My Next Workaway Dream
After having volunteered at multiple permaculture-style farms, in Hawaii, Germany, and Mexico, I 've noticed a prevalent focus on restoring the land and growing organic food at the expense of attractiveness.
Attractiveness of workspaces, storage areas, patios, kitchens, and much more.
My next Workaway goal is to help my host to re-set - at zero cost - the practices and mindsets which lead to unattractive common spaces.
As someone with a permaculture certification, as well as professional experience in luxury hotels AND in human resources, I can help Workaway hosts bring things to the next level.
As a financially independent (and extremely healthy & youthful) retiree, I want nothing more in life than to be of service and share my gifts to those who can use them.
Traveling through Mexico - with my carpentry tools, healthy cookware, and natural bedding - isn't easy or cheap. But as a permanent resident here, it's a privilege and a joy. I stay at properties as long as there is useful work to do and I have found many such places through word-of-mouth.
I would be misrepresenting myself if I said that I never had conflicts or differences of opinion with some of my hosts. Competence sometimes looks like arrogance. But I can say with 100% sincerity, that even when certain rides have been bumpy, I have always put friendship and humility above all else, and have never burned any bridges.
Since moving to Mexico in 2020 I have led an informal life-coaching group of young adults. For obvious reasons, much of our round-table dialogue has been conducted remotely, and in recent months, one of my spiritual brothers, Juanpa, has been traveling with me. We are now involved in our third Workaway adventure together.
And last, but hardly least, I travel with my precious, extremely friendly guardian angel, a Beagle/Spaniel mix named Fila.
**Mi Próximo Sueño en Workaway**
Después de haber sido voluntario en varias granjas de estilo permacultura en Hawái, Alemania y México, he notado un enfoque muy común: restaurar la tierra y cultivar alimentos orgánicos… a costa de la **estética**.
La estética de los espacios de trabajo, áreas de almacenamiento, patios, cocinas, y mucho más.
Mi próximo objetivo en Workaway es ayudar a mi anfitrión a **reconfigurar** —sin ningún costo— las prácticas y mentalidades que conducen a espacios comunes poco atractivos.
Como persona con una certificación en permacultura, además de experiencia profesional tanto en hoteles de lujo como en recursos humanos, puedo ayudar a los anfitriones de Workaway a **llevar sus proyectos al siguiente nivel**.
Como jubilado financieramente independiente (y extremadamente sano y juvenil), no quiero nada más en la vida que **servir y compartir mis dones** con quienes puedan aprovecharlos.
Viajar por México —con mis herramientas de carpintería, utensilios saludables para cocinar y ropa de cama natural— no es fácil ni barato. Pero como residente permanente aquí, es un privilegio y una alegría. Me quedo en las propiedades mientras haya trabajo útil por hacer, y he encontrado muchos lugares así gracias a recomendaciones de boca en boca.
Estaría mintiendo si dijera que nunca he tenido conflictos o diferencias de opinión con algunos de mis anfitriones. La competencia a veces se confunde con arrogancia. Pero puedo decir con **100% sinceridad** que, incluso cuando el camino ha sido difícil, siempre he puesto la amistad y la humildad por encima de todo, y **nunca he quemado ningún puente**.
Desde que me mudé a México en 2020, he dirigido un grupo informal de coaching de vida para jóvenes adultos. Por razones obvias, gran parte de nuestro diálogo en mesa redonda ha sido de manera remota, y en los últimos meses, uno de mis hermanos espirituales, Juanpa, ha estado viajando conmigo. Actualmente estamos viviendo nuestra tercera aventura Workaway juntos.
Y por último, pero para nada menos importante, viajo con mi preciosa y extremadamente amigable ángel guardián, una perrita mezcla de Beagle y Spaniel que se llama **Fila**.Interessengebiete
