Description
Salam khoti!

I'm Pablo and grew up in Brussels but I'm from a mixed heritage (Brirish & Colombian).

I first used Workaway in 2019 spend 3 months in the South African Cape region to discover projects involved in themes related to sustainability and permaculture. I also helped out at a hostel in Cape Town and I'd love to find a paid position doing reception work.

From September to December 2022 I spent 3 months in Morocco to learn some Moroccan Arabic. I worked for 2 weeks at an animal refuge in Tamraght and after a 3 week stint volounteeing at two hostels in Essaouira but not via WorkAway, at an argan farm in the village of Tafedna, just south of Essaouira, and finally at a languages academy in Berrechid near Casa, helping in English conversation classes.

More details about my language interests
Geopolitical dev-ops guy, but not a programmer 💭🤌 My writing makes people laugh, I hope so anyway, otherwise it's at me they laugh at.. So it's really more about: indigenous territorial rights, general socioeconomic development & history of languages (plus preservation of endangered ones) 🗺️☀️ Beginning to get interested in understanding demographic changes, and issues that trigger migrations 👣 I'm currently studying Darija (Moroccan Arabic) and Indo-Malay 🤗 I enjoy teaching through jest & jesture ✍️🤲

An immersive experience in a Luo fishing village. A beautiful environment, lots to learn about the local culture, a kind and welcoming host family and the school kids happy to have you teaching them (football in my case). I wish the project lots more success going onwards.

Washington's advancing opportunities for youths is really admirable. After a last minute trip delay to Tanzania I wrote to him and he welcomed me to Babadogo to stay in his flat with Bella, who both treated me to a wonderful stay in their corner of Nairobi. I visited all his projects, joined him in sustainability meetups and community meetings,… read more

I spent a wonderful few weeks with Eilis, Éamon and the whole family who were all really welcoming and a no-nonsense bunch of craic agus gáirí. I also had to the chance to meet a lot of their friends and family and there are always more new faces to meet, either passing by the ̶h̶o̶u̶s̶e̶ forum, for a cup of tea but then staying 12 hours to in… read more

It's hard to be brief when commending the farm for all its organisational virtue, but I'll do my best! The two wonderful Easter weeks I spent at Fijnveld where really enjoyable and fulfilling. In my travels in the Cape it was probably the industriously developed farm in which I volunteered and a massive inspiration towards reaching a personal… read more

I spent a wonderful week at the farm with such a gracious and welcoming family. Learning from their knowledge of the land was really inspiring, absorbing many interesting quirks and methods about the ins and outs of authentic smallholder eco-friendly farming. Their approach to their guests is selfless and attentive, but in understanding their… read more
