About me

Hello, we are Rosario (from BA, Argentina) and Alfonso (from Santiago, Chile). We have been on the road for the past year visiting and doing Workaway in Mexico, the US and Europe. We really liked the experience so we decided to extend our travels and explore a new continent! Through Workaway we seek to learn and explore new cultures and make new friends around the globe!
We love everything that is related to music, arts, films, cultural events, sports & yoga, outdoor adventures, animals and food.
Alfonso has a solid background in Business and Administration, he is an Engineer and has worked in Marketing for the past 8 yrs. He is also great with his hands. Rosario has experience in hotel and event management and is into decoration and design. She has a degree in Journalism.
We are a super team, we are both very organised, laid back and we try to live a healthy lifestyle. We are passionate cooks.
Our Workaway experience is very varied:
- Hostel and B&B management. Reception, breakfast preparation/clean up, general cleaning/handyman duties, organising parties, events/activities and shared meals, gardening and negotiation of alliances/partnerships with tour operators, car rentals/taxi companies, bars and pubs, amongst other responsibilities.
-We worked with different hospitality softwares, helped with social media, community management and administration.
-Bartended in different hostels and bars in Mexico.
-Cooked dinner for 10 to 20 people on a daily basis (created and carried out the recipes)
-Helped rebuild and refurnish homes with All Hands and Hearts - Smart Response NGO in Louisiana.
-Carpentry, electricity, general building work, painting and carried out DYI ideas.
- Worked in a farm where we mostly did clearing and planting and learned about organic farming and products and used these skills to: help transform a store into an organic store, do kefir and kombucha, prepare cheese and other diary products.
- House and dog sitting in San Diego, California.
- Helped move houses in San Diego and Baltimore, USA.
If you think we can be of any help please do not hesitate to contact us. We are willing to give anything a go, no matter how big or small the job.
Hope to meet you at some point!
