Description

Hi! My name is Alejandro and I enjoy doing Workaway while moving between jobs. I'm a freelance graphic designer and I love to explore new places as a digital nomad.

I'm originally from Argentina and have European citizenship, as my grandmother was Italian. In the last five years, I've lived in Italy and Denmark. I spent a few months in Norway and in Germany as well.

I have a passion for craftsmanship, particularly working with wood and leather. I'm always willing to learn new things during my time with Workaway.

I'm fluent in Spanish and English. I have also learned Italian while living in Italy.

When it comes to food and health, I have no restrictions or concerns. I'm an open-minded person, I don't judge others and strive to create a positive, inclusive environment. I have a soft spot for animals, especially cats.

One of my biggest interests lies in medieval times. I always find myself drawn to historical places and I love attending medieval events whenever the opportunity arises.

Something about me: Hosts don't have to worry too much about entertaining me in my free time. As a digital nomad on the go, I don't look to cram in activities to keep me entertained during a Workaway stay. I'm sociable, but I recharge more by being alone in my free time. I fit in best with hosts who maintain a balance between their private life and contact with the volunteer.

Any questions you might have about me, please let me know. I wrote about my skills further down in this profile.

More details about your skills

When someone says they're a graphic designer, it can involve many things! I think the same is true for "Maintenance" on Workaway. So, these are the things I've encountered during my years working on various projects:

Painting (walls, doors, furniture)

Gardening (pruning, mowing, some power garden tools)

Basic carpentry (cutting, sanding, oiling, some power carpentry tools)

Housekeeping (cabins, rooms, hotels)

House and pet sitting

I'm confident in my ability to handle some physical tasks. Although I'll say that heavy tasks require less volunteer time and more rest time. As for physical tasks, painting walls isn't the same as moving gravel for five hours a day, at least for me.

I've worked in facility maintenance, but I'm not a builder or carpenter. I'm willing to help in areas of expertise as long as someone with more experience leads the project.

I can take care of domestic pets, but I could also learn more about taking care of different farm animals.

Lastly, most of my life I dedicated myself to graphic design, so I have a good aptitude for various computer software apps, managing social media platforms and doing some audiovisual productions.

What else ...

As a historical medieval reenactor in Italy and Denmark, I have gained firsthand experience camping in the wilderness using authentic historic tents. I also had to interact and entertain people visiting our historical medieval fairs. As an artisan, my hobbies have evolved from running a workshop creating medieval replicas in wood and leather to becoming a historical medieval reenactor. I'm deeply fascinated by all the stages and cultures of this era.
