Description
Hi, my name is Santiago. I’m 27 years old and from Argentina. After spending five years traveling the world and working various jobs in many different countries, I returned home for a while. This year, I have decided to set out again.
I am passionate about learning about new cultures, and I believe the best way to do this is by living and working alongside local people. For me, the most important part of this experience is the cultural exchange. If you are looking only for inexpensive labor, please do not contact me :)
I am looking for a genuine connection.

Santiago and Andres spent 1 month in Lungsjön. They helped us with some reperations (t.ex. goat fens), preparing our place for the winter (t.ex. snow protection on the roof) and much more.
They enjoyed to take care of the goats and the cats and feed them.

We spent a month with Jürg and Maria, they have a beautiful land in a very quiet village. We worked together all the time. It was a bit difficult to speak English at first, but we understood each other well in the end. They gave us the opportunity to work overtime, they lent us their car, the bikes and we had the chance to go to the local gym. We… read more

Spend 2 beautiful weeks in Durres, the city is beautiful, with a very relaxed atmosphere. The work was very easy, the guests were very friendly and there were also other volunteers with whom we had a lot of fun and are now great friends. I won't wait to come back later, thank you for everything Antea!

Santiago wrote to me last minute to come and work at the hostel and he honestly couldn't have come at a better time. He is such a smiley, vibrant and patient person, who loves to drink his mate tea. He adapted to the work with ease and was a really nice presence to have around the hostel for two weeks. I will miss his BBQ skills and everything he… read more

Santiago and his smile: we certainly will miss them! Always relaxed, very laid back in the way he lives his life, but a very hard worker and always available to help out if needed. Very skilled as well, not only as an electrician but in general: his 'hands on, let's just try and do this' attitude was so lovely for us to experience. Kind,… read more

I spend a month in this beautiful place. Torben and Klaar are wonderful people, they always made sure I felt good, that I liked the work and that it wasn't too much. Always willing to take me to the train station or for a walk. I shared the house with other volunteers, a great group of people from different countries, all amazing. The place, the… read more

The plan was mainly to stay two weeks and I ended up staying three months :) From the view of the countryside, the vineyards to the gastronomy, this place is a gem in Italy.

I was going to stay 2 weeks and I ended up staying 1 month. Work isn’t hard, if you don’t like working in construction and getting dirty, this place isn’t for you. The bricklayer you work with is a very fun Croatian, the food is good and the location even better, close to the beach, the center and the university, many young people around. I… read more
