Description
Hi, hola, and bonjour. My name is Daniel and I am from a small city near Chicago. I have many different interests like playing guitar, piano, writing, reading, cooking, learning French, traveling, and learning. What really defines me is that I love to learn new things. Whether that is discovering a new place or studying a new skill. I hope to keep growing as a person by traveling and learning. When I am able to accomplish these two tasks I feel happy and most importantly alive. I hope to travel to Alaska this summer :)

More details about your skills
I am a certified high school English teacher for the state of Illinois. Therefore, I can help with editing and revising papers for a variety of subjects. I have experience teaching younger kids and teenagers in subjects like English, Spanish, history, and math. Additionally, when I was in college I had various computer jobs for my universities so I am able to fix a variety of computer and printer issues with both Mac and PC. I also have experience with Adobe illustrator and photoshop.
I have experience working and living in a hostel in Flagstaff, Arizona. I also don’t mind getting dirty I have had many working-class jobs that involved mowing lawns, laying mulch, cleaning hostels/hotel rooms, cashiering, and cleaning dishes. I like to think I have an immigrant mentality lol

This review is long overdue as I volunteered in month of July of 2022. Although it's been a few months since I volunteered at the hostel I still have fond memories of my time at hostel and Antalya. Yazmin was a great person to work for and Mehmed (The Toilet Doctor!) was an amazing person to work with. During my time the volunteers and I got along… read more

I had quite an interesting workaway experience with Daniel; the time he arrived was also a bit interesting because I felt like I didn't really had a lot of time to receive/introduce him properly. But he took it actually very well and I think we managed to have a nice harmony right off the bat and he just managed the basics of sharing the space… read more

I had a great experience in this Workaway. Redouane taught me how to make tajine, taught me some Arabic, and more about Morocco’s interesting culture. We also had some amazing hikes. One time a huge horde of sheep and camels came walking with us. It was like a scene in the Lion King! Lol And the work is not very difficult.

We enjoyed having Daniel volunteer with us. He was on time and completed tasks that were needed throughout the hostel. He was social with guests and made them feel welcomed. He was also clean and organized and made lasting friendships with guests and co-workers.

I loved my time at this hostel. Ole was very accommodating when I got a job at a local restaurant. So I was able to work at the hostel and at the restaurant during the same days. This allowed me three full days to explore Alaska with some money in my pocket. The state has the most beautiful and vast terrain I have ever seen in my life. As well as… read more
