Description

Hi! My name is Owen, and I’m currently on a gap year between high school and college, solo traveling through South America to learn Spanish and experience new cultures.

I’m a creative and hardworking person who loves photography and videography. I’ve done real estate photography and have experience creating content for bands and restaurants, so I’m comfortable behind a camera and happy to help with media, social content, or documenting your project. I bring my camera with me and love capturing authentic stories and beautiful places.

I also play guitar and enjoy connecting with people through music. I’m easygoing, positive, and try to bring good energy wherever I go. I’ve worked independently running my own small business, which has taught me responsibility, communication, and how to show up consistently.

I’m currently focused on improving my Spanish through immersion, so I’m excited to help out, learn new skills, and be part of a local community. I’m open-minded, adaptable, and happy to help wherever needed — whether that’s hospitality, farm work, cleaning, cooking, construction, or creative projects.

More details about your skills

I have experience in photography, including real estate, travel, and documentary-style work, as well as videography and basic video editing. I’ve created content for small businesses like bands and restaurants and can help with social media and visual storytelling. I play guitar and enjoy sharing music in social settings. I have strong communication skills and customer service experience, and running my own small business has taught me responsibility, independence, and consistency. I’m adaptable, a quick learner, and comfortable working independently or as part of a team. I’m also happy to help with general tasks such as cleaning, organizing, hospitality support, and hands-on manual work, and I’m actively improving my (bad) Spanish through immersion.
