Looking forward to start travelling around Norway in September. I don't have any plans quite yet, but I'd like to travel somewhere with unique experiences, including outdoor and cultural activities.

Description

Hello!

My name is Miguel, and I will soon graduate with my Master's in Belgium, studying politics. About two years ago, I tried Workaway for the first time after my exchange year in Montreal. I loved every moment of my 10-week summer adventure. I travelled to Vancouver, the Sunshine Coast, and finally Haida Gwaii. This year I am looking to have a similar experience somewhere new.

A little about me:

I'm originally from Spain. However, during my childhood, I had the opportunity to live in different countries. For instance, I lived in the Bahamas for 6 years. This has helped me develop a love for travelling and exploring new places. I enjoy spending time outdoors, hiking, camping, swimming, and my newfound love for canoeing (which I tried for the first time in Canada). I also love reading and playing sports.

I am a curious, thoughtful and fun person. I enjoy spending time with others, but I'm also able to focus and be dedicated when I set my mind to something. I have spent my past three summer breaks working in the hospitality sector, having spent the first two working at a 4-star hotel in the popular summer destination of Puerto Banús in Southern Spain.

Quelles sont vos compétences ?

During my summer breaks, I have gained a lot of experience in a wide variety of jobs. I have previous experience in the hospitality sector. For two summers, I have worked in the front office of a 4-star hotel in Puerto Banús, Marbella, Spain. The year before that, I worked as a lifeguard at a nearby swimming pool.

As I mentioned above, I have experience with Workaway, as I spent three months with three different hosts in Canada. During this time, I helped with different tasks around the house, like splitting wood, cleaning, weeding, gardening, and other tasks. In my last workaway, I stayed at a glamping site. This work involved general housekeeping and cleaning duties, gardening, and assisting clients with their various needs, including helping them through the check-in process. I also worked last year as a retail assistant at a large clothes shop near my hometown.

Other skills that I possess that are relevant include animal care. I enjoy spending time with animals as my family has owned many pets. Moreover, during high school, I volunteered at an animal shelter where I helped walk dogs outdoors. My family has a garden, and alongside my mother, we have enjoyed growing different fruits and vegetables. While the garden has had its ups and downs, I was proud this year to harvest fruit from a tree that I grew from seed.

I also love spending time outdoors, especially hiking. I did the Camino in 2016 with my mom, and it was especially important for her as Santiago (the final destination) is where she was born. When I lived in the Bahamas, we went on several trips to neighbouring islands. On one of these trips, we hiked for three days and camped along the sea. More recently, I went on a canoe-camping trip near Montreal with lots of portaging.
