Description

We are Gustavo (29) and Natalia (30), we are a couple looking for adventure, we are going on our first working holiday in Denmark and we are interested in volunteering to learn more about the culture and its customs and language. We define ourselves as adventurous people, committed, with the ability to work in a team and easy to learn and adapt to change. We love animals, outdoor activities, photography, music and new challenges.

Hello, my name is Gustavo Nahuelñir and I’m a Commercial Engineer. I am currently working as an administrator in a Chilean Hotel called Noi Puma Lodge, located in the Andes mountain range. I was the owner and co-founder of a small business in Rancagua City called Sublime SpA, dedicated to the sale and production of merchandising.

I lost my mother to cancer disease 7 years ago, this unfortunate event made me rethink many things about the meaning of life. And, as a result of this, I decided to leave my work to fulfill my dream of traveling, learning and perfecting another language, getting to know the world, and above all, learning from the experiences that life can provide me with.

An important achievement in my life was becoming independent and standing on my own. I have lived alone for 6 years, so I consider myself a person with a high sense of responsibility and commitment.

I love music, I like to play the bass, play with my pets, share with my friends, water my plants, meditate, go to the gym, do photography, playing paddle tennis and do outdoor walks.

My favorite phrase comes from the poem "No te rindas" written by the Uruguayan author Mario Benedetti, and it says: "Do not give up, because that's what life is, continue the journey, pursue your dreams, unblock the time, clear the debris and uncover the sky."

My name is Natalia Donoso, I graduated in hotel management at the university, and thanks to my studies I travel around Chile (and now around the world) working and learning as much as I can.

I have a dog named khaleesi, she is 7 years old, but she is my baby. My best childhood memories are at my aunt's house making bakery, and I try to do the same with my niece now that she is growing up to create her good memories. I created my own business from scratch selling Korean cosmetics in my city and now I sell to all of Chile.

I love cooking especially baking, reading, watching movies and series, playing board games, trekking, bouldering, handicrafts, spending time with my family, going for walks with my khaleesi, traveling and getting to know new places.

Among my skills, I am very organized, proactive, and a good problem solver, and I adapt to changes y and environments easily since I have had to change cities by myself and live with different people.

There is a phrase that I try to apply in my daily life "When given the choice between being right or being kind choose kind" Just saying hello or something positive to a person whether known or not can change their day and knowing that this grain of sand can grow motivates me to continue doing these small gestures.
