Description

I am a 36 year old male from the United States traveling through Argentina for the first time. I hope to gain a greater connection with the land and the people by volunteering. I have a desire to learn practical skills such as farming/gardening, different types of construction, carpentry, masonry and cooking. I am also interested in learning about the production of things such as things such as yogurt, cheese, wine, kombucha and other artesenal products. I am a native English speaker. I have been speaking Spanish for about ten years. This is my third long backpacking trip through Latin America and I previously lived in Spain for two years. I would consider my Spanish level high-intermediate, but I feel that it will advance quickly during this trip.
