How Silvia came to Nine …

Hi! I'm Silvia. I am from Tenerife and I am part of the Nine team since September 2020. The pandemic helped me to realise that I needed a change of job, something that connects more with my values and fulfils me. After some talks with Anne, we made it happen! I met her back in 2018, when she arrived on the island and adopted Lara.

I had, by then, my dog Lola (now I have 3 dogs - yes, I am this kind of person) and that's how I met Anne and the project of Nine. I came to the house many times before joining the team, and never, during those dates and walks with the dogs, I imagined that I would end up being part of Nine. Now, I am one of the hosts and the house manager. I am mostly in charge of finances, guests, and the daily running of the house.

I have a cool job where I can join yoga classes, chatting with new people, try out good food, a mix of activities... taking care of the finances became fun here as I can combine it with other tasks to make it more easy going. I love to be with dogs, surrounded by nature and nice people.

For me a perfect day means sun, to swim in a natural beach, having my dogs and my relatives close by. At Nine I got a job where I feel fulfilled and happy and that allows me to live in the place I chose to live since the island simply makes me happy and alive.
