Description
Hello everyone!!
My name is Matias. I was born in Argentina, in a family with a very diverse background (Greek,English,Spanish,Italian,Armenian..) I left my hometown when I was 20 years old seeking new life experiences and eager to explore this beautiful planet
I'm a man who lives a simple, free, tranquil and healthy way of life.Passionate about nature and traveling.
In regard to work, here I mention some of my work experiences: Bartender,waiter, host in events, assistant in a nautical upholstery, Actor/model, Personal Trainer, spanish tutor, hostel receptionist, general assistant in an eco Lodge business, and more..
After an extensive workaway journey through Australia,Italy,Spain,Finland,Denmark,Norway, France, Japan, Greece, Turkey, Switzerland, Costa Rica and Argentina I have learned and improved my abilities in many different fields like farming, animals care, gardening, personal assistant, cabins cleaning, sanding/painting, hostel assistant, house / dog sitting..
In my free time, I like doing all kind of outdoor activities. To name a few : mountain hiking,kayaking,cycling,fishing,running etc..Sports-nature is the best combination!
I also enjoy having a good coffee, or a local beer with good company, watching movies, playing drums, board games and many more..
Kind regards
Mati

Matias was very much a lone guy when with us. He painted some chairs and a table and in that work needed no supervision and did a meticulous job. He then sanded and varnished a sideboard, which then needed some re-doing. He was kind and had good stories. The down-side was that he really did not chip in much to the common, cooking and cleaning up,… read more

He is very responsable and hard working. We loved his cooking skills and always had cozy times with him. He adapted very well to our family routine and was always aware about the surroundings.
We can only recommend Matias and wish him all the best in the future!
