Description
UPDATED

As of 17th April 2024, I'm in Hua Hin, Thailand.

My plan is having no plan, just having in mind that I want to live new adventures and document the great diversity of this world (in a wide sense) with my camera.
I'm heading towards Australia by earth as much as possible, traveling slowly to really discover and learn about the places and cultures.

I'm up to travel with someone else that follows this kind of philosophy (slow traveling and flowing), so do not hesitate to ask if you're looking for a travel buddy ^.^

THANK YOU for taking the time of reading my profile:

Hello! I'm Érik, a 29-year-old Spanish photographer. I want to travel as much as possible but I don't really have a fixed plan; I will just check for opportunities to stay here and there so I can continue traveling and discovering new countries and cultures. That means I'm very flexible, and also spontaneous and adventurous, so if you have something in mind or wanna make a plan with me, just ask!

I love living new experiences, meeting people and exploring new places, and I think traveling is the best way of getting all of that. And Workaway is a great opportunity to travel!
So yes, I want to travel around the Earth, capture its beauty and show it to the rest of the world so everybody can appreciate it and be aware of the importance of conserving nature.

I've always loved nature, and because of that I studied biology, but Instead of working as a biologist, I decided to help to create awareness through my photos and videos. And not only about nature, but also about the importance of connecting with other people, because that is something that opens our minds and makes us more humans. That's also why I myself want to travel.

I consider myself as an open-minded and easy-going person, very kind, friendly, and honest. I love animals, nature, and I enjoy doing some sports, watching films, listening to music, reading, etc. I like art in all its shapes, but as I've said, I am more into photography and videography too.

I'm a very handy person, proactive and optimistic, so I can help with a lot of different tasks! :)
And I'm also eager to learn new skills; If there is something I don't know how to do, it's only a matter of time before I will know how to do it, and I'm a fast learner, so it won't pass too much time until I can really help you!

Now you know a little bit about me, but you can ask me whatever you want and I will answer with pleasure! ^^

Kind regards and I hope to hear from you soon!

Érik.

More details about your skills
-I'm a photographer, so if you need any photos, I will take them for you or edit the ones you already have! I can also make and edit videos, but I'm not that expert at that (for the moment).
-I'm good with computers and I know WordPress so I can help with websites (I have my own website as well).
-I can do gardening and some carpentry: During my last volunteering, I worked in a Scout Camp doing maintenance tasks (repairing fences, trimming the grass, cutting trees, etc). Also, I can paint walls or other things.
-I'm good at cleaning and being organized. My mother rents an apartment and I sometimes help her with the cleaning, and she always taught me the value of cleanness. Besides, I've been working in a campsite in summer 2021 and 2022 as an allrounder, and the main tasks were cleaning bathrooms and little houses, and washing the dishes.
And also gardening.
-I can repair bikes at a medium level (I'm not an expert but I have experience with some reparations, like changing the tires).
-I'm good with animals. I'm very sensitive and I studied biology, so I really appreciate every living being in this world. And I worked in an animal shelter for almost two months, so I got a sense of responsibility there.
-Cooking! Well, I don't know recipes by heart, I just like to cook by eye and I think I'm not a bad cooker.

Anything else? Probably I can do it!
Age
29
What else ...

I only stayed 4 days with the parents of Kumar and it was a great experience. The house is really big and beautiful, and they provided me with tasty indian food!

I stayed for about one week in the hostel and I had a great time there. The hosts, Nupur and Gaurav are very welcoming and they are making a great job with the hostel.

I stayed at Dario's place for two weeks with one friend of mine and it was and incredible experience!
Dario was the first (and basically the only one) host that replied to my solicitude, almost immediately, saying something like "of course you can come, you are welcome". He made everything so easy from the first moment!!

This was my second Workaway experience and it was great! I went to the camping on 15th August and stayed until 26th October, so it was the end of the season.
