Description
🇬🇧English
Hi, I’m Diego, originally from Colombia and currently based on the French Riviera.
I’m an engineer and I work remotely for an American company. I hold a French Passeport Talent visa, which means I’m legally authorized to live and work in France. While waiting for my residence card to be issued, I won’t be leaving the country for some time, so I thought Workaway would be a nice way to keep exploring and meeting interesting people.
I speak fluent English and French, and I can also communicate in Spanish, Italian, Russian and Brazilian Portuguese. Languages have always been one of my passions, and they’ve allowed me to connect with people from very different backgrounds.
Besides engineering, I’m involved in specialty coffee and music. I’ve been DJing and producing music for many years, and I also run coffee projects that have taken me from coffee farms in Colombia to restaurants and hotels on the French Riviera.
I’ve travelled quite a bit over the years, and what I enjoy most isn’t really tourism, but discovering how people live, sharing meals, learning from others and having interesting conversations.
People usually describe me as calm, curious and independent. I appreciate clean and organized spaces, and I’m happy to help wherever I can. Whether it’s cooking, gardening, taking care of animals, helping with technology, practicing languages or simply lending a hand, I enjoy being useful and sharing experiences.
I’m new to Workaway, but not to travelling or adapting to new environments. Looking forward to meeting new people and sharing a small chapter of life together.
🇫🇷Français
Bonjour, je m’appelle Diego. Je suis colombien et je vis actuellement sur la Côte d’Azur.
Je suis ingénieur et je travaille à distance pour une société américaine. Je suis titulaire d’un visa Passeport Talent français, ce qui signifie que je suis légalement autorisé à vivre et travailler en France. En attendant la délivrance de ma carte de séjour, je ne pourrai pas quitter le pays pendant quelque temps. Je me suis donc dit que Workaway serait une belle façon de continuer à découvrir de nouveaux endroits et à rencontrer des personnes intéressantes.
Je parle couramment le français et l’anglais, ainsi que l’espagnol, l’italien, le russe et le portugais brésilien. Les langues ont toujours été une passion pour moi et m’ont permis de rencontrer des personnes de cultures très différentes.
En parallèle de mon métier d’ingénieur, je m’investis dans le café de spécialité et la musique. Je suis DJ et producteur depuis de nombreuses années, et je développe également des projets autour du café, qui m’ont amené des fermes colombiennes jusqu’aux restaurants et hôtels de la Côte d’Azur.
J’ai beaucoup voyagé, et ce que j’apprécie le plus, ce n’est pas vraiment le tourisme, mais la découverte du quotidien des gens, les repas partagés, les discussions intéressantes et les différentes façons de vivre.
On me décrit généralement comme quelqu’un de calme, curieux et autonome. J’apprécie les espaces propres et bien organisés, et je serai heureux de donner un coup de main là où il y a besoin. Cuisine, jardin, animaux, informatique, langues ou simplement une paire de bras supplémentaire, j’aime me rendre utile et partager des expériences.
Je débute sur Workaway, mais pas dans les voyages ni dans l’adaptation à de nouveaux environnements. Au plaisir de faire de belles rencontres et de partager un petit bout de chemin ensemble. -
