Description

Hi! My name is Avi and I would describe myself as very outgoing, open and creative person. I love trying new things and am always ready to give any job 100% effort. I love learning new things and keeping my mind and body active. I am looking to travel around South America participating cultural exchanges in all forms. I love learning new languages, exploring the beautiful landscapes, and experiencing culture through food, music and art. I would love to work with students, families, hostels, and good people.

A bit about my recent background...
I graduated from the University of Oregon 2 years ago and quickly realized that working a desk job was not for me. Last year I spent 6 months traveling through Brasil, Ecuador, and Colombia teaching English and working in hostels. It was refreshing to experience the country through the locals and I felt that my travel experience was memorable because of it. Now, I work in food service at a bakery during the day and working as a restaurant server at night. I enjoy working with others and feel fulfilled by making people happy.

Things I can do...
I have been working odd jobs since I was 15 and I am not above any work. I have ample swimming and aquatic experience and I have over 6 years experience working with children (teaching, camps, nannying, etc...). I have worked several years in food service and do not mind cleaning. I love spending time with people and animals in the outdoors, and would love the opportunity to work with you!
