Description

Matthew:
One of my biggest motivations in life is the desire to experience many different perspectives of the world through the eyes of many different people. This is one of my main reasons for traveling. I enjoy learning about different ways to live. Working in many different industries helps accomplish the goal of learning different ways to live. I enjoy being active through yoga, rock climbing, skateboarding. I was a cook/chef for many years and love to cook for people that are appreciative of food as I feel it always brings people from different backgrounds to a common ground. I am a very passionate and caring person that is accepting of all types of people and perspectives. Hope to meet you soon!

Clint:
Life is one big learning experience, and I believe everyone has something to offer that could benefit another person's life. Being open minded is the key to gaining knowledge and having new experiences. For the past 8 years, I have enjoyed traveling to various countries around the world. My main focus has been to backpack the world's most scenic landscapes and to get a glimpse into the lives of indigenous people living remotely. I am a very active person with lots of energy to tackle physical tasks but generally maintain a gentle and soft spoken demeanor, always with a smile on my face. I'm grateful to live a life of adventure and to meet new people from around the world. I have previous experience in landscaping and housekeeping, along with other general household tasks such as painting and basic assembly of furniture. Nonetheless, I am great at taking direction and any new skill learned will be done with pleasure. I look forward to meeting you soon!

More details about your skills

When I was growing up I had an obsession with food and cooking that continues to this day, this includes where food comes starting from the ground. I have been cooking in and out of restaurants since I was 15, have worked on organic farms and gardens as a farmhand on and off throughout my life, had a short stint as a stablehand for a circus in North America (before becoming their staff chef), blackjack dealer for a Hard Rock Casino, and tour guide for a National park in New Zealand. All in all I have a varied occupational background that gave me the ability to deal with people and also work well individually. I am fit and hardworking and driven and love helping people accomplish their dreams which is one of the reasons I am excited to find a fantastic work away opportunity.

I am an amateur geologist and gem dealer, quite literally obsessed with rocks and I always have a personal collection of my favorite minerals with me. I love to rockhound and mine and hope to do this in many countries. I love practicing card tricks and also have a collection of cards with me as well. Photography is a huge passsion of mine and I always carry my digitcal camera with me. In the last few years I have gotten into diving and snorkeling and even worked as a diver for a national park in New Zealand so I really love being near to beautiful open water. I am an amateur dj, love to play guitar and trumpet, and love to listen to different types of music from all over the world especially from indigenous cultures.
