Description
You speak German and Spanish fluently? Then this could be interesting for you!
We are a German travel agency spezialized in motorhome / camper-van tours in Latin America. Our customers come mostly from German speaking countries and drive their own vehicles. They are mostly retired but still open minded and adventurous.
Our longest trip is from Buenos Aires - Tierra del Fuego all the way up to the USA crossing Argentina, Chili, Bolivia, Peru, Ecuador, Columbia, Panama, Costa Rica, Nicaragua, Honduras, Guatemala, Belize and Mexico. We start every year at the end of October in Buenos Aires with two groups of 19 motorhomes /RVs and you can join our team to help us on the way!
Due to Covid the next tours will not start before October 2021.
You share a camper with one or two other people accompanying our tour members. You have your own bed, the motorhome is equipped with toilet, shower, kitchen, hot water, air conditioning but it is not a house so you should be comfortable with limited space!
You drive some of the most fascinating routes of our planet crossing the Andes at more than 4.000m, the Atacama desert, following the pacific Ocean. You change location almost every day, walking up with a different scenery every time lookoing at big mountains, palm fringed beaches...a real road trip!
Your tasks are helping the tourguides. You dont have to know the countries we are driving through but you should know the language! You should be fluent in German and Spanish, if you know some French even better, but not mandatory.
If you like the job and we are happy with your work we are more than happy to offer you a job during future trips as a member of our team.
Lot of the tasks have to do with the language, translating during excursions, making phone calls in Spanish, making and confirming reservations. If a clients gets sick or a motorhome has a mechanical problem you should accompany the clients and translate since they usually dont speak Spanish. You also also help with the accounting and maybe writing texts and pictures for the blog and facebook page and just create a good ambiance with the group (camp fire, barbecues etc.) It would be really appreciated if you can do the cooking. The kitchen is very well equipped.
You can join us for a couple of weeks (minimum for weeks) up to three months.
You have all expenses pays like accomodation and food. If you are not needed elsewhere you can join the excursions, city tours, boat trips etc and we will pay for it. The program ist very divers from archeological sites like Machu Picchu to trekking in Patagonia.
You should also be comfortable driving the motorhome but if not it is not mandatory.
If you have any special skills like playing an instrument feel free to tell us. If you are from one of the countries we are driving though you can tell our participants about your country, culture, food etc.
