Description

Hey I'm Otto, I'm from England.

I've recently come back from an amazing trip to Thailand, where I travelled from North to South, training and fighting in Chiang Mai, volunteering in Surat and doing some climbing and trekking in Krabi. I had a great time and met some really wonderful people, and can't wait to go travel somehere else!

I'm currently in Mexico for a couple of months, message me to meet up!

More details about your skills

I have experience in retail, hospitality, and working in kitchens (chef in Thai kitchen). This has given me a real love for working as part of a team, and given me a calm air in stressful situations.

I enjoy learning new languages. I studied Chinese in school (taking the final exam 2 years early), and loved learning Thai to connect with my colleagues at work.

I am really into working out and keeping fit, I have taught boxing and kickboxing classes to my gym, as this is my passion.

I spent 6 months volunteering at a local primary school, helping children develop their reading skills. I love working with children, and find this type of work very rewarding.

I am a fast learner, and enjoy aquiring new skills. I'm not afraid of hard work, and enjoy a challenge.

Alex and Susanne are such lovely, generous, wonderful people, I had a great week and a half with them. Both went above and beyond to make me feel welcome and comfortable. This is the place to be if you love animals, working outside and want to learn about Mexican culture! I highly recommend staying here!

He jumped in to help with a variety of projects, including hauling all kinds of heavy things and cooking a delicious Thai meal. An eager learner, Otto quickly got the hang of riding a motorcycle and got on surprisingly well with the Spanish language. We … read more

My friend and I stayed for 2 weeks at Alec's place, and a had a wonderful time - we couldn't have felt more welcome and at home.

Alec is a great guy, really kind and funny. We became friends very quickly.

Most of my work was helping construct a section of the roof, while my friend painted a mural. Alec is very conscious of only having … read more

I cannot recommend volunteering at the camp enough! I felt so comfortable and welcome almost instantly after arriving, due to the kindness and generosity of all the staff. Despite only staying for 2 weeks or so, I feel I’ve made genuine friends that I am still in touch with after leaving Thailand.

The camp is in a beautiful location, and offers … read more
