Description
Hi there!
I'm Mateo from Argentina. I started traveling in 2016 and since then I have already toured several countries where I was able to know and experience other cultures, other ways of life, other realities, other social and cultural parameters that often came to me distorted through the screens. I am currently exploring Europe with no return date.
I firmly believe that traveling, getting in touch with people, is the best way to break stereotypes and prejudices that often arise from ignorance and media interests.
I am a curious person, passionate about learning new things, positive and always in a good mood, and above all respectful of others.
I like music, movies and a good conversation. One of my hobbies is making instruments.

I have a lot of experience especially in carpentry since I worked several years with my father who is a carpenter, and also in general maintenance work. I have already done several workaways in which I did carpentry, electrical, dry construction, gardening and organic orchard and even dog care!
I attended high school in a technical school where I learned several manual skills.
I also studied image and sound design in Buenos Aires and worked for various years as a video editor in different projects, so I also have experience in that area.

Pasamos unos días increibles, llenos de aprendizaje. El lugar es hermoso, muy tranquilo. Maria y Damian nos hicieron sentir como en casa y pasamos muy lindos momentos juntos compartiendo comidas y música, ademas del trabajo. El barrio y su historia también es un lugar interesante de conocer. Sin duda volveriamos.
