It was a great way to experience a little bit of local town life in Portugal. Santa Maria da Feira is a beautiful town. The work at the hostel (wich is amezing and new) is fairly easy and the staff was always nice, specially Carol, who is the coolets human being in this entire town.

About me as an author

viajandovivo.net

¡Hola! Soy Ariel. Emprendí mi viaje a finales del 2011 y lo documento en más de 100 relatos publicados en viajandovivo.net. Soy un emigrante empedernido y desde los 19 años he vivido y trabajado en 5 países y viajado por buena parte de Asia y Europa. De tanto viajar aprendí que viajar no es un colchón de rosas: muchas veces es un cachetazo del universo que te mueve los dientes. Hace poco publiqué mi primer libro: DesOriente, relatos de un viaje al sur de Asia (lo consiguen en https://mitienda.viajandovivo.net). Ademas, he escrito para varias revistas digitales como Otro Mapa e Intriper y soy co-creador de Alto Viaje, el podcast de viajes en español más escuchado de América Latina.

Background

Education

Tengo una licenciatura en comercio internacional pero desde enero de 2015 he estado viajando por el mundo, trabajando en restaurantes, bares y hoteles.

I have a university degree in international trade but since January 2015 I have been traveling around the world, mostly working in restaurants, bars, and hostels.

Work experience

Tengo más de 4 años de experiencia en el sector de hospitalidad. He trabajado como mozo, recepcionista, bartender, ayudante de cocina, bachero (lavaplatos), etc. En todos estos años he trabajado en Malasia, Alemania, Nueva Zelanda, Australia, Japón y Dinamarca, a veces como voluntario (a cambio de alojamiento) y a veces con visas Working Holiday.
Hablo inglés perfecto y mi lengua materna es español.

I have +4 years of experience in the hospitality industry. I have worked as a waiter, receptionist, bartender, kitchen hand, dishwasher, etc. This entire year, however, I have decided to focus all of my work on improving my bartending skills.
In the past years, I have worked in Australia, Malaysia, Japan, Germany, and Denmark. Sometimes as a volunteer (in exchange for accommodation) and sometimes with a Working Holiday Visa.
I speak near-perfect English, and my mother tongue is Spanish.

Travel experience

He viajado a más de 50 paises en 4 continentes. Más que nada alrededor de Asia y Europa.

I have traveled to more than 50 countries on 4 continents. Mostly around Asia and Europe, but I also lived in New Zealand, Australia, Denmark and Germany.
