Description
Hi! I'm Sol from Argentina and my passion is travelling and meeting people from all around the world, and getting to know their culture.
I'm a ski and snowboard instructor and thanks to that I was able to work and live in amazing places like New Zealand, United States, Andorra and Patagonia, I love nature, animals and the outdoors life, I also studied 3 years of psychology, which I really enjoyed and gave me a great understanding about people and how to communicate with them.
I have a degree in Tourism and Hospitality, and also studied to be a National Tour Guide in Argentina and that is what I've been doing for this past few years, working as a tour guide in my beautiful and ever bustling city, Buenos Aires. But since I can't go long without travelling myself I set on a new adventure to discover the countries of my ancestors, Italy (thanks to whom I have an italian passport now) and England and also around Europe. Until now its been incredible and I'm really excited to see what's next.

I´m great with kids and have experience working with them, and animals (I love every single animal on this planet...roaches could be an exception) I have a great ear for languages, that´s why I speak 5 and counting! I´m serious and responsable when it comes to work, but also learned not to take myself too seriously and try to solve things with humor and a positive attitud.
Doing sports and being outdoors is one of my favourites things , so I´m fit and athletic and always willing to explore new places.

Sol was a great workawyer. Always sociable and willing to help. She was very keen to assist with the main project which was outdoor decking work in the garden and Sol was very cheerful and great company. We can highly recommend Sol. Good luck with your new workaway placements. Keep in touch Sol!

Living in our house Sol kept everything tidy and clean, and although we ate different foods, it was never an issue and we really enjoyed dinner times and watching movies together. Although we are very remote, Sol… read more
