Description

Hi! I'm Diego, a 23 years old half spanish half belgian lad :)

A few years ago, I decided to leave my life in Madrid and see what was out there. I moved to Ireland when I was 18, in April 2021, I spent around 6 months doing Workaway.
After that, I stayed in Ireland for almost another year and a half, working around the country in diferent farms, while studying an agronomy spanish degree (online). I then moved on and also spent some time working in Germany and Sweden. (Warehouse and kitchen chef).

Since then, I've taken a completely different direction professionally. I moved to France and studied brewing, where I got my brewing qualification. For the last two years, I've been working in a brewery, both on the production side and in the brewery's bar.

I actually miss Ireland, so that's probably the main reason I'm back with workaway :)

Personally, I´m an easy-going person, I love communication and good vibes. I consider myself responsible, and positive. I love sports, animals, and learning new things. I speak native Spanish and French, and I'm perfectly fluent in English.

If I'm still using Workaway, it's because of the number of good experiences I had. I've learned so many things and skills, connected with so many people, and discovered lots of amazing places.

Thank you Diego for such a relaxed and enjoyable time together 🙏🙏🙏

Can't really explain how comfortable and happy I could feel in Margaret's.
House is just amazing, landscape around is magical when a bit of sun comes out :), and the food is just incredible. We used to eat together every meal, which was great. We could learn so much about her and her stories. So if you are looking for a cultural exchange, you … read more

I spent more than a month in Alli's and Colin's farm and it was wonderful. I learned a lot and worked very comfortable. I got the opportunity to sail, learn about plants, animals and some building. They are very kind and generous with you. I really appreciate all you did for me. Rob and Caroline were fantastic too. Thanks a million.
Diego
