Description
Hello! My name is Matias, I’m french/argentinian and I study mechanical engineering in Montreal, Canada. This summer I am lookimg for opportunities to spend my time meaningfully, and hopefully live and share great moments!
I have volunteered with workaway all across south america, during a gap year I took in 2018, and it was absolutely fantastic! I look back at it as very happy times, helping in hostels, farms and families with great people, and I am excited to have another go at it !
A bit about me: I was raised in Gabon, a small country next to the atlantic in Africa, that my parents reached on a sailing boat, it is probably what gave me the will to travel the world! :) Sailing has always been a part of my life and I dream of making it my job one day. I would gladly share a bit of that passion with you if you want!
I like to stay active and have never said no to sports, hikes or bike trips!
