands, I finally went back to Latin America. This time I was free to travel, work, learn, share as I pleased, with no limits but the ones I set out for my own safety, on a mission to discover myself through the mystical wonders of this magnificent continent. I grew spiritually and returned to Europe enriched and grateful to spend some time with my parents, who in the meanwhile had also grown hungry for culture. So the three of us took off for Malawi and spent three intense months travelling and volunteering across Southern Africa. Now I’m back in Lake Como, living in a small stone hut in the fields!
