More details about your skills

I went to college/university for 6 years and studied Cooking, Recreation, Sociology, and Kinesiology.

I have worked with children of all ages in summer camps, after school/recreation programs, and emergency shelters. I have worked coordinating sports teams at a college as well as coordinating summer camps in a town. I have played many different sports at high levels and have knowledge of coaching, training, and physical health and well-being. I also have some work experience in the tourism/customer service industry.

I love animals and have experience caring for dogs, cats, rabbits, and cattle (and other farm animals)

I have a lot of experience, and am quite happy, doing physical jobs outside including, but not limited to, mowing lawns/strimming, chopping wood, weeding, pruning, digging, and raking.

I am open to lots of new jobs and experiences. I love to learn new skills and I think I am a relatively quick learner; always up for a challenge!

My two weeks in Lobitos were absolutely amazing. The town is lovely, the weather is perfect, and the surfing is great almost every single day. Loana and her family were very welcoming, and appreciative of all of the volunteers.

I had the absolute pleasure of working on this farm for a couple of weeks and everything about it was amazing. Everything from milking the cows, to feeding the calves, to cleaning the parlour was a lot of fun. All of the animals are great, and it was very cool to be a part of such a well run dairy farm.
The family took me everywhere with them; the … read more

I had such a wonderful week spending time with this family! They made me feel very at home from the moment I arrived. Their farm is beautiful and I had a lot of fun chopping wood, and seeing all of the animals. One day Ingo took me to visit his school and I got to spend the day talking to the students and sitting in on their English classes. They … read more

The week with gabe was busy, moving and full of beautiful shared experiences. a warmhearted young man. Once he chops wood, he can not be stopped until the last block has fallen. Thank you for your hard-working help and your pleasant and interesting society. Have a nice trip. See you.

My experience with Bridget and her family was wonderful! They live in a huge, lovely house, in a very pretty village next to a lake. I stayed with them for two weeks and it was quite an experience. The kids are all so unique and each has their own gifts, talents, and interests. They really made me feel like part of the family and I got to do a … read more

Working at this hostel, even for a short time, was an absolutely amazing experience! Every time new people would check in it was like immediately gaining new best friends. I had the opportunity to learn about and see the city, and also experience the nightlife with the guests.
Anna is THE BEST and it was so much fun working with her.

Carole and Richard are two of the kindest, most genuine, accommodating people I have ever met. They agreed to host myself and 2 of my friends on short notice for 5 days. They picked us up at the train station, let us stay in their caravan and stocked it with snacks, fed us wonderful meals, and were extremely welcoming.
The farm is in a great … read more
