The Experience

I am a Montevideano who studies and works as a lifeguard. I always try to be in movement and to share moments of learning and teaching. So, the idea is to help me out and to do fun things, always with humor and good vibes. It could be painting, woodworking, picking leaves from the garden, and much more. I have a beautiful garden, with many plants! Come to see it :)

We had a great time at Sebastian's place. He made us feel at home at his place, invited us on bbq and hang out's with his friends, showed us a lot of different things to do around in Montevideo, definitely a good host and the perfect way to enjoy the city. Working hours are really flexible and gives u more than enough free time to relax and explore the surrounding as well. So with No doubt- I recommend!! 😃😃

Sebastian is a great host !! We been able to meet some of his friends, around a barbecue, a football match etc. This is probably the best way to discover Montevideo. The working hours are flexible, the environment is perfect. You need to be a bit proactive because there's a lot of different things to do there, up to u to find the mission you want to help with. I highly recommend

I had a very good time in Montevideo. The house is very simple but nice and the host is very friendly and likes to share experiences and to introduce you to the local culture and teaching you some Spanish. The work is not very hard and long and you can work whenever you want. The working climate is very good. If you have no problem with staying in a simple house you will have a great time with this volunteer work!

Sebastián fue un gran anfitrión, muy flexible, muy buena persona, me ayudó siempre que lo necesité... en definitiva, volvería sin dudarlo. Las horas de trabajos son flexibles y las tareas muy entretenidas. Sebastián te hace sentir como si fuera tu casa y deja a tu elección lo que quieras hacer. Siempre que pudo me invito al cumpleaños de algún amigo suyo a conocer la zona. Siento que me llevo un amigo de esta experiencia, me siento muy agradecido.
