Description
Hello! My name is Jacob. I have lived all over the United States - New York, Florida, and Washington DC to name a few! I was working in Florida at a University as the Coordinator of Campus Recreation. I recently quit that job to explore South America! I am very excited to volunteer to meet more people and practice my spanish which I am motivated to improve. I love anything to do with the outdoors: hiking, biking, running, swimming, etc. I really enjoy doing workaways since they give me an opportunity to understand the country I am in better than just regular traveling.

Quelles sont vos compétences ?
Overall I am an extremely hard worker. My personality is very organised, timely, polite, and friendly.

I have developed great customer service skills, most of my jobs have had some component of it being customer service oriented. These jobs that were customer service oriented are the following: Coordinator of Campus Recreation (New College of Florida, Florida USA), Volunteer Coordinator (The Food Depot, New Mexico USA), Waiter (Qui Mill, Cambridge UK), Front Desk Staff (Chevy Chase Athletic Club, Washington DC USA) to name a few.

I also have to work with spreadsheets, scheduling platforms, and the like so adapting to your technology system should not be a problem. Also I am happy to do any manual labor, when I was working as a Volunteer Coordinator I had to lift heavy bags and boxes of food every day.

I also have experience managing staff. I would be happy to take on any leadership roles that were available.

Laissé par le workawayer (Jacob) pour l'hôte (Help our NGO battling ...)

I had an amazing experience with Sergio, Esther, Romi and all the other people who came by (workers, neighbor's, family, friends). I really felt like I got to experience living in Cordoba since Sergio often had other people around and therefore I was introduced to many members of the community which was amazing. I stayed for 3 weeks.

Work hours:… read more Work is from 9 AM to 2 PM (Monday through Friday). Sometimes he stopped us early.

Bedroom: I had a room all to myself which was amazing. There is a small fan that you can use for the heat because it is often very hot in Cordoba. There is no air conditioning in the rooms (although in the house and common area there is and Sergio sometimes turns it on if its a very hot day)

# of Volunteers: Normally there are no more than 2 volunteers there at a time.

Kitchen / provided meals: The kitchen is well equipped for doing all the cooking you would like. Sergio buys breakfast for you which is jam and crackers. You also get a nice full lunch after your days work Monday through Friday. Sometimes the volunteers cook and sometimes Esther cooks. Lunch is at 2 PM but often Sergio stopped the day early and we ate earlier.

The type of work: The work was simple packing books that were sold so they can go out for the mail. If there is a lot of help that day or you finish with packaging all the books you then do work around the house such as moving stuff, painting, organizing, fixing stuff, etc.

Location: The location is close enough to the center of the city where you can get in by walking 40 to 50 minutes or take the bus in.

Spanish: This is a wonderful place to practice your spanish since they do not know almost any english. I improved my spanish a lot during this time since we spoke the whole time in spanish. If you do not speak spanish you can still try to do this volunteering since the work does not need too much explanation and there is google translate BUT it is a much better experience if you have atleast a little bit of spanish.

Wifi: Good for video calls. I took many video calls for work. Wifi does not reach every bedroom though.

Bathrooms: There are 2 shared bathrooms and they both have showers. There is hot water.

Also there is an amazing view from his house. Every day seeing the sunset or sunrise over the city was amazing.

Gyms: There isn't really a gym super close to the house. I think its probably like 1.5 to 2 kilometers away which is not terrible. I went to a crossfit gym that was 2.5 kilometers away.

I had a lovely experience working at the project. I want to give an updated review of this project because reading some of the most recent reviews do not give you the right overview. Additionally I feel like the profile on Workaway has not been updated since 2013 so by reading the reviews and the profile it gave me a slightly incorrect perception… read more
