Description

Hello there! My name is Alejandro and I'm a freelance illustrator who loves 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'd like to experience more jobs with other landscapes than my computer screen. 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.

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

During my longest Workaway experience, over a year in Denmark, I worked at a retreat center with a focus on hospitality, sustainability and permaculture. I was involved in various tasks, including maintenance, power tool operation, construction, and facility cleaning. I worked on carpentry, painting, general upkeep, gardening, land cultivation, art projects, kitchen assistance, and event support. This experience allowed me to develop a wide range of practical skills while contributing to a sustainable and community-driven environment. As a graphic designer, I also designed a map of the facilities on their 20-hectare property.

I'm confident in my ability to handle physical work tasks. As a craftsman, I have developed my DIY skills focused on wood, leather and painting.

Also I enjoy illustrating with my tablet. I think I have a good aptitude for various computer software apps, managing social media platforms and doing some audiovisual productions.

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

I consider myself a responsible person with good communication skills, striving for self-improvement.

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, although my passion lies particularly in the Norse culture.
