Hola!

My name is Matt and I'm a friendly and adaptable traveler excited to explore South America and immerse myself in its vibrant cultures. I love meeting new people and lending a hand wherever I can. Learning from others and trying new things are what I thrive on, and I'm eager to fully engage with local communities.

I have plenty of hands-on experience in customer service, event planning, and hospitality—I'm even a qualified barista! Making sure everyone feels welcome and supported is something I genuinely enjoy. After spending time in Spain, I became conversationally fluent in Spanish, so I'm comfortable communicating and connecting with Spanish-speaking communities.

On the technical side, I recently graduated with a degree in Computer Science and Finance. I code in Python, Java, and C++, and I've worked on projects involving machine learning, data analysis, and software development. My background in finance means I'm familiar with accounting principles, financial analysis, and investment strategies.

Whether it's helping out with daily tasks, teaching languages, assisting with tech projects, or getting involved in community initiatives, I'm excited to contribute and be part of your team. I'm committed, dependable, and always bring a positive attitude. I look forward to the opportunity to learn, grow, and make meaningful connections during my time in South America!
