Descrição

*Just finish my studies, trying to settle down in Spain and France. While I achieve it, I would love to do a volunteering and some cultural exchange to learn more a bout catalan culture!

Hello there!

I'm 29 years old, born and raised in the city of the eternal spring: Medellín, Colombia. I finished a bachelor's as a chemical engineer in Colombia, worked for a bit, moved out to Europe and recently finished a master's in marine biotechnology. I have moved quite a lot the last two years while finishing my studies, and I have enjoyed a lot the travel and cultural exchanges all around. Now that I've finished, I am trying to find my place in Spain after the studies. I would like to take the time to learn more about the catalan culture and settle a bit while I can define my next steps.

I like to practice sports, travel, learn new languages (french, italian, dutch, portuguese), and get to know different cultures. Traveling with Workaway has proven to be the perfect match for me, and I can't imagine a way of traveling that I enjoy more. I love it so much because of the cultural learning and the connections that come with it. I am fortunate enough to have established real friendships with the host families that I have had.

I am pretty much open to helping in what I can. I get along with children very easily, so I do pretty well in babysitting, though I'm just learning how things work with babies. I can also teach Spanish and English to a good level (not a professional teacher though). I can cook, help in the house, and in general help with all kinds of stuff if there's somebody who can teach me how (I'm willing to learn about everything! I love to learn). I have helped as basketball coach for a while, and worked in the coffee and seaweed sectors so far, so if you're ever curious about any of those, happy to talk about it!

I used to play basketball all the time when I was younger. Now I try to stay sporty by running and playing basketball from time to time. I am curious about other sports that are not so common in my hometown, and so far I have tried snowboarding, surfing, climbing, and sailing, which I have enjoyed very much (I am still learning the basics though). Also, I have recently learned to dive and I fell in love with the sport. I would love to practice them more! Now that my life will be tied to the sea, I would love to have some experiences sailing or enjoying life close to the sea.

On a personal level, each day I try to learn from the lessons life gives. I like to think that I'm a curious man. I try to be interested a lot in the world that surrounds me and I have a special interest in the ways of thinking of different people, different cultures, religions, philosophies, etc. I consider myself very calm, easygoing, honest, and responsible.

As a personal philosophy, I view life as a trip and happiness as a way of travel. Therefore, I try to enjoy the most out of every experience that I have.

Feel free to ask any question you might have, I hope to see you soon!

Quais são suas habilidades?

I have been a children's basketball trainer, where we had to train about 60 kids a day and I truly enjoyed the experience. So, I believe this shows that I have the ability to teach. I also have practice in babysitting-childcare (I usually get along very easily with the kids), language practice, helping with computers, and some DIY projects.

I consider that I learn things quickly so I should be able to help with all kinds of things if someone can teach me first how to do them. Most of all, I have the will and eagerness to learn, which I think is very important in anything you do.

I'm no chef, but I have some experience cooking. I'd love to learn recipes from other places. I know how to make beers and wines ;)

----------------------------------------------------------------------

He sido entrenador de baloncesto de niños, allí estuve en contacto con unos 60 niños al día y de verdad disfruté mucho la experiencia. Creo que esto muestra que tengo la habilidad de enseñar. También tengo experiencia en el cuidado de niños (normalmente me la llevo bien con ellos rápido), práctica de lenguajes, ayudando con computadores y algunos proyectos caseros con madera y DIY.

Considero que aprendo las cosas rápido así que debería poder ayudar en todo tipo de cosas si hay alguien que pueda enseñarme primero cómo hacerlas. Principalmente, tengo las ganas de aprender, lo cual creo es muy importante en cualquier cosa que uno hace.

No soy chef, pero tengo alguna experiencia cocinando, me gustaría mucho aprender recetas de otros lugares. Sé hacer cervezas y vinos ;)
