Description
Passionate about exploring the world and connecting with diverse cultures, I’ve spent the last 15 years adventuring across 17+ countries. From co-owning an English school in Japan to acting in films, creating dynamic drone videos, and managing hostels in Colombia, I’ve embraced every opportunity to engage with local communities. My greatest joy? Seeing genuine smiles on the faces of people from all walks of life, knowing I’ve made a positive impact, however small. Ready to bring my enthusiasm, creativity, and hands-on experience to new adventures with Workaway!

More details about your skills
I am fortunate to have a wide range of real-life situational experiences. From co-owning an English school in Japan to acting in films, creating dynamic drone videos, and managing hostels in Colombia, I am very savvy as I am what they describe as a Digital Nomad.
Although I only use LinkedIn I have created Websites and social media content.
What else ...
In my free time, I love to stay active and engaged. Whether it's the thrill of casting a line while fishing, the competitive spirit of a tennis match, or the strategic fun of board games, I'm all in. I’m also dedicated to physical fitness, incorporating some yoga into my routine, and I make time for plenty of meditation to keep my mind centered and focused.

Enjoyed my stay with Krystal who is a pleasant soul with an ultra kind heart. She has done an admirable job of being both independent and outgoing. You must ask her to take you to Wendy's house for drumming activities. Her house is beautiful in the mountains of jaco as well.
Would love to visit in the future 🙏

What was meant to be a one-week stay quickly turned into nearly five unforgettable weeks at Thomas’s remarkable farm in the heart of Guanacaste. From the moment I arrived, it was clear this wasn’t just any Workaway—it was a genuine immersion into sustainable living, hard but rewarding work, and rich human connection.

The initial tasks were fairly… read more

Thank you, Willie, for your time at Tumbo and for the dedication you showed to my son. He still asks about you and wishes you could be his teacher again. During your time together, his English improved impressively—and he even learned to ride his bike! He truly loved having a friend and teacher by his side on his jungle adventures.

You are a kind… read more

An Unforgettable Experience at this Resort in the Heart of the Osa Peninsula

I arrived late so had to take an Uber but when I met Roberto and his wife I immediately felt at home. They have a newborn so maybe she takes up much of their time while managing a pretty big spread.
These folks are amazing and I couldn't believe how much they treated me like family. The work was not easy but the day gos by fast and because they… read more
