Greetings!
A couple of years ago I decided that I needed to start doing all the things I said I would do, if I wasn't stuck in a factory 60 hours a week.
So I quit my job, packed my bags, and headed out.
I'm new to WorkAway but have been on W.P. for awhile!
I'm always interested in solo jobs with wifi.
I enjoy teaching and tutoring English.
I'm good with dogs and I feel like I want to be around horses now, lol. Is that a thing?
In my free time I like to keep to myself, doing music production, writing, and exploring.Interests

TEACHING:A few years ago I was certified to Teach English as a Second or Other Language.I did some student teaching and curriculum development.I've done English tutoring for children on a previous work exchange.All hostel work exchanges I've done have resulted in impromptu English classes during free time.I enjoy watching people learn. LEARNING:While in a country I actively try learning the language.With that being said, my DuoLingo is a mess:Portuguese, Spanish, Dutch, Swedish, Italian, Korean, and even Esperanto.I have a 2+ year streak. I may not be consistent on what I'm trying to learn, but I'm consistently learning.Icelandic also makes the cut sometimes on other apps.Skills and knowledge I'd like to share or learn

Most of my professional experience has been in metal fabrication. But, I have zero interest in doing that. I was a floor supervisor in two different departments in my last job.
I've been on both ends of delegation. The most important thing is completing the task so the customer is happy, I don't believe in 'that's not my job'.
I have worked in restaurants, as a server, cook, dishwasher, and a bartender (licensed in the state of WI).
Through work exchanges I have mainly done hostel work. This includes, reception, reception assistant, housekeeper, laundry, breakfast prep, guest accommodations, and planning night life activities.
I have also done English tutoring.
I'm also looking to learn new skills and build upon the ones I have.Age

What else ...
I've mainly done hostel work, because it is good way to meet a lot of interesting people.
I'd like to start doing more English teaching / tutoring.
I have a hankering to work with horses in Central or South America!
WiFi is critical. It would be nice if it wasn't, but at this point in my life I do need it on a daily basis.
Places I've done work exchanges:
*London, UK (hostel)
*Milan, Italy (English Tutor)
*Ubatuba, Brazil (housekeeping, gardening, animal care)
*Malmö, Sweden (housekeeping)
*Truth or Consequences, New Mexico, USA (maintenance, building repair and renovation)
*Hanga Roa, Easter Island (hostel)
*São Pedro de Iracema, Brazil (English, misc.)
