ABOUT ME
I’m 31, easygoing and practical. I’m a carpenter and hands-on builder who enjoys working with wood, construction, maintenance and DIY projects.

I also have many years of experience in service (restaurants and catering), so I’m very comfortable working in hostels and guesthouses — with guests, daily tasks and keeping things running smoothly.

While traveling through Latin America, I’m looking for simple, honest exchanges for a few weeks — carpentry, maintenance, hostel work, or helping on farms and eco-projects.

Construction, repairs & maintenance

Anton is a friendly and attentive volunteer, and we are very happy to have hosted him for three weeks.

He carried out his tasks at the hotel, including reception and cleaning, with great responsibility and care. He also helped us repair bunk beds and shelves in the volunteer room, as he is a skilled carpenter, which was a great added value for … read more

We got along straight away with Anton and Babushka, they are a really nice couple!
Super helpful in the chacra and good guests at home. We had a lot of fun together, played cards and cooking.
Anton is also a good carpenter, he made us a useful tofu press!
We recommend them both and they are welcome any time they decide to come back to visit!

I stayed with Almendra and her son Munay for about a month, even though I originally planned only two weeks, and that already says a lot about the experience.

From the start, I felt very welcome. Almendra is open-minded, warm, easygoing, and speaks excellent English, which made everything very smooth. We connected quickly and naturally, and it … read more
