Description
Hola. Soy Alvaro, de La Paz. Gracias por pasar por mi perfil y escríbanme por cualquier pregunta.
I'm traveling looking to become a better teacher, I found it's such a rewarding thing to do with my life and I don't want to stop. I'm learning new languages too and I feel people are very happy to help me. I'm a psychologist but I was studying also linguistics because I prefer being a teacher.
I also love animals and I'm interested about learning to train dogs. I've had just one successful experience with a strong and full of energy puppy and I loved it.
I've been told that I'm a great house and pet sitter. I really enjoy the opportunity to make someone happy while having the time to explore the city and study . I once looked after some big fish in a garden's pond and you could carefully pet them while feeding them, it was amazing.
I enjoy working with people, making clients feel important. One of the best experience I had was in Ireland where guests stayed with us for a week. That meant that you had the chance to get to know them a bit more. I was amazed to see a significant increase in my tips from week 1 to 3, and of course everyone was very happy.
I like reading, learning new things and explore any new town with a bike, bus, train or car. And it's always better with friends
Everybody prefers face to face lessons but I've also met some interesting students online
I found that Classgap is not too bad and you get a free 20 min trial

I fell in love with Romania thanks to Teodora. She is surrounded by a huge community and everyone is ready to literally run when she calls for help. That's because she is nice and friendly and sincerely cares about other people. She puts all her best energy to achieve everything she imagines and she has all the support she needs because everyone… read more

I though I have left a review for Alvaro months ago! What an outstanding guest he was! He helped us with everything and was very in tuned with us, very attentive and full of common sense. There was no job that he wasn’t able to do and as a pet and house sitter he was great, my dog loved him and we were delighted to find our dog all relaxed and… read more

Eloisa and Tom are amazing guests, my time with them was lovely and of course I did'nt want to leave when time arrived.
Tom picked me up from Cork city very late in the night and Eloisa cooked for me when we arrived at their home. They where very patient with my flight delays, even if they needed me there to go on family holidays.

My experience with Kuba and Ivan was way beyond five stars. They made me feel at home since the very first moment and everything I did with them was interesting, enjoyable and full of learning oportunities. The location is perfect, I explored all, at least a lot, the surrounding areas and the 10 min away beach is still my favorite. Kuba and Ivan… read more

Alvaro helped me a lot with housework cleaning, washing clothes and dishes. For 1 week we did not understand how the time passed. He's very funny, funny and helpful. He's also very strong in handling construction materials and heavy-duty work. A talented traveler who can do all the work with a smile and in a short time. Nice to meet you. See you.

I never met a Bolivian citizen before on this little island of Ireland. Alvaro is a great ambassador for his country, a great representative and it was truly a pleasure to have him stay with us. He settled into farm life immediately, had a great rapport with Dermot and was always ready to assist in all the daily tasks. He also prepared many… read more

Las pizzas de las fotos no son nada al lado de las de verdad y si buscaba un hostel tradicional cuando Martín me encontró una cuadra antes de llegar a su casa, no lo iba a encontrar nunca.

Alvaro (and Eugenia) stayed with my family for a month and they were amazing! Each day they tutored our three homeschooled boys in Spanish and had them exclusively reading, writing, and speaking exclusively in Spanish! In addition to schoolwork, they were quick to help with cooking, clean-up, gardening, and outdoor activities that my kids enjoy:… read more
