Description
Hello! We are two 24-year-old university students who just finished a semester in Mexico and are currently traveling through Latin America. We’re looking for volunteer opportunities where we can put our skills—and our passion for connecting with people—to good use.
We’re both very social and have a range of experience from volunteering at school and festivals to organizing orientation events for new university students. Our skill set includes cooking, waiting tables, bartending, babysitting, and coordinating group activities. We also love animals, and are comfortable taking care fo them.
We’re excited to immerse ourselves in local culture and are open to any kind of work. We look forward to the chance to contribute and learn from our hosts!
Warmly,
Sigrid & Neil

What else ...
We ourself would say we are quite fun to be around. Always ready to come up with something fun to do, and love being active (though you can also find us chilling with a good movie). Sigrid has a new found hobbie within fermentation, and wants to study this further in her university education and Neil does an amazing interpretive dance of a mosquito ;)
