Description
🌍 About Me
Hi! I’m Alan, an experienced electrician, renovator, and team leader. I’ve been traveling around the world for the past four years, learning from different cultures and contributing to projects in many countries. I enjoy improving spaces, solving technical problems, and working with people who value clear communication, responsibility, and good energy.
I’m calm, organized, and very practical. I love learning from different cultures and contributing wherever I go. I speak Spanish (native), English, French, German, Portuguese, Albanian, and I’m currently learning Dutch, so communication is usually easy for me.
Outside of work, I enjoy trekking, team sports, and any project that involves building or fixing things.
🔧 What I Can Offer
- General maintenance and repairs
- Renovation tasks (walls, doors, floors, small carpentry)
- Hostel/guesthouse support
- Team coordination and task planning
- Multilingual communication
- A positive, reliable, and solution‑oriented attitude
⚡ Important Note About Electrical Work
I am a professional electrician, and for safety and legal reasons, any electrical installation or certified electrical work must be paid, not done as volunteer exchange.
I’m always happy to help with general tasks as a Workaway volunteer, but electrical work requires proper compensation and agreement.
🤝 What I’m Looking For
Projects with good communication, respect, and a friendly atmosphere. I adapt quickly, work hard, and enjoy being part of meaningful projects where everyone benefits.
