My next destination:
Greece View allDescription
Hi, name is Declan Ralson, I'm from the United States and I'm 23! I graduated college in May and decided to work a ski season in France afterwards and then a summer season in Greece, which I'm still currently doing. I fell in love with it, and studying abroad in Rome was my favorite college experience, so I decided I wanted to keep travelling and working overseas.
I studied anthropology and history, so I really love learning about the culture and past of the places I visit. In addition to that, I'm a very social person so I really enjoy the company the others, and I'm always down for anything in the outdoors. I want to be immersed wherever I go.
I am a go-getter and I'm always willing to lend a helping hand to get the job done. I'm new to workaways, but I'm excited for all the possibilities!Interests

English: Fluent
French: BeginnerMore details about my language interests
I studied French for about 7 years in school, but I haven't spoken it regularly for a couple years now. As a result, it is pretty rusty, especially my listening comprehension. I'd love to be able to get better at that. I also think it would be cool to teach English.Skills and knowledge I'd like to share or learn

Helping around the houseHospitality/TourismMore details about your skills
I've spent this winter cleaning and housekeeping chalets and apartments with some minor hosting roles. This summer, I have also continued doing housekeeping, but I have also helped out with dishwashing, car washing, and windsurfing board repairs. In addition to that, I've done multiple customer-focused jobs, like retail and sales, so interacting with clients and new people feels very relaxed and natural to me. I've volunteered a lot before, especially at food banks and feeding the homeless because I enjoy being able to give back. I'm a native English speaker, and I speak French at a beginner level. In my personal life, I'm the oldest sibling, so I have taken care of our pets, looked after my younger siblings, helped out in my mother's garden, and done minor upkeep around the house. I'm always keen to learn a new skill too.

I needed garden work but my weed quacker did not work so he had to do manual cleaning of the garden area.
I don’t think he was too enthused with weeding. He did what I asked but did not find work to do on his own.
