Description
Hello everyone,
I am Nicolas, I am 47 years old, from Chile and I'm on a trip that I have dreamed of for many years. My main motivation to participate as a volunteer in Workaway is to discover new places, to live adventures and meet new friends from all over the world, learning about their lifestyles and culture, widen my horizon and get out of my comfort zone.
I speak native Spanish, fluent English and intermediate French.
I am an architect and audio engineer and I combined both passions building my own recording studio where I have been working for a few years. I have also dabbled in luthiery and have participated in several local bands, playing the electric bass.
I love to work with my hands and my main skill and passion is to learn, whether it's a new language, a new skill, a new sport or any other opportunity I come across.
I consider myself a friendly and sociable person, who also enjoys his time alone :)

More details about your skills
I would really like to learn more about sustainable construction in wood and adobe (I already have some experience). I love wood crafts in general, since I also have some experience as a luthier (I have hand built 7 electric basses). I have knowledge in design, architecture, audio, photo and video software, although I can easily learn any program if I put my mind to it. I love recording and editing audio of any kind, which is what I currently do. I really enjoy doing home repairs like plumbing, electricity, carpentry and painting.

Anne is an awesome host. She shared so much with me: introduced me to all of her friends, took me to beautiful hiking spots, visited almost all the surrounding villages and cities, cooked amazing food and sweets every day, and showed me some French traditional dishes and traditions. She is very kind, funny, generous and caring, and I’ll be forever… read more

I did not know I had a Chilean brother till I met Nicolas. He initially was to stay a couple of weeks and then stayed several months. Nicolas is a very pleasant person to live with: calm, discrete, with a very fine sense of humor. He is one of the rare persons who not only know to speak but also to listen. We had good conversations and laughed a… read more

Marilou is a great host. She was very empathic, welcoming, and willing to share a piece of her life with me. I stayed for ten days in her beautiful house, and I felt at home. She introduced me to her friends and family and included me in some of her trips to Turin, which I really appreciated. The house is near some beautiful hiking spots and some… read more

I think Vesna is the best representation of a great Workaway host. She has a clear and beautiful goal, which she clearly expresses and gets you involved in. She gives compliments but is also very demanding about the work at hand. She has infinite knowledge about life, politics, history, languages, music, cinema, plants, etc., and she will gladly… read more

I spent 10 days in Neb’s apartment, and it was a great time. We would fix something or discuss solutions for some of his projects in the morning, and I would have all afternoon to explore the city. He is a great teacher and a very knowledgeable person, and he would always have some interesting facts to share and some good recommendations to give,… read more

I spent three weeks at Sabine's finca and I can only say good things about my stay. The volunteer house is very comfortable, independent, well equipped and with a really nice terrace to spend the afternoons working or just relaxing. The place is beautiful, full of nature, peaceful and very well connected to the rest of the island.

Estuve tres semanas en casa de María y puedo decir que fue una muy grata experiencia.

Realmente fue la persona idéal para ayudarme en todo lo que necesite, desde carpintería, pintura, electricidad, albañilería y estoy seguro que si se hubiera quedado más tiempo me dejaba el jardín perfecto.

Tuve una excelente experiencia en la finca de Jasmine y Jost. Puedes estar seguro de que cualquier cosa que necesites, Jasmine te ayudará prontamente. El trabajo es variado, a veces suave, a veces duro, pero siempre sin presiones, por lo que tienes que tener iniciativa y ser independiente. La casa disponible para los Workaways es sencilla pero… read more

Nicolás estuvo un mes ayudando en nuestro hostal y puedo decir que es alguien en quien puedes confiar cualquier tarea que le encomiendes. Es una persona muy respetuosa, comprometida, responsable y puntual. Dentro de las tareas realizadas por Nico están las de recepcionista y personal de limpieza, todas realizadas correctamente. Gracias Nico.
