Description

It's simple:
I want to invest my time in a great cause, I want to work, I want to develop new skills, I want to learn, i want to practice spanish, i want to meet people and i want to make the best out of this wonderful life that has been given to us!

This is what brought me to Work Away: my desire to improve myself and explore different cultures while giving back to the community!

I am a social worker: Helping others has always been in my nature. I am understanding and really optimistic.

I've been using Work Away to travel for a total of 7 months now, mostly in latin america: ya puedo decir que tengo un buen nivel de espanol!

Help me realise MY GOAL to improve myself and i will help you towards YOUR GOALS!
