Description
Hi there. My name is Álvaro, Im American-Dominican(Born in New York, but have lived most of the time in Dominican Republic). I studied Architecture in the Dominican Republic. Currently Im living in NYC. I sometimes work as a Architectural drafter but Im in the Actors union(SAG AFTRA) where I work mostly as a Stand In and Background actor.I consider myself as Bicultural. Im seeking to know and travel the world. :) I've done some Workaway in Nicaragua, Panamá, Mexico, Detroit, California and Seattle so far and all have been great experiences. I want to continue workawaying because it facilitates me to travel slowly which allows me to make new friends, learn about different cultures(inmerse into a country) and visit unique places. Im a nice guy, easygoing, responsible, hard worker and adaptable. I can help with basically everything except Maybe with cooking. Im not a great cook haha

Since I haven't done any Workaway since 2020(did a couple of weeks in Seattle) and have no reviews since 2017, im putting my instagram and also my Couchsurfing if need of references.

My stay with Nathalie was great even though I only spent 3 days. I really liked staying in the French countryside. Nathalie is a very good host.

She cooked very good food and introduced me to some neighbors. We went for walks and play some fun board games. It was a great balance of work and Cultural exchange(nice to have the accordion as… read more

Alvaro spent three days at home. We have worked well on making a vegetable patch in the garden. Everything went well, Alvaro left to continue his trip to Europe, we had a good time even if the stay was short.
Thank you for your help Alvaro and have a good trip

I stayed about 8-9 days and I have to say it wasn't a very good experience. I have to be fair and honest, Galo is a cool and nice guy and I don't have anything against him, but the problem was the same as the Workawayer before me explained in her review. There's a LACK of organization and those 1-2 hours he says you are supposed to work are kind… read more

I had a wonderful time in Khadija and Seamus house. I spent 2 weekends there plus an extra day :). The work didn't even feel like work, it was very fun and time went very fast. The food was also GREAT! Thanks to Seamus for taking us on a hike up the San Gabriel Mountains, it was a nice experience! They are very interesting people! Thanks for… read more

Al is an AMAZING guy who helped us with a TON of projects and we really appreciate what he did for us! From stripping paint and demolishing walls to painting, woodworking and various building tasks, Al was always there to help with energy and enthusiasm. Al is smart, thoughtful, respectful and a great conversationalist. We are happy to recommend… read more

I spent 2 months there and it was awesome! I even felt part of the family haha. Alex and Jenny(also Maya and company) just make you feel so confortable that it's hard to say bye! They are the perfect example of how Hosts in Workaway should be. They are always planning some kind of activity/cultural exchange which are very fun and educating.… read more

Alvaro is an excellent worker! Also very pleasant to be around and got along with everyone in the house. Avarol is very smart and an extremely quick learner. He painted my entire porch (no simple task, considering all the scraping needed), did much plaster/drywall repair, helped unload and carry items, laid floor tile, cleaned, and just… read more

From my 3 Workaway experiences, this has been the best without a doubt. Karen(the host) and the city of Detroit are the reasons why.

About Karen: She has done everything possible to make me feel like home. Providing a wide variety of food every day(except Sat-Sun, although you still have food in the fridge), doing my laundry, giving me lots of… read more

I had a chance to volunteer there for a month and it was just great! Very easy tasks and nothing to stress about. I thanks Cesar, the owner and the others guys for making me feel at home and helping me with the things I need. I felt so comfortable there and I really appreciate that. Hope I can come back one day to that beautiful city of Granada. … read more

I had a really great time in this hostel in Chitré and mostly because of Mike who is a very funny and relaxed man with good conversations. I spent about 10 days in Chitré, a nice and safe little town relatively near to some cool beaches like Playa Venao. Mike is very flexible about the hours so you can have some good time to chill. Thanks man… read more
