Description
I got tired of the corporate world and a demanding career, so leaving it all behind, I decided to travel throughout the world, experiencing what every country has to offer.
I had been doing house sitting, couchsurfing, helpX and wwoof and I been loving every minute of it. Obviously, I want to do more, hence: workaway.
I speak fluent English, and Spanish, Intermediate French, and I have good comprehension of Portuguese and Italian, even that I can only speak them slowly. Right now I am learning Bulgarian.

I stayed at Gassab’s place in Little Petra for 5 days. He is a nice guy, friendly and a great cook. He is not living at his cave right now. He is in a house in the village, is a real Bedouin home, very nice. You are a short walk away from Little Petra’s ruins, which are gorgeous. Petra is 1.5 hrs walking.

Cristina is one of the best volunteers I ever had.
I was in the hospital for a week and Cristina was at the hostel all by herself and did everything that was needed day and night and never complained.
Besides, she is a very nice, friendly and smiley person.
Hope you return soon.
