Description
*** January 2026 - I am looking for a Workaway opportunity in the month of February 2026, ideally in Europe.
I'm a dual passport holder from the EU(France) and the US. I was born and raised in Los Angeles. looking to meet new people and seek out new adventures/experiences. I have taught tennis for 15 plus years along with a few other things.
Over the last two years, I have done a mix of Volunteer work(mostly within hospitality) along with travel within Latin America and Europe. I am always keeping my eyes open to positions within hospitality and to build community.
*2024- After 6 months in South/Latin America, I am keeping my eyes open for Workaway Paid opportunities in Europe starting for Spring, 2025 until early Fall, 2025 within the Hospitality field.
Here are a few experiences I've had in 2025:
1. Volunteered at a Language School in a small rural part of Colombia, helping kids with English.
2. Volunteered at a Hostel in Merida, Mexico
3. Volunteered at Coliving locations for remote workers in Oaxaca, Mexico & San Cristobal, Mexico.
4. Dec. 2024 to Feb. 2025) I am working/volunteering at a small hotel in Dominical, Costa Rica.
5. February 2025 I volunteered at a Capsule/Pod type hotel in Baja California, Mexico
6. From May to November of 2025, I was the Head Tennis Pro at a Hotel/Resort in Zakynthos, Greece.
I am an experienced traveler who has many years accommodating people. Love hosting and Tour guiding etc. Open to all sorts of creative opportunities as well along with house/pet sitting.
