Just a guy from Australia who is passionate about people, travel, language learning, sports, laughter, filmmaking and crazy adventures.
Description
Hello! My name is Daniel Casadio, how are you? :)
I'm a 22 year old Australian guy, who has had the heart for travel and adventure ever since I was 10 years old, when I lived in Italy for two years. Ever since I graduated high school I've either worked with disabilities, youth work and other high needs clients.
OR, I have been travelling/volunteering throughout the world. I have done roughly 23 or so months of solo travel throughout the world and have done 15 different Workaways.
I have done Workaways in permaculture farming, helping with kids, laboring construction work, social work in a community, teaching English at schools & creating films for different projects.
I love this way of travel because I get to really be with the locals and actually learn about the country I live in. Learn how you cook, how you speak your language and any other advice! I would love to hear your story. :)

I love to create films/vlogs and upload them to my YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/DanielCasadio

I love to play sports, my favourites are tennis, basketball and football (soccer); I also love watching the professionals play.
I very much am an open book, if you have any questions, please ask; I'll happily answer.
I look forward to meeting you :)

Because of people like Dani is why i keep saying i love workaway so much! He raised the energy of the places he's around, always with a smile on his face and a very commited worker. He helped us around with the hostel tasks, painted a wood shelf and shared waves with the rest of the family. Blessed to have him around! Already miss you. Lots of love

I really enjoyed my time here in this beautiful wood carving village near Chiang Mai!
Us volunteers worked 3h a day, 6 days a week. From teaching English to students enrolled in the program, visiting and teaching English in nearby schools and cleaning around the community.
Sometimes things weren't always communicated properly, but it was fun and… read more

I had an incredible month here helping out in their hotel. The work was quite relaxed, it was mainly office work and helping out with the customers that were checking in and out. I was very grateful that I had the privilege to make them a little movie to promote their NGO they have running in the country side of Guatemala.

I loved being here,… read more

Such a fun, awesome, easy going and genuine guy Zac is! We had an absolute blast getting to know Zac and helping him on the house. The nights were fun and cosy as we sat next to the fire and had some fun conversations. Where Zac lives is so close to the National Glacier Park and the Park is just incredible. SO many different hikes, awesome views… read more

While Drew and Daniel spent nearly three weeks living with our family, they never said “no” to any task. Even when digging ditches for irrigation line, cleaning out and painting a dusty chicken coop, and hauling compost and dirt, they worked cheerfully. The jobs they took on were the outdoor jobs that would have been difficult for us to get done… read more

Daniel is such a social guy, he was so much fun to have on our little farm! Always a smiling face and great (often lengthy!) conversations. He is the kind of person to "make your day". He was happy with all kinds of food, not picky. He was very flexible, willing to try all kinds of work. Daniel is not auditory when it comes to learning, so if you… read more

The community was amazing and the people are beautiful. BUT..
If you are going to this place expect this:
Limited power/wifi.
You HAVE to buy some school resources.
Although you pay $5 USD - you still need to provide your own lunch.
You will be volunteering 33 hours a week.
Wherever you want to go or buy, you will have to pay for… read more
