Description
English:
I'm currently a student at the University of Michigan on summer break. I'm looking to spend my time traveling and experiencing Latin American culture...perhaps learning to salsa!

I love being outdoors (hiking, biking, backpacking), listening to music, reading, rock climbing, playing board games, and cooking.

I'm a hard worker, and have also previously WWOOFed in Puerto Rico on a farm. I'm a quick learner, and will work to accomplish whatever tasks you need from me. I'm fluent in English. I am very good at Spanish, but I do find colloquial conversation and grammar difficult, and would love to have a language exchange to help me improve!

I'm most interested in spending my summer with people who are open to teaching me new things and exposing me to new points of view. I'm looking forward to the experience and learning more about Colombia!

Español:
Soy estudiante en la Universidad de Michigan tomando las vacaciones de verano. Estoy buscando pasar mi tiempo viajando y experimentando la cultura latinoamericana... ¡tal vez aprendiendo salsa!

Me encanta estar al aire libre (caminar, andar en bicicleta, viajar con mochila), escuchar música, leer, escalar rocas, jugar juegos de mesa y cocinar.

Soy un gran trabajador y anteriormente también hice WWOOF en Puerto Rico en una granja. Aprendo rápido y trabajaré para realizar cualquier trabajo que necesites de mí. Hablo inglés con fluidez. Soy bueno en español, pero encuentro difícil la conversación coloquial y la gramática, ¡y me encantaría tener un intercambio de idiomas que me ayude a mejorar!

Lo que más me interesa es pasar el verano con personas que estén abiertas a enseñarme cosas nuevas y exponerme a nuevos puntos de vista. ¡Estoy deseando vivir la experiencia y aprender más sobre Colombia!

English:
I have done a large amount of manual labor including gardening, landscaping, cleaning, and field work.

I have spent a significant amount of time outdoors. I bike almost every day. I also recently hiked the Camino de Santiago in Spain. I also worked as a restaurant manager on Big Sky Resort in Montana.

I have spent significant time on an organic farm through the WWOOF program, and have experience with crop maintenance and the use of various hand tools. I studied Environmental Science as an undergraduate, so I am very familiar with ecology and the natural world. I have never worked as a teacher, but I have done some tutoring, and I would be interested in gaining more experience in this area.

In general, I am a hard worker and a quick learner, so I believe I could accomplish most tasks if given some guidance.

He pasado mucho tiempo en una granja orgánica a través del programa WWOOF y tengo experiencia en el mantenimiento de cultivos y el uso de diversas herramientas manuales. Estudié Ciencias Ambientales como estudiante universitario, por lo que estoy muy familiarizado con la ecología y el mundo natural. Nunca he trabajado como docente, pero he realizado algunas tutorías y me interesaría adquirir más experiencia en esta área.

En general, soy un gran trabajador y aprendo rápido, por lo que creo que podría realizar la mayoría de las tareas si me dieran alguna orientación.

Laissé par le workawayer (Keegan) pour l'hôte (Join us at our forest grove ...)

I came to Zeuss on very short notice (two days) and then proceeded to stay the entire summer (7 weeks). I stuck around for so long because living with Zeuss is an incredibly fun experience.

Working with Zeuss I learned a ton of valuable life skills, from carpentry to boat knots to the secret to a perfect waffle. Zeuss is a wealth of knowledge -… read more a man of a thousand skills, many of them self taught. I only wish I could have stuck around a few more weeks to learn from him the process of log milling and tiny home construction.

The work we did was often very physical. and, as a result, very rewarding; however, there were also a decent number of chill days where we just cleaned up around the property or worked on one of the million projects Zeuss has going at any given moment. I found Zeuss to be very flexible with scheduling, and if I told him that I needed a break or wanted to do a certain job on a given day he was always very accommodating.

The accommodations are comfortable, and you will have access to heat and electricity. In addition, Zeuss is an excellent cook, and he proves his skills in the kitchen at least once a day (but usually multiple times a day). I mostly contributed to the food situation by cleaning up the dishes from his masterpieces (first with my fork and then in the sink).

I found that Zeuss took the Workaway experience seriously, and he went out of his ways to show me things I would be interested in. Furthermore, if I expressed interest in doing something, he found a way to make it happen.

Over the summer we went to numerous parties and concerts (probably 1 a week on average). The community is incredible and everyone I met was exceedingly kind. There is also a high concentration of Workaway hosts on the island, and through them I was able to meet and befriend a number of other travelers.

Galiano is a great place for music, and I got the chance to jam with/learn from several incredibly talented musicians on the island. Zeuss has tons of cool instruments, and he displayed amazing patience by tolerating seven weeks of listening to me strumming and hollering on his porch. We also started a sea shanty band, although we're still working on getting a consistent practice schedule.

In our free time, we often explored Galiano's beautiful woods, played games, visited friends and planned dive trips. I went on seven dives with Zeuss while I was on Galiano, and, if you're a certified diver, I think you MUST try to stay with Zeuss. He is an excellent dive partner and got me quickly initiated into cold water diving. He is also a skilled marine biologist/photographer with a deep knowledge of the sea life around the islands. In our seven dives he found the elusive Great Pacific Octopi on three separate occasions.

Overall, Workaway with Zeuss is pretty amazing. He is a caring, passionate, hilarious person, and I feel fortunate to call myself among his friends. If you're looking for a place to learn and laugh, this is it.
