Description

For more than four years, since August 2019, I have, lived, volunteered, and provided pro-bono help to people in Hawaii, Mexico, Germany, Luxembourg, Greece, Croatia, and Belgium.

Activities include:

1.) Advising people on how to restore biodiversity on their land (from humble vegetable gardens to large scale private and commercial properties), while also frequently providing, carpentry, repairs, animal care, cooking, house-sitting, gardening, tree pruning. 

2.) Guiding boutique hotels and Airbnb hosts towards sustainability and improved eco-savvy messaging. 

3.) Coaching independent business people ... in person ... (real estate, physical therapists, wellness retreats) ... and remotely ... (adventure travel in India, documentary making in Germany, water purification in Arizona).

4.) Taught public speaking workshops and acting classes.

About half of my projects have been through Workaway and about half have been through friends and word-of-mouth.

I have also helped with professional-level writing for resume, personal statements, marketing.

I also can support interior design projects with photography and decorative painting.

I am in perfect health, physically strong, and very friendly and respectful.

I speak fluent Spanish, French, Italian, and of course, English.

Up until summer 2019, my whole adult life was spent working in New York City and Paris, France. 

I travel with my 'guardian angel' dog, an adorable 7-kilo beagle-King Charlesmix named Fila who is unbelievably friendly and well-behaved.

Before entering this world-traveling odyssey, my professional life included high level hotels like the Ritz Carlton, lots of adventurers in the performing arts, career counseling, and even advising people in alternative/natural health.

I am financially independent, and have great references and am currently living in San Miguel de Allende, Mexico (winter 2024).

Durante más de cuatro años, desde agosto de 2019, he vivido, ofrecido voluntariado y brindado ayuda pro bono a personas en Hawái, México, Alemania, Luxemburgo, Grecia, Croacia y Bélgica.

Mis actividades incluyen:

1. Asesorar a las personas sobre cómo restaurar la biodiversidad en sus tierras, desde modestos huertos hasta propiedades privadas y comerciales a gran escala, mientras proporciono con frecuencia carpintería, reparaciones, cuidado de animales, cocina, cuidado de casas, jardinería y poda de árboles.

2. Orientar a hoteles boutique y anfitriones de Airbnb hacia la sostenibilidad y mejorar sus mensajes ecoconscientes.

3. Brindar asesoramiento a empresarios independientes, tanto en persona (bienes raíces, fisioterapeutas, retiros de bienestar) como de forma remota (viajes de aventura en India, realización de documentales en Alemania, purificación de agua en Arizona).

4. Impartir talleres de oratoria y clases de actuación.

Aproximadamente la mitad de mis proyectos han sido a través de Workaway y la otra mitad a través de amigos y recomendaciones.

También he colaborado en la redacción a nivel profesional de currículos, declaraciones personales y material de marketing.

Además, puedo respaldar proyectos de diseño de interiores con fotografía y pintura decorativa.

Gozo de excelente salud, soy físicamente fuerte y muy amigable y respetuoso.

Hablo español, francés, italiano y, por supuesto, inglés con fluidez.

Hasta el verano de 2019, toda mi vida adulta la pasé trabajando en la ciudad de Nueva York y París, Francia.

Viajo con mi perro 'ángel guardián', una adorable mezcla de beagle y King Charles llamada Fila, que es increíblemente amigable y bien educada.

Antes de embarcarme en esta odisea de viajes por el mundo, mi vida profesional incluía trabajar en hoteles de alto nivel como el Ritz Carlton, colaborar con artistas escénicos, asesorar en orientación profesional e incluso brindar asesoramiento en salud alternativa/natural.

Soy financieramente independiente, tengo excelentes referencias y actualmente resido en San Miguel de Allende, México.
