Description
Hi.

I’m Carlos. I live in Athens, Greece, at the moment.

I have done many workaways and been part of many different working groups, collectives, communal houses, in many different countries. I have been involved mostly in projects concerning food security, veganism, communal living and migration.

Right now I am very interested in learning about woodworking and furniture making. So I am looking for projects around Europe that have wood workshops or do any kind of wood related activities. I have an active mind and love learning and when I get into something and go on for hours.

I have a broad range of interests and I'm passionate about playing the guitar and learning about music, reading and discussing with my book club, cooking with my friends and in different projects, hiking, gardening.. and always down engage with new ideas and learn new things. I have the interest in being able to communicate in Italian and also in German, as they are areas that I like a lot and want to connect deeper with.

More details about your skills
Cooking/cheffing: I have worked in some restaurants and been part of projects cooking for +1000 people. I have taken care of the whole organization behind getting the things done, planning menus, teaching and guiding groups of people to get the food done and distributed.

Organizational: I've been part of organizational teams in different projects and jobs, getting people on board, making schedules, adjust ways of working of different people, reflect on how we do things, if they align with the projects visions and purposes, etc.

Cleaning: I've done an insane amount of dishes in my life and deep clean kitchens and spaces in various projects.

General physical labor: I think I have a good amount of energy and I can push through physically demanding activities.

Meetings: The power to sit through endless meetings in collectives that some people find tedious, I actually quite enjoy it.

Woodworking: This is what I want to learn at the moment. I'm just taking a short course, so I don't have developed skills, but in this specific topic I guess I have the skill of being really enthusiastic about it and willing to put a lot of hours for it.

You are more than welcome anytime we wish you the best. And if you get a message from this guy, I recommend you to accept him, it will be so nice.

This was a great workaway experience and Brahim a ver good host. I spend 5 days there, sleeping in a mud hut with 3 other guys. We had plenty of space and it was very comfortable. You're in the middle of the desert, right next to some sandunes. There's no electricity of wifi but there's some café's in town that can help you with that. The job was… read more

Carlos is a wonderful,big hearted and hard working person.He's very helpful,friendly and nice.He quickly got on well with all the students who still ask about him.
The one month he stayed with us helping in our communication classes allowed him to learn a lot about Morocco and to gain our students' hearts.
We wish he had stayed longer cause he's… read more

I spent almost a month in the school in Berrechid and I have to say that it was a really good experience. Mr. Harim is such a great guy and has a very clear and powerful vision about his project that it's very inspiring.

Carlos was great to work with. He showed lots of interest and quickly got a deep understanding of the project. He’s smart, got lots of work done, and he’s cool which made working together fun. I’d highly recommend him to other hosts, and hope to work with him again when we’re ready for marketing in Chile.

Theo's place is well located, very comfortable and has all the basic needs covered. Bed, shower, kitchen all perfect. And just 5 minutes waling you have a lot of ancient Greece ruins and stuff like that if you're into that.

And Athens can be quite a nice city if you ask me, but for sure the thing that I'm going to remember about this trip is… read more

Carlos spent two weeks at our summer camp for kids and teens and was a creative, joyful and enthusiastic volunteer. He helped organize activities like a map-making workshop, was eager to join any sports activities and competitions and was also very motivated to chat with the campers which is really important for helping them improve their English.… read more

I had an awesome time in the camp! Most of the kids were great people and the staff was very nice as well specially Nikki who was really cool every time. The job is quite easy and really fun, some kids can be annoying but those are rare cases, mostly they pump you up with energy. The food was great and I spent most of my free time trying to get… read more
