My name is Leire. I was born in the Basque Country (beautiful green land in the north of Spain) and I moved to Barcelona two years ago, city which I fell in love with for its enormous diversity. Right know I traveling around Brasil and knowing different communities . I spent a month in Petropolis participating in an artistic project and after a couple weeks in Rio de Janeiro I came to Bahia, to Pedra do Sabia, to spend a month working as a volunteer.

I studied Psychology moved by the mystery of the human kind and a willingness to reach a deeper knowledge of myself and others around me. Once in Barcelona I started to study Art Therapy and I found out that my favorite way to connect with others is art, all kind of arts.

I always enjoyed traveling and discovering new places. But above this I love shearing real human experiences, getting in touch with different cultures living a day to day life with strangers that end up being part of your family. At the age of 13 I lived with a family in France and Ireland. In the next years I had the opportunity to live with two other different families in San Francisco and Florida. On the third year of university I created my own family in Italy, with people from all over Europe that went there with an Internship program called “Erasmus”. I also worked in London for some moths and I have traveled to many other places in Europe, Brasil, Thailand and Indonesia.

I love to connect with nature, to meditate, to have a nice talk with a stranger,
to be touched by a poem...
I am really interested in holistic health and education, philosophy, astrology...
Dance, dance, dance... move with the dance of life! That's my motto.
I often cry with a beautiful sunset and laugh till die with a bad joke. That's me.
