Description
Hello, my name is Wilson and thank you for visiting. I am an avid traveler who loves to take things slow, discover unique places and learn as much as I can. I work as a chef so I love discovering and trying new food. I also love photography, nature, and much more. I love using workaway to connect with locals, and learn about local areas while experiencing as much as I can. I have worked in over 15 hostels around the world often working in reception but also cooking, construction, gardening and other activities.
