More details about your skills

I’ve had a passion for teaching and helping others for most of my life. I recently graduated from college, where I tutored students in biology and chemistry, and also taught kids how to play lacrosse. My work experience spans across restaurants, lawn care, and higher education, giving me a strong work ethic and adaptability in different environments. I also volunteer weekly at a hospice, which has taught me compassion and patience. Most recently, I traveled to Germany, where I taught English to refugees and immersed myself in the local language and culture.

What else ...

I love being outdoors — whether it’s hiking, running, biking, or just exploring new places and cultures. I enjoy staying active through sports like lacrosse, soccer, football, and basketball, but I’m always open to trying something new. In my free time, I also like to cook and experiment with new recipes, especially when I can share them with others.

Owen stayed with us around 2 weeks in April, and we cannot recommend him highly enough! He was an incredible help to us and integrated himself perfectly into our daily routine. Owen took on a big amount of responsibility, especially taking care of all our animals, which included feeding, watering, cleaning and moving tons of material around. … read more

Wow, what an amazing experience. I stayed with Lise and Feri for 3 weeks and enjoyed every minute of it. I learned how to take care of sheep and helped keep the farm functional. I will certainly miss Lise and Feri's delicious recipes and their kind souls.

Owen has been an incredible support in teaching our grade 8 students. His ability and patience to connect with learners truly stood out. He had this warm smile creating a warm and positive feeling. Over time, he became more than just a volunteer, he became one of us. His presence brought both professionalism and a sense of belonging making it easy … read more

I spent around three weeks here and enjoyed every minute of it. At the school, you’re really able to connect with the students and be creative with the lessons you teach. The food is delicious, both from the school and the home-cooked meals at the accommodation (especially William’s ugali). On the weekends, there are plenty of activities to … read more

Truly one of the most memorable experiences of my life. I spent a week at Dionny's house and loved every minute of it. From helping Dionny cook fresh ceviche in the kitchen to trecking Lake 513, it was more than I could have asked for. The work is reasonable and the accommodation is great. Overall, highly recommend. Thank you Alan, Dionny, and … read more

I spent 4 weeks in Acacías, although it only felt like 1 week because the time flew by. I spent 1.5 hours a day teaching English Monday through Friday to the same group of 4–6 students. This allowed us to not only get on a first-name basis, but also really get to know each other’s goals and interests. Watching these students progress each week was … read more
