Description
HI Guys,

Thank you for considering me for your project!

I have a pretty wide range of skills and experience.

I have managed hostels, both reception and the bar, I'm close to bi-lingual english/spanish which helps a lot.

I love travel, sport and music, I DJ a little and sing whenever there is a guitar or a karaoke machine.

I think I have good energy and really enjoy the social aspect of the hostel vibe.

I've been lucky enough to work at some great places all over south america and if you read my feedback i think i've done ok?¡!

Apart from my service experience I also have practical skills.

My previous workaways have seen me redecorate an 18th century Victorian mansion with paint and development. I built two bridges from palletes, carved a sign for "World Peace Garden" out of a tree stump, made a chandelier from a piece of driftwood and a lamp shade from a piece of cork bark and a couple of pieces of river cane.

The latest saw me project manage the design and build of a composting toilet, shower block, fire pit and storage solution in the jungle beach of Jalisco.

There are pictures of my work on my profile and I can send you more plus references on request.

What a great opportunity to work with a fantastic brand with a great group of people.

Awww Greg!!! I can’t even begin to tell you what a great guy he is and how blessed I was to have him. Excellent leader, beyond hard working, master chef and amazing singer.

What a fantastic group of people I met here and the property itself is stunning. Jennifer is incredibly warm and generous with all her volunteers. Danny is well organised, knowledgable and helpful.

Greg has saved my holistic center, literally!

I couldn't have been any more grateful in having Greg as a Workawayer, he helped me so much that it has brought a new light to my center. He was always on point with manual labor and has great ideas to make any project BETTER than it was envisioned at first.

Honestly, my center wouldn't survive… read more

I don"t have sufficient words for the time I experienced at this Workaway. Gaby is warm, intelligent, connected and generous. I passed two months here where I learned a lot about myself. I fixed a lot of problems for her and I now call her "Tia" or "Aunty". If you are lucky enough to be invited here I hope you enjoy my work but more importantly… read more

Jason is an excellent host and the experience of living/working here is one I can only recommend in the highest of terms.

The workday is organised, varied and more often than not, interesting and educational.

The property itself is stunningly raw and beautiful as are the surrounding areas and picturesque, quintessential Spanish mountain… read more

I cannot praise this opportunity highly enough! What a fantastic group of warm, welcoming and kind people. The management of the work day is clear, fair and precise. The work is varied and never too hard. The food is exceptionally good and as for the house and grounds? You could not wish for a more beautiful setting to be calm and heal. You will… read more
