I am currently doing a workaway in Ibiza. Looking for company to do volunteer work together, hike, and explore the area :)
Description
Hello everyone,
I am Nicolas, I am 47 years old, from Chile and I'm on a trip that I have dreamed of for many years. My main motivation to participate as a volunteer in Workaway is to discover new places, to live adventures and meet new friends from all over the world, learning about their lifestyles and culture, widen my horizon and get out of my comfort zone.
I speak native Spanish, fluent English and intermediate French.
I am an architect and audio engineer and I combined both passions building my own recording studio where I have been working for a few years. I have also dabbled in luthiery and have participated in several local bands, playing the electric bass.
I love to work with my hands and my main skill and passion is to learn, whether it's a new language, a new skill, a new sport or any other opportunity I come across.
I consider myself a friendly and sociable person, who also enjoys his time alone :)

Quelles sont vos compétences ?
I would really like to learn more about sustainable construction in wood and adobe (I already have some experience). I love wood crafts in general, since I also have some experience as a luthier (I have hand built 7 electric basses). I have knowledge in design, architecture, audio, photo and video software, although I can easily learn any program if I put my mind to it. I love recording and editing audio of any kind, which is what I currently do. I really enjoy doing home repairs like plumbing, electricity, carpentry and painting.

Nicolas was a very quiet and respectful addition to our family and we really enjoyed his company and his time with us.
He was hardworking, willing to try new things and is skilled and meticulous with DIY projects. He was also willing to help with regular household tasks when that was needed and was very tidy and conscientious.

Nicolas is a very pleasant person to live with: calm, discrete, with a very fine sense of humor. He is one of the rare persons who not only know to speak but also to listen.

She gives compliments but is also very demanding about the work at hand. She has infinite knowledge about life, politics, history, languages, music, cinema, plants, etc., and she will gladly… read more

The volunteer house is very comfortable, independent, well equipped and with a really nice terrace to spend the afternoons working or just relaxing.

Es una persona muy respetuosa, comprometida, responsable y puntual. Dentro de las tareas realizadas por Nico están las de recepcionista y personal de limpieza, todas realizadas correctamente. Gracias Nico.
