Description
Hello, everyone!

I'm Rolando, I'm 29 years old, and I come from Colombia. I'm passionate about creating epic videos that capture special moments in life. I've decided to embark on a solo journey around the world to have the opportunity to meet new people, live new experiences, and help those in need, or simply to connect and interact with people from different places. I'm thrilled to be part of this beautiful community and to havethe chance to meet wonderful people from all over the world. I've had seven volunteer experiences around the world, and I don't want to stop doing it. It's incredible how enriching it can be to live with people who have different ways of life, thoughts, and actions than what we're used to.

I'm willing to help with any task, I usually learn quickly what I don't know, I enjoy acquiring new knowledge, and I'm very flexible when it comes to food. One of my qualities that helps me a lot in these drastic changes in cultures and ways of life is that I adapt easily to changes.

I hope we have the opportunity to get to know each other, and I'm completely sure that you have something to teach me, and I have something to teach you. Please, never stop learning.

¡Hola a todos!

Soy Rolando, tengo 29 años y soy un apasionado de la creación de videos épicos que inmortalizan los momentos especiales de la vida. Vengo de Colombia y he decidido emprender un viaje en solitario alrededor del mundo. Mi objetivo es tener la oportunidad de conocer gente nueva, vivir experiencias enriquecedoras y brindar mi ayuda a quienes la necesiten. También busco la oportunidad de interactuar con personas de diferentes lugares y culturas. Estoy encantado de formar parte de esta hermosa comunidad y de tener la oportunidad de conocer a personas maravillosas de todo el mundo.

Hasta ahora, he tenido siete experiencias como voluntario en diferentes partes del mundo, y no tengo intención de detenerme. Es sorprendente lo enriquecedor que puede ser convivir con personas que tienen estilos de vida, pensamientos y actitudes diferentes a lo que estamos acostumbrados.

Estoy dispuesto a contribuir en cualquier tarea necesaria, y tengo la capacidad de aprender rápidamente lo que desconozco. Me encanta adquirir nuevos conocimientos y soy muy adaptable en cuanto a mis preferencias alimenticias. Una de mis cualidades más destacadas es mi habilidad para adaptarme con facilidad a situaciones y entornos diversos.

Espero que tengamos la oportunidad de conocernos, ya que estoy seguro de que cada uno de nosotros tiene algo valioso para enseñar y aprender. Por favor, nunca dejen de aprender y crecer. ✈️

Tuvimos el privilegio de conocer a Rolando y alojarlo en nuestro hogar 2 ocasiones. La primera vez fue en temporada de invierno por dos semanas y luego por el verano alcanzando los 3 meses.

Rolando se encargaba de preparar la cena en casa,en algunas ocasiones ayudaba en la granja a ordeñar las vacas, y me ayudaba limpiando cabañas de verano.… read more

Durante dos semanas tuve el privilegio de vivir con Barbara, Gunnar y su maravillosa familia en Islandia. Desde el primer momento, me acogieron con los brazos abiertos y me hicieron sentir como en casa. Su unión, dedicación y energía positiva son contagiosas, y fue un verdadero placer convivir con ellos.

Me impresionó su generosidad al… read more abrirme las puertas de su hogar antes de lo acordado para que pudiera presenciar las hermosas auroras boreales y tambien ayudarme a salir de un momento un poco agustioso para mí. Además, me encantó contribuir en algunas tareas del hogar, como la organización de la cocina y los espacios comunes, sacar a pasear a sus adorables perros y participar en el ordeño mecánico de las vacas, donde me diverti mucho.

Las tareas en general no fueron muy exigentes y, lo mejor de todo, es que si no dominas el inglés, puedes comunicarte en español sin problema. Esto hace que el voluntariado sea muy accesible para los hispanohablantes que deseen vivir una experiencia única en Islandia.

En resumen, recomiendo ampliamente este voluntariado, no solo por las tareas en sí, sino por la oportunidad de conocer una familia encantadora y experimentar de primera mano la cultura y belleza natural de Islandia. Una experiencia que nunca olvidaré. ¡Gracias por todo!

I had the privilege of living with Barbara, Gunnar, and their wonderful family in Iceland for two weeks. From the very beginning, they welcomed me with open arms and made me feel at home. Their unity, dedication, and positive energy are contagious, and it was a real pleasure to live with them.

I was impressed by their generosity in opening their home to me earlier than agreed so that I could witness the beautiful northern lights. Additionally, I enjoyed contributing to some household tasks, such as organizing the kitchen and common spaces, taking their adorable dogs for walks, and participating in the mechanical milking of cows, where I had a lot of fun.

The tasks, in general, were not very demanding, and the best part is that if you don't speak English, you can communicate in Spanish without any problem. This makes volunteering very accessible for Spanish speakers who want to live a unique experience in Iceland.

In summary, I highly recommend this volunteering, not only for the tasks themselves but also for the opportunity to meet a lovely family and experience firsthand the culture and natural beauty of Iceland. An experience that I will never forget. Thank you for everything!

I waited a few days to write my comment because I didn't know how to describe what I experienced at Fiona's house. She is a very energetic, active woman, she loves her pets and the animals love her, so much that if she is sad her pets notice it, if she cries, her pets cry, no joke.
I spent two months living with Fiona, Stephen, and her pets, they… read more

Rolo is an amazing person, and has the ability to make the sun shine on the rainiest of days, this alone is a pure joy when hosting on this site. I was so very grateful for his hard work and adaptability, his kindness with my animals, and his skills which meant that he could achieve absolutely any task I asked of him, and very willingly. Very… read more

Rolando stayed for about 1 month

I put him to work digging out a cellar floor, cutting and chopping wood, mixing concrete, making a concrete pad for new construction, cutting grass, and more.

He always worked well, keeping a timesheet as requested and working full hours.

Rolando asks for directions when needed, and he attended our early… read more

I originally went to this place for a week or two to help with a big Tibetan Buddhist retreat they had, and ended up staying for 6 weeks.
It was one of the nicest experiences I have ever had in my life, it was my first time volunteering and I don't think it could have been any better. Although my English is still not very good, they had the… read more
