Travel information

Description

Hello! My name is Bernardo Galbero but you can call me Bernie. I am Brazilian, but I've lived in various different countries growing up. Spanning Brazil, Switzerland, Colombia and currently Mexico, these international experiences have turned me into a culturally diversified person. I am looking to explore various beautiful sceneries after attending university in the Netherlands. I have worked in a hostel before in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, and am currently pursuing a career in sports event management. I love sports: including football, baseball, basketball, racing, MMA, and bouldering. I love the outdoors and trying different foods from different places. I hope to explore the culinary world in the places I end up volunteering in.

I love Mexican culture, but don't want my perspectives to end there. Attending an international school and being fortunate enough to travel the world has made me very open-minded and I love to immerse myself in different cultures and appreciate the intricate and unique ways-of-life that define each one.

I am spontaneous, adventurous and outdoorsy, and have a great appreciation for animals and nature. Both the countries I am from and currently live in have a great balance between urban and beach settings, so I find comfort in both.

More details about your skills

I am a very organized person, and I believe this helps me complete tasks efficiently and to a high standard. I am a critical thinker, and I love to engage in conversation about random topics- there's always something to learn, and I believe I am a quick-learner. I am good at sorting and planning things, as well as diligent in seeing my work get done. As mentioned before, I worked at a tea shop, and I think this experience gave me a lot of transferrable skills. For example, cleaning, making multiple things in a certain way by following instructions, improvisation, and customer service. The most important thing I take away from this experience though, was the compassion and empathy its instilled in me as a person. I am also quite athletic so am able to undertake physical tasks.

What else ...

I love doing any sort of physical activity, except going for runs. I am into walking, cycling, playing some casual team sports, climbing, swimming and driving. I love driving. It could be driving anything.
I am also a massive fan of board games. My competitive spirit flares up a bit when playing them, but not in an obnoxious way. I think it makes them more fun. I can't name many board games, but I'll play any. And I play a lot of solitaire on my phone. I also love card games, whether that's poker or other games that don't necessarily involve gambling.
I also am very passionate for food and music. As a Brazilian and a Latino at heart, these two things go together so well but also separately they are two beautiful worlds to dive into and enjoy the most out of. I am a huge fan of reggaeton and British grime, and my favorite cuisines are Mexican and Japanese, but I love home-cooked meals too.
