Ricardo
I was boy scout by 14 years and I live alone since my 18 years old. I decided to travel with "workaway" to be myself and live a dream.
I want to forget the television and social networks and live every single country, taking advantage of "workaway" and friendship established in this trip. Im also running half marathons in all the country's (more than 10, already).
After a while, i realized that my trip is more about people than any other thing...

The kids were very easy going and the animators even better! It’s not really a place for work, it’s actually a place for you to enjoy Slovak culture and feel your self free and “kid” again.
