Description

Hey everyone! My names Jared. I'm from the States and I will be traveling back to Central America this year. I'm a mountain guide in the summers in Lake Tahoe, California on the Tahoe Rim Trail. Nature is a big part of my life and I'm always down for a good adventure! I also have experience in construction as an electrician and in restaurants as a server/bartender. I've been lucky enough to use workaway the last few years to grow and experience a bunch of cool new stuff! I like to volunteer places where I can improve my Spanish and learn about gardening/permaculture (and sprinkle in a good hostel every now and then) I'm pretty easy going, I like to laugh and have a good time. I'm also a musician and love being around live music! I'm starting my travels in October and I can't wait to make some new friends along the way!

More details about your skills

I'm a mountain guide on the Tahoe Rim Trail and I usually work as a server/bartender when I'm back home in the States. I have great customer service skills. I've also worked as an electrician in residential, commercial, and industrial build projects. Most of the time if it has to do with construction I can be really helpful. I'm learning Spanish and would consider myself 'conversational' level. I laugh a lot and I don't really get worked up too often, which has always been one of my greatest attributes. I'm interested in permaculture and would really enjoy gardening based jobs/duties. I would love to learn as much as I can!

During my stay here I was so happy to be surrounded by the culture and adventure that surrounds Huaraz. You can feel the excitement in the air from all the different treks and climbs to do do throughout the Andes. Mila was an amazing host and I would love to come back and continue to work with Andean Summit. It was an amazing opportunity for me to … read more

Jared taught English to kids and adults at our language institute for five weeks. He did a great job, and it was a pleasure to share that time with him. We highly recommend him!

I enjoyed my stay very much. The volunteer house was fun and the other volunteers made it such a warm home for the time we all spent there together. Teaching the kids at the school was definetly one of the highlights of my trip! :)

Always smiley and lovely, both with colleagues and guests, proactive, hard worker and ready to really be the face of the hostel in every situation. Jared is … read more
