Description

UPDATE 2024:

Ciao! I'll be visiting ITALY in APRIL and onwards. If you need a workawayer, please consider me! See my profile below :)

I'm Filipino-Canadian. Fluent in both English and Filipino (Tagalog) and pre-intermediate level in Spanish. I have more than 5 years experience in hospitality and more than 10 years in sales & marketing combined. I have a Canadian driver's license but I'm not sure if I can use it while visiting Italy. I'm a nurse by profession but decided to work in hospitality because I love meeting people and learning from them. There's never a boring day! I love it.

I've been living a nomadic life for 7 years now and no plans of stopping. It all started with a one-way ticket to Bali in 2017 :)

In 2023 I finished a 6-month Latin America trip mainly to learn Spanish. While traveling Latin America I did work exchanges in beach hostels and beach resorts.

Aside from my professional experience in sales & marketing, social media, and hospitality. Here are a few more i did during my recent travels.

My skills and experience:
1. SOCIAL MEDIA MARKETING, Booking.com, Expedia - I have experience managing business social media accounts. I can help streamline your social media platforms to make it more professional looking and more effective in terms of online promotion. I also have experience managing properties on BOOKING.COM and EXPEDIA.

2.. BASIC SPANISH TRANSLATOR: I can speak, understand, read and write pre-intermediate Spanish.

3. TOUR GUIDE: I've done beach tours and have some creative ideas based on my experience working at beach resort/hostels

4. SOCIAL ACTIVITIES FACILITATOR: When I did a workaway at a Beach hostel in Panama i was in charge of social activities for guests. I usually do a weekly schedule of activities involving Movie nights, beach games, beach tours, beach cleanup, trivia night, etc. To name a few. Aside from creating and facilitating activities for guests, of course I had to constantly have daily casual social interactions with them to make sure they have a memorable time while there at the resort.

5: RECEPTIONIST: I worked in hostels,hotels and resorts in Canada and overseas.

6. BUILD FIRE: Because I'm Canadian

7. KITCHEN STAFF: I worked in restaurants. I'm not a professional cook but I love cooking. Because I'm Filipino


I believe the true essence of this platform is for Exchange of experiences. At the end of the exchange I hope you and I get some positive lifelong takeway from the experience. If you think this resonates to you, I hope you can consider me as one of your workawayers! I assure you I will not let you down! And most probably share some Filipino dishes with you as well, if you're keen!☺️
