Description
Hey! I'm Allan from Canada. I've been in Colombia since August 2025 and am currently based in Medellín.
Over the past five months, I've volunteered at a few hostels in the Eje Cafetero region (through other platforms), handling reception, overnight shifts, check-ins/check-outs, basic maintenance, keeping common areas clean, and jumping in wherever needed. I enjoy the work, there's something satisfying about helping hostels, meeting people, and having great vibes .
I also do web design remotely, so I usually end up being unofficial tech support such as websites, social media, that kind of thing. I enjoy the work. There's something satisfying about helping hostels run smoothly, meeting people, and being part of that good hostel energy.
Outside of work, I like staying active by hiking, working out, sports, martial arts. I'm pretty social and enjoy connecting with other travelers and locals alike.

More details about your skills
I’m a hands-on person with a mix of skills. I’ve worked professionally in web design and tech, so I can help with websites, online tasks, or basic digital setup. I’m also a fitness coach with a background in martial arts, and I enjoy leading workouts, staying active, and helping others get stronger.
Beyond that, I’m comfortable with manual labor, cleaning, organizing spaces, helping with guests, and basic security roles if needed. I’m quick to learn, work well under pressure, and don’t mind getting my hands dirty when something needs to get done.

What else ...
I love being in nature whether it’s: hiking, canoeing, kayaking, or just going for walks to reset. I enjoy cooking simple meals, eating good food, and living in a clean, peaceful environment. I’ve been training in martial arts for years and teach boxing and kickboxing to others. I’m always up for exploring new places, meeting new people, and learning from different ways of life. I also enjoy reading, journaling, and staying grounded with a simple routine.
