Description

Hi all,
After working in an office for the last couple of years, I am looking for some new challenges and experiences in order to develop myself by furthering my knowledge of culture and language.
I am an outgoing individual who is self-motivated and easy-going in day-to day life. I love the outdoors, all types of sports and learning about new cultures. I love meeting new people and listening to their stories and perspectives on life. I am eager to work in a place centered around helping people and communities with the hope of making a positive impact there.

Pablo is an incredibly positive person who doesn't seem to let anything affect him, this is something that I really admire in him. As well as his work ethic, he is extremely calm. I helped clean/tidy his house and I varnished his ceiling for just under a week and I was able to enjoy his amazing garden and swimming pool. Tigre is a very calm place … read more

I just finished a great experience with Noemi where I stayed for just under a week. We both shared English/Spanish so I think it worked well. I spent my time sanding the exterior walls and applying plaster. Noemi showed me around Quilmes and I also really liked the area. It felt safe and there are a lot of shops and a nice park nearby. Noemi is … read more

Mark stayed with us for two weeks and was always ready to help, try a new sport or meet new people. He made friends easily and was super cool and easygoing with us, our kids and our dogs. … read more

This Workaway experience was good as I was able to get the benefits of living in a city while seeking to improve my German language skills. I typically worked 9-2 Monday to Friday and Markus was nice enough to accomodate changes that I requested on one or two occassions. My tasks included cleaning around the house, preparing food, generic garden … read more
