    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    "I have a passion for traveling and immersing myself in different cultures. While I'm new to Workaway, I've been using other platforms since 2011 to connect with people from around the globe. I find it fascinating to meet individuals from diverse backgrounds and spend time learning from each other's cultures. If you're interested in learning Spanish, I'd be delighted to teach you!"

    Enjoying the company of dogs and being willing to assist with household tasks are essential. Volunteers are welcome for stays of a week or less, but longer commitments of a month or more are preferred."

    Pereira: ASAP
    "I'm searching for someone skilled in drill usage, furniture assembly, if Is possible with carpentry and basic electrical and plumbing knowledge.

    Bogota: May 19
    "I need someone available for a week starting May 19 to help paint various areas of my apartment. Knowledge of electricity would be helpful. Volunteers can stay for less than a week; they can work for two days and take a day off if preferred."

    Pereira: June
    "I'm looking for a volunteer for the month of June, with a minimum stay of 15 days. It's essential that the volunteer can be in Pereira between June 8th and June 20th. Responsibilities include walking the dog three times a day and occasionally assisting with accommodating guests in my spacious apartment."

    Pereira: September and October
    "I'm in need of a volunteer who can commit to staying for a month and a half to two months, preferably starting in the first few days of September. However, the latest arrival date should be September 10th. During this period, I'm looking for someone with a special connection to dogs, who enjoys spending time with them as their main task, along with taking care of housekeeping duties at home and being in charge of the accommodation business."

    In general, I'm looking for a volunteer who loves dogs and is willing to take care of mine and my place. I'm also interested in someone knowledgeable about agriculture or permaculture, with skills in building wooden houses. If you can repair an old Land Rover (Santana 76"), that's a plus. I'm also keen on learning Italian, French, Portuguese, and improving my English.

    Any experience with architecture, mechanics, agriculture, or nature reserves would be highly valued.

    Looking forward to meeting and working with you!
