Description

Hello! I’m a friendly, positive and adventurous traveler currently exploring Argentina and Chile as part of a longer journey through Central and South America. I’m travelling south to north with no strict timeline, just following opportunities, people and experiences as they come.

I'm hoping to use Workaway to learn from local communities, immerse myself in culture and understand each country through the people who live there. I’m a beginner Spanish speaker but improving little by little as I travel. I also enjoy dancing (especially salsa, bachata and kizomba) and love picking up new skills wherever I go.

I’m open to almost any type of project (hostels, farms, eco-living, animal care, community work) and I’m always willing to try new things. I enjoy hands-on work, connecting with people and being part of a team.

I have plenty of experience with animals, including horses and dairy farm work. I’ve volunteered in schools and hostels in the past, and I’ve worked for many years in the care sector supporting people with learning disabilities and mental health conditions. These experiences taught me patience, adaptability and how to work well with all kinds of people.

I love cooking, especially collecting recipes from different countries and sharing food with others. I also enjoy gardening, foraging and growing vegetables when I get the chance. I’m a hard worker, quick learner, and I always put my full effort into whatever I do.

If you think I might be a good fit for your place, I’d be happy to hear from you!
