42 workaways/18 countries/10 years!!
and counting....
Focusing on the blessings!
I strongly believe it all works out and all that happens/happened is/was a blessing:
The clear, obvious and the hidden blessings (in the long run turn out to be blessings, with time and perspective).
The places I've been and people I met were all meant to be.
I know my next workaway is meant to be.
I will try to keep it brief... 😆 Who am I kidding?
Primero, en ESPAÑOL
Tengo mucha energía positiva y quiero compartir mi alegría, mi experiencia, mis cuentos, y finalmente mi tiempo.
Compartir es cuidar, no?
Soy un person muy flexible y tengo tiempo ilimitado en momento. Últimamente quiero conocer las culturas, la gente y tambien quiero colectar experiencias, no cosas ni paises.
Puedo pasar mi tiempo hablar/platicar con los huéspedes sin dudas, cuando la vibra está buena, es natural. Sin dudas, contigo no tendrás preocupes, todos sería mejor, en manera profesional y con vibra positiva.
He estado con workaway desde 2013, y es única manera por viajar para mí, cuando es posible. siempre prefiero viajar así.
Todavia había estado en 42 lugares con workaway en 18 países.
Siempre quiero mejorar mi español y ya trabaje en muchas lugares solo con español.
Sin opciones, estudias más, yo sé.
-En Año 2019 y 2022/23 trabaje en México
-En Año 2021 había trabajado en Colombia, Brazil y Bolivia como voluntario con workaway y fue genial y memorable
Ya habia trabajando también en países como Mexico, España, Guatemala, Nicaragua, Columbia, Brazil, Bolivia, Portugal, Grecia, Estados Unidos, Canadá y mucho más. Siento suficiente comodo con la idioma Español, pero siempre quiero y intento mejorar mi nivel y había trabajado con Español en muchos lugares.
ENGLISH
My Workaway experiences have taken me to many countries, from South/Central America, to Mexico, East/West Europe, and even the Caucasus and Turkey!
I doubt you'll meet someone who has used Workaway exclusively and as long as I have.
A recap of sorts:
-2023 began in the U.S then to Ecuador where I volunteered in Quito
then I was back to Mexico for a 5th time, then to Turkey once again, after 20 years away.
3 workaways, with dogs, what else ?!
- In 2022 I was living on and running a farm and working with Dogs in Oregon, USA then a HUGE road trip was had all the way to Louisiana where I managed a bar and from there another HUGE road trip to Baja California where I volunteered again, and another HUGE :) road trip back to Oregon. 2022 was on the road 😜
- In 2021, I began the year in Columbia, then I managed to see Bolivia, Brazil and Peru before returning to Mexico for a 3rd time. I volunteered in 3 out of the 4 countries.
As mentioned above, I strongly believe that everything always works out.
You will hear me say the phrase "it could always be worse" more than once 😆(I even have it tattooed on my shin) and for a reason. I aim to always be grateful and positive and focus on the blessings and what I do have rather than what I don't.
According to my calculations, I've been on 42 Workaway jobs in 18 countries!!!!
Many more to come!
Workaway is really the ONLY way I travel and I have been very fortunate so far
and so....I've been with workaway since 2013 and will continue using it whenever and wherever possible!
I've been in over 70 countries so far though I've never sought to collect countries but experiences.
I travel slow, easy, getting to know a place and its people on a deeper level, and that is possible with workaway.
I bring around 15 years of Hospitality experience,
working and managing bars/pubs in various countries, also have worked with dogs for many years! Through Workaway, I've also volunteered at many hostels in many countries and contributed in a variety of ways (read on)...
If you're looking for personality, experience, energy, reliability, effort, leadership, team leading, as well as a team player, adaptability and of course good vibrations, you're on the right profile!
I work well on my own, or as part of a team, whatever you need!
I can literally talk and connect with anyone regardless of background or culture, you will usually find me chatting away at some corner of the world with the locals, camera or two at hand, trying to get that shot, or just listening to their stories!
I did say I will try to keep in brief....try is the operative word, as there's so much I would like to share lol 😂
In 2019, I was on a trip through Mexico, ONLY with workaway, and ended up in 6 different cities, working hostels and improving my Spanish. I began 2020 in Guatemala on workaway and ended up working in 2 places in Nicaragua when the world changed. I ended up staying there 7 months. I finished 2020 in Columbia, on 2 great workaway jobs!
I was living & working in Ireland for 2 years, managing, supervising and working in the Irish Bar/Pub scene in Central Dublin, as well as plenty of TV work on various shows and photography work in events.
You might have seen some of the shows I've been on...
Lived in England for 2 years, before that. Was a manager of a pub in central London as well as worked as a social worker/support worker for adults with criminal backgrounds (talk about a challenge) .
During my time in Europe, I have traveled to most countries and have spent close to 5 years in total in the continent. Even managed 3 months straight on couch surfing before I got fully onboard with workaway.
I am an extremely well traveled individual who has spent nearly 3 years abroad in Asia/Pacific. Taught English in China. Lived & worked in Australia, China, U.S, Canada, UK, Ireland, Nicaragua, as well as have briefly lived in India, Spain, NZ, Thailand & many more.
With Workaway, I have been able to stay longer in places and delve deeper into the culture and language and love the opportunity to get to know a new place on a deeper level.
Mature, & dependable. Am socially adept at blending into any environment
PHOTOGRAPHER in residence to many hostels I've volunteered for!

check out the work I've done for Hostels I have volunteered for (assignments tab).

EXPERIENCE with children, animal work, & plenty of Hospitality.
I have experience with Animal care. Dog training and caring. Worked at a pet lodge in the U.S for two winters as well as various animal shelters and also a memorable experience caring for Sled Dogs in freezing cold Canada (-30°!!)
workaway with Animals in Portugal, Canada, U.S, Mexico, Greece.
Volunteered at the Zoo once (Australian section. Was crazy fun!), plus, I worked once as a shepherd to more than 130 Goats/sheep in a remote farm.
Tai Chi & Yoga teaching.
A nomadic photographer...u can check out my work at www.nomadicfoxphoto.com
Or @travelgratefulfox on instagram
Published in travel magazines and online. Even had National Geographic select a couple of my pics..
My photos are also on Hostelworld/booking, as I snapped many photos for hostels I volunteered in. Self-published 4 photo books as well as hosted exhibitions.
Looking to learn new things, meet new people from all walks of life & have fun, and come away with memorable experiences! Been to ALL 7 wonders of the world!
What I really enjoy is Animal work, or Hostel work, 2 fields one could never have enough experience in, I believe. Also the chance for a language exchange, hospitality, tourism & travel-oriented work.
I always write down stuff, and once it's written down, I know it:P I have the leadership skills, the confidence and would always love to learn more. I often lived and traveled in countries where I had no other choice but to converse in the local language and loved the challenge.
Posses the leadership and problem solving skills . Confident I can contribute anywhere, and am sure you will agree as soon as you see me work. Am also a good driver, should you need that.
I believe in driving safe and not fast.
I barely drink alcohol,and don't smoke either, so you will NOT have to worry about me in that regard.
What I bring is character, personality, experience, leadership, reliability, dependability and trust!
I have already contributed to a few of my workaway jobs through my photography work, helping promote their businesses and to this day, they still use my images and are grateful for it, so if I can help you grow that way, I would be more than happy to help, as I carry my own gear (though should you have extra gear lying around, give it here:P)
My photos are displayed on their booking/hostelworld/own website
I did write I would be brief, right?? 😂😆
I tried.
thank you for having the patience to read through all that! May your life be filled with endless blessings.Interessengebiete
