Description
Hello Everyone,
My name is Byron and I started travelling through Mexico from February. As I continue to travel I am going through central America and South America doing Workaways to enrich my experiences of these countries
I am an experienced traveller who is finding exciting ways to continue to see more of the world.

I am an adventurous, outgoing and active person who is always looking for new experiences. I love being outdoors, in nature, any and all animals and I always enjoy some DIY and physical work.

My current travel adventure starts in Mexico but will hopefully continue throughout Latin America allowing me to take in all of the beautiful sights.

I am a trained chef and I also have experience cleaning and customer service.

I love animals and recently spent a year in Israel working in a horse ranch where I cared for all of the animals there.

I have a bachelors degree in computing science so I am also digitally proficient and can help with any work in that area.

More details about your skills
I spent serval years training to be a chef in Scotland. I worked in many restaurants giving me experience in many different work environments. I have a Level 2 Food and Hygiene certificate which I completed because of this job I am good at working in a team towards a common goal.
During the Pandemic I spent 6 months working in hospital cleaning and preparing food for the patients. The cleaning needed to be done to a high standard so I think that I excel in that area of work.

I spent a year in Israel working on a horse ranch in the desert. At this ranch in learned how to feed, groom and take care of the horses, as well as learning to ride them. In the horse ranch i also looked after the chickens, dogs and cats. This experience made me realise how much of a love for animals I have.

After school I went to university and completed a Bachelors degree in Computing Science in Glasgow.

Last year I completed a Teaching English as a Foreign Language qualification (TEFL). This means that I am qualified to to English to non-native English students.

I stayed at this Workaway for a week and it was great. We only worked 3 hours a day in the morning and I really enjoyed the work. I was working in the garden doing weeding, planting and cutting things. The food was very healthy and good sized portions. After work we had lots of free time to chill in the hammocks and swim in the river. There was a… read more

Byron was definitely a good volunteer to have here at the hotel. He was always in a good spirit and always ready to help. He was getting along with all the volunteers and never heard him complaining about anything, even when we ask him to change room a few time during his stay which we always try to avoid. He always did the work we asked him with… read more

This is great Workaway. Isabell and Nico are really friendly and welcoming. There was plenty of food bought weekly for all the volunteers and kept in the PRIVATE kitchen for only volunteers. We could request certain things and express our likes and dislikes so the food that was bought wasn't wasted. I changed rooms a few times so they could keep… read more

This Workaway was great. Anne and Gilberto welcome you into their family and help you with anything you need. They both have travelled the world and have fascinating stories about their Humanitarian work with The Red Cross around the world. We would sit together for meals with the children and it was a beautiful family atmosphere. There was always… read more

This is a great Workaway. A very nice balance of work and chill time. I spent time here during the low season so I was helping with painting, gardening and getting the place ready for the high season. Diego and Chino are lovely hosts who make you feel very welcome. When I wasn’t working I would spend lots of time snorkelling as the house is right… read more

It was great having Byron with us, since the first day he was ready to help us with any task assigned. He is very versatile and was a great help with maintenance, animal care, cleaning, woodwork, activities assistance and he is a very fun company to have around. Always willing to give an extra hand with whatever was needed and was very nice with… read more

For my first Workaway, I found the experience to be extremely rewarding. Working and living in the adventure park enabled me to work with others and to build many friendships with locals and other Workawayers. Everyday was different and there were many different activities to do such as zip lines, climbing, Forrest walks, many board games,… read more
