Description

Greetings!

I'm Nicole, a seasoned Workaway user since 2017. I've successfully stayed with 10 different hosts through the platform and have established long-lasting relationships with many of them. Despite having only a couple of reviews, I can assure you that my experiences in hospitality/home care have been nothing but exceptional and I'm excited to make new connections and have more adventures in my future travels :D

I can't imagine going anywhere without my dear companion, Bruno! He's my playful, house-trained, and oh-so-adorable Corgi/Pomeranian mix. That's why I'm looking for volunteer opportunities where I can bring my furry best friend along for the ride.

I feel lucky to have had the opportunity to do so many different things in my life. I'm a bit of a jack-of-all-trades, and I'm always eager to learn new skills. I'm a super positive and happy person, and I love nothing more than sharing that energy with those around me.

I'm a master at cleaning and have a lot of experience in the hospitality industry. I have plenty of experience with guest interaction, event planning, story-telling, making recommendations, running reception, and bartending. I've got a green thumb when it comes to gardening. and I'm a whiz with baking. I can easily prepare breakfast and have experience doing this in many of the hostels I've volunteered at. Plus I can cook up a variety of dishes (mostly vegetarian but I also know how to prepare fish & meat) for families or places with a smaller number of guests (my experience is usually with about 25 people max).

I'm highly organized and detail-oriented, so I am great with event planning, decor, office work, social media, and general "keeping track of things." I'm also great with kids, with experience in teaching, caretaking, and development. When it comes to basic construction, I may not be an expert, but I'm comfortable with painting and small building projects.

All in all, I'm a friendly and approachable person who's always ready to lend a hand and share a smile.

In my free time, I love doing things that make me happy and keep me healthy. Walking, going to the beach for a swim, and hiking are some of my favorite ways to enjoy the outdoors. Crocheting and other crafts are a fun and creative way I relax and express myself. Currently, I'm also playing around with creating ASMR audio-visual productions. I would be delighted to bring my creative expertise to your hostel, boat, home, or organization.

I've been lucky to have some amazing experiences and meet wonderful people thanks to Workaway, studying in Mexico and France, plus doing a bunch of Couchsurfing. Check out more on my profile to see all the wonderful countries I've been to!! I'm a native English speaker, fluent in Spanish, and speak at a beginner/intermediate level French. I'm excited to continue learning and plan to add Italian to my list of languages soon!

I love getting to know new people and hearing their stories! That's why I tend to prefer longer-term Workaway projects - think 4 weeks or more. So if you're looking for someone to join your team or family, count me in! Let's make some amazing memories together :)
