Description
Hi! my name is Nicolas, I am from Santiago de Chile, South America, and this is my first time in Workaway.
I consider myself a very responsable, mature, sociable, enthusiastic and clean and tidy person.
I'm taking a career break, after 15 years working in construction management projects. I am looking for discover different cultures and connect with wonderfull people.
I love carpentry, electrical, plumbing, landscaping and construction projects in general. Actually as a hobby, I make furnitures and do different household repairs and installations.
At 42, I have learned things in life that I want to share, and I also want to continue learning from other cultures and people. I also have the seriousness and responsibility to make decisions.
I am very open minded, and always willing to do good in both: my professional and personal life. Responsability and values are a very important matter to me.
I am taking this opportunity to enjoy simple things I don't have back home: such as enjoy working while living with warm weather, warm sea, and warm people.
