Description

Not traveling at the moment but looking for potential hosts and unique experiences from September 2024 - March 2025.

Hello! My name is Tim and I am a long-time traveler always seeking new experiences! I'm always striving to learn something new and Workaway has given me so many great skills over the years. I live in Alaska and work as a boat captain and fishing guide, so I love a good adventure!

This year I'm focusing on my Italian fluency. I have been studying Italian for about two years and I've attended several immersive programs in Italy. I speak at a B1 level and I'm able to function in the language almost entirely at this point. I would love to spend my time immersed in the language while I offer my skills and learn some new ones! Puoi contattarmi e comunicare con me in italiano se preferisci.

I have many skills you'll see below, many taken from Workaway projects in the past. I am proficient, safe, and tidy with tools, handiwork, fixing and building things or making broken things work. I have lived and traveled in many places around the United States as well as a modest list of other countries around the world, mostly in Europe and Asia and I'm no stranger to Workaway and I understand the importance of clear communication. I am a highly flexible, tidy, respectful, enthusiastic and positive person with many stories and positivity to bring to you! I also love to cook and try to learn new techniques everywhere I go.

I live in Alaska and have worked in tourism for ten years, now I work as a boat captain & charter fisherman in the summer. Alaska is an unforgiving place and I have learned countless skills over the years and we very much have a "figure out how to make anything work" attitude up there. I also work as a camera technician in TV broadcast as a side job. In Alaska we have a growing tourism industry and I have worked for years as a lead kayak/bicycle/hiking/fishing guide, business operator, office manager and maintenance person so I have a multitude of skills surrounding tourism, professionalism and hospitality.

***In the case of any paid positions, I am a US and EU dual citizen so I have the right to work and reside in the EU.
