Description

Hi! I'm Maui from Mexico.
After years of working, I’ve decided to take some time to travel and connect with new people and places before starting my next job.

I bring over 10 years of experience in customer service, hospitality, tourism, and sales. I'm friendly, adaptable, easy-going, and always ready to help with whatever’s needed—whether it’s hands-on tasks or simply bringing good energy to the team. I enjoy nature, rural life, quiet places, but I also appreciate the rhythm of the city and great company.

This is my second time using Workaway. My first experience was unforgettable, and I'm excited to live it all over again. I'm open to new opportunities, learning, and sharing. If you think we’re a good match and I can help with your project, feel free to reach out—let’s create something special together!

More details about your skills

I studied tourism and have spent over 10 years working in customer service, hospitality, and tourism. I really enjoy making people feel welcome and taken care of—whether it's at a hotel, on a tour, or just helping out with a smile.

I’ve worked in all sorts of roles like:

Front desk & concierge

Tour guide

Butler

Spa receptionist

Waiter & sales assistant

Reservations & chief concierge

Airport gate agent & security

Volunteer work for mosquito/dengue prevention programs

Some places I’ve worked include United Airlines, Virgin America, Southwest, VivaAerobus, Duty Free, Sheraton Grand, JW Marriott, Hyatt Ziva, Holiday Inn, and more.

I’m super detail-oriented and like things done right, but I’m also chill, open to learn, and always happy to help. If you’re looking for someone positive, friendly, and hands-on—I’d love to be part of your project!
