Description
Hi! I am David. I am a young man with a lot of energy who loves being in different contexts challenged by new quests and learning all the time. I want to offer you what I know to accomplish the projects that you have and together co-create something awesome!!.

I served as a volunteer one year in AIESEC organising events for foreigners in Colombia and helping them to get a job in my country. Later, I worked for a educational agency promoting english courses and work and travel programs. I moved to London in 2010 where I worked driving a taxibike. I met my Korean ex-girlfriend there and consequently moved to South Korea for other year. Came back to Colombia in 2013, started working for different companies, but unsatisfied with my office job I decided to move to Denmark. Here, I volunteered with Event0 (a German startup) organising events for students in bars of Copenhagen and later selling tours in the city centre.

I am travelling through workaway because I want to apply my skills in more actionable and impactful way. It is the opportunity to learn other languages, about other ways of living and to try the vocations I always wanted: gardener, teacher, entertainer, chef, entrepreneur, builder and painter for name few.

My skills rage from people skills, to sales, marketing, writing, webdesign and many more.

I had great time at the eco-hostel. Justin and Andrea are cool and the place is lovely. I learnt a lot because I had to do a bit of everything: collecting grass/wood, cutting trees, gardening, walking the goats and even cooking Indian bread. The work is 4 hours a day but hard. After work most of the times I just wanted to rest. I recommend this… read more

There are 4 different shifts each of 4 hours. At the beginning you would probably start with the morning shifts but depending on how it goes you will start getting other shifts. My favourites were the first one in the morning and the last one at night, they were a good combination of cleaning and having fun with the guests. Change of shifts is… read more

I had a great month assisting Jeff with the various tasks. Being at the coworking space gave me the chance to contribute from what I know and enjoy the most. Some of the things I did were: painting walls, hosting guests, website design and writing.

It is also a perfect place to network with other entrepreneurs, activists and artists. In fact, in… read more

I had more than two amazing months at the Center. Thanks James and the rest of the team. It was my first teaching experience and I loved it! I taught babies, twelve years old kids and adults.

The job was fulfilling and fun. Being there I realised that more than teaching experience or english as a native language what really counts is the… read more

The location is central and the hours worked… read more

David is an energetic, willing to help person who has a lot of passion to see the world. He joined us for about a month and his cleaning of the guesthouse was exceptional. While is is a good person, he unfortunately is not made to work in a guesthouse/hostel unless he is able to commit to the work of the place. He likes to write and that was what… read more
