// Hi there , Olá, Hola :)
My name is Verónica Avendaño, but everybody calls me by my second name Francisca.
I´m 28 years old. I love learning about new things, such as new cultures, sustainable life, literature, education, nature, permaculture, etc.
I grew up in the South of Chile always surrounded by nature and animals, I really love all about nature!
My family lives in La Serena, in the North of Chile. I live in the World!,..
Well, now I´m living in UK !
Of course I love my country, I love the South ! As I really want to make my projects become a reality, I decided to learn more from other "worlds" for some years,. to finally return to the countryside with more tools to build my dreams and also share them by living in community, of course !

I love volunteering and being surronded by Mother Nature !
I also love learning new languages and cultures, however I truly believe in UNITY, we all connected, the only things that change are the variety of the manifestations!

In Chile I volunteered for more than 6 years in animal groups and also the last years I taught English in a foundation.
In Brasil, I volunteered for 10 months in the middle of the forest; Tijuca Forest, which is just overwhelming, amazing !
I think helping and collaborating are quite important aspects in Life. Nowadays, we must work hard to really change our world to become a better place for all of us !
I have to say that I feel so grateful for all the things I have been experiencing these last years, and in my entir life, a quite moving one jaaja.
For all I mentioned before, I strongly believe that the Universe- God always helps me to open the doors to go through the "Path", so I can contribute, teach and learn from others by doing my best !
WE ARE ALL CONNECTED !
É isso aí!
SOMOS LO QUE NOS PERMITIMOS SER !
