Description
Hello! My name is Alonso and I'm from Austin, Texas, U.S.A. I'm passionate about human connection (and learning about the many different ways that humans can live their lives on our one planet), ultrarunning, learning/teaching languages, writing/journaling, reading, traveling, exploring spirituality, veganism, and trying to improve my (limited) ukulele skills. Even if I don't have experience with a particular activity, I will do my best to help out as much as possible! I am so grateful that Workaway exists and I greatly appreciate all of the wonderful people who are hosts! :)

Ho avuto la fortuna di vivere con Nicoletta e Salvatore a casa loro per un mese. Sono sicuramente due delle persone più gentili, divertenti e felici che abbia mai conosciuto. Sono dei padroni di casa eccellenti e grazie a loro ho potuto sentirmi a casa. Sempre mi hanno aiutato a trovare cose da fare, come tagliare la legna o dare da mangiare a gli… read more

I spent two weeks working with Richard and loved every second of it! He was an incredible host and taught me so much while also ensuring that I had a great experience. He is a very patient and knowledgeable teacher when it comes to working on projects.

Alonso is the perfect workawayer. I highly recommend him to any future hosts.

In his couple week's stay, Alonso was so much of a help around the property. He was always incredibly eager to learn and caught on quickly to every project we had. He was self-reliant and happy to explore on his own, but also enjoyed hanging out. He is open-minded,… read more
