Description

Hello everybody!

My name is Tomás, 33 from Tenerife, Spain. I love using Workaway to get to know really the country and its people when travelling, connecting in a deeper way, learning and exchanging cultures.

When I'm at home I work at the hospital as a radiographer technician. From time to time I take some time off for travelling and discover this beautiful world we have.

I consider myself a hard working person, keen to learn new things, specially related to sustainble living. My family have a little greenhouse, where we mainly grow Papayas, bananas and other vegetables, so most of the food we eat it is sustainable. I have also experience with Kids (I have been an au pair twice), elderly (during Covid I volunteered with a local social network to help and offer companion to elderly) and people with disabilities (I currently volunteer with a mental disable association which I enjoy a lot). And last but not least I love dogs, I have worked with dogs and have one that is the best thing I have!


Besides this I would say I'm a quite, clean and nature lover person, that don't need much to be happy. I am also really into sports, trying to be as much as possible outdoors, in contact with nature. I do swim, freedriving (beginer), bike, hiking,... and now also in love with yoga. I don't smoke neither drink alcohol.

What else ...

I very aware of other realities different to mine, so I'm very thankful and consider myself very lucky for the life I have. That's why I tried to give back something by volunteering, either with animals (dogs) and persons (elderly in the past and for some years now people with mental disorders). I'm also very careful and thoughtful when it comes to consuming goods, like i mentioned I don't need much, I have a very simply lifestyle and when I need something I always try to do second hand.
