Description

Hola! Me llamo Otis y soy de Nueva Zelanda. I’ve been exploring Latin America for the past two months, and I’m currently looking for somewhere in Mexico to help out, meet interesting people, and practice my Spanish.
Back home, I study medicine, so I’m a fast learner and it’ll take more than cleaning bathrooms to gross me out. Within medicine, I’m particularly interested in psychology and philosophy, and I hope to work in mental health.
I love reading, biking, hiking, practicing yoga (though I’m terribly inflexible), cooking tasty plant-based food, and almost any sort of creative project.

More details about my language interests
I’ve been working hard on my Spanish over the past year, including attending a Spanish school in Medellín, and I would love any opportunities to practice. I’m more than happy to help anyone out with their English speaking or writing.

More details about your skills

Studying medicine and working in hospitality have given me plenty of experience working with teams to ensure people are well looked after. I’m a clear and friendly communicator, and I know when to take initiative and when to ask for help.
I’m known for being the cleanest of my five housemates, which I believe means I’m qualified in housework.
I’m no botanist, but I’ve recently been part of a project planting native New Zealand forest, and I don’t mind getting my hands dirty in the garden.
I’ll get hooked on almost any creative project—particularly sculpture, painting, and photoshop—and I’ve completed numerous commissioned designs (logos and graphic design).
