Description

Hi there!
Recently i decided i wanted to travel and see how it feels to work in other parts of the world. I´ve done workaway in the past, and it´s always a great opportunity to meet new people and experience different ways of living. I feel that is one of the most important things i take from traveling. And this time, i´m looking to improve my knowledge of surf which is my pation.
As for my background, i worked as video editor in film and advertising industry for 15 years. I´ve also coordinated postproduction and software teams, and have a master degree in business administration. The last years i´ve done business consulting while i´ve developed a guest house with five rooms in argentina. I took care of the make over of the place, painting, fixing the swimming pool, making some electricity connections, etc. and filling it with plants.
I´m very proud of the project and it´s given me a great experience having people coming around all year and making them feel at home.

Here´s the profile in case you are interested in finding out more.

More details about my language interests
Me encanta aprender idiomas. Aprendi italiano viajando por italia y estudiando en una escuela alli. Tengo una base de frances y portugues que aprendi por mi cuenta. Y aprendi un poco de japones a traves de audios antes de viajar a japon. Me sirvio para poder preguntar por lugares y manejarme en la ciudad.

More details about your skills

I've worked building mud houses for a month and also had a couple of weeks as a gardener. I play the guitar. I am eager to learn so even if i am not a professional carpenter or painter i ll put my best energy into it. I have polished floors and built wooden decks.
I am very responsable and have travelled a lot so i am used to meeting new people and understanding the rules of the places i go to.
I work as a film editor and also directing videos. It is a creative but very demanding industry so i am used to working hard.
I speak Spanish and english and a little italian and a little portuguese.

What else ...

Me gusta mucho surfear y hacer deporte. Viajar y trabajar me parece una experiencia hermosa (no soy tan bueno solo viajando sin tener algo que hacer). Me gusta mucho aprender nuevas cosas, trabajar con la mente y con el cuerpo, ir variando. Mantener una vida sana, buena energia, aprender de las personas y los lugares. En buenos aires tengo una casa donde alquilo habitaciones asi que un poco traje a mi hogar la experiencia de trabajar y viajar, compartiendo con gente de todo el mundo.
Soy muy respetuoso con los espacios ajenos y entiendo que al llegar a un nuevo lugar hay que ver las reglas que se manejan y acomodarse para estar en armonía con la persona que me invita a su lugar.
