  Description

  Hello my name is Omar, I'm a young mexican artist and entrepreneur.
  I have spent the last 14 years of my life learning about music, filmmaking and social media. Now I’m a popular local singer who leads a Youtube channel with 70,000+ subscribers.
  
  I have been a Workaway host since 2020, looking for positive open-minded volunteers to have a cultural exchange, so we can have great experiences, create good memories, and become friends.
  
  Veracruz is a medium-level touristic city (mostly mexican tourists), focused on sea-tourism and seafood, so if you love beaches and sunny days, you will love it! (Even at winter, the weather is sunny).
  There's plenty of nice places that you will love.
  
  Some curiosities about Veracruz:
  -The city where the song “La Bamba” was composed.
  -First port in continental America and the most important commercial sea port in Mexico.
  -The biggest mountain in Latin America “El Pico de Orizaba”
  -Salma Hayek was born in Coatzacoalcos, Veracruz.
  -Latin America’s first fire department.
  -Favorite mexican city of Weezer’s band frontman Rivers Cuomo.
  
  Some movie scenes filmed at Veracruz:
  - Apocalypto (Mel Gibson)
  - Clear and Present Danger (Phillip Noyce - Harrison Ford - Willem Dafoe)
  - Romeo + Juliet (Baz Luhrmann - Leonardo DiCaprio - Claire Danes)
  - Collateral Damage (Andrew Davis - Arnold Schwarzenegger)
  - Romancing the stone (Robert Zemeckis)
  - Narcos (Netflix)
  - Atrapen al gringo (Mel Gibson)
  
  If you want to, I can become your guide (optional).
  I can introduce you to the locals, explain you our culture, show you the nearby markets, natural parks, the beaches with colorful fish, traditional sites and more!

  Help

  - Appearing in a music video.
  
  I'm looking for a volunteer to act in one of my music videos. (This is an easy task, but requires confidence to appear in front of the camera).
  You don't require experience, as the director will guide you step by step :)
  
  **In order to both have good communication, you must have a good english level.
  
  If you are a german native speaker, teaching your language will be a good option! And if you also speak spanish I'll be happy to teach you new words and help you practice it! :)
