Description
I am now at the end of my two year break from education and looking forward to moving to the Netherlands this summer (if things calm down) to start university in September. Although I have lived in the UK all my life, my family are from Chile, Germany and Denmark. Hearing their stories about growing up in different cultures has definitely influenced my desire to travel and given me a better understanding of the world. At 19 I am fortunate enough to have travelled to 35 countries including Bolivia, Malawi, Peru, South Korea, Sri Lanka and Tanzania. I love learning new skills whilst travelling and am keen to settle down this summer and find some new hobbies. I am a proactive, open-minded, hard working person who is easy to get along with and am grateful for any opportunities. I also have my camera/Photoshop if you need any pictures but no whizz-kid at it:)

Pot washer at busy urban restaurant - Sorting deliveries and washing dishes.
F&B assistant/Night porter at a 4-star hotel - waitering, hosting customers for breakfast, setting up functions, bar work, housekeeping, reception and security duties. Bar work did not include cocktails or barista work.
Catering assistant at Christmas market stall - physically demanding, had long hours and often very busy. As a catering assistant I was serving customers, cooking food and helping with deliveries.

Mister Callum, dear friend! Where do I start? Such an incredible human being. Don't be mistaken by his (on paper) relatively young age. This man is so super responsible and such a hard worker with a heart for your project and for everyone involved in it. He did his work so thoroughly, with so much energy and preciseness. If something had to be… read more

Thanks so much for the past oktoberfests! Jelle, Sasha and managers work sooooo hard to make sure everyone has a great time!

If you just want to party and get free… read more

Sorry this is super late but I cannot recommend this workaway enough. It is a great way to experience Korea whilst staying in a super cool apartment next to the train station. Eric and team are super cool and work is easy and fun. Unfortunately I had to leave early cause corona paid a nice big visit to the city. If it wasn't for this I would of… read more

Super late writing this review but the 10 days on the farm were the best days of my trip and this is once in a life time experience. I didn't realise how much I loved being there until I left. The bus journey is the most adventurous you'll ever have but is 100% worth it. You and the other workers will be the only 'tourists' in the village which… read more

There's a reason why this hostel is one of the best rated in Puerto Varas. The people, the building and the relaxed environment make this place such a good workaway. From having a garden with veg'n'fruit to the manager (Nico). Nico is such a nice person who in no way feels like a manager, more like another volenteer. He is an awesome chef, puts… read more
