Beschreibung

Hello! I'm Scott. I'm 32 years old and I was born and raised in Florida. I'm very much a go with the flow type of guy. Most people would describe me as a relaxed, easy going person who loves being out in nature (hiking, camping, biking, kayaking, you name it). At the same time however, I am also driven by a sense of adventure, learning new things and also by particular goals and visions.
At the moment I am really interested in learning spanish and experiencing different cultures throughout central and south America.
I have a passion for the outdoors and the natural environment, with its seemingly endless variety of flora and fauna. Accompanying this love is a desire to protect it. I had always thought that doing work as a scientist was the best way to contribute to preserving the balance between society and the natural world. However, upon obtaining a degree in Environmental Biology, I realized that the greatest way in which we can make a difference is to transform our own lives into a more sustainable one and to help others do the same.
Since then, I have been learning all that I can. From building sustainable structures, to producing food in a way that regenerates the environment. I have also learned about permaculture design principals back to nature approach in creating harmonious systems and this has further inspired me to live sustainably. I hope to one day create a sustainable property of my own (somewhere in the tropics) built around permaculture principals that is able to support not only myself, but friends and family as well.

Was könntest du arbeiten?

Work experience:
I have worked as a cashier and in a cash office during college.
I have also had jobs installing solar panel systems and water treatment systems and have gained valuable handyman experience with plumbing and electrical.

Volunteer experience:
I have worked on three different farms in Hawai'i. Caring for plants, harvesting, composting, and managing pests.

In Costa Rica I worked on a vacation property called Bali Rica in which I kept up with maintenance and repairs of the property, fixing doors, fences, sanding and varnishing cabins etc.

In Colombia I volunteered at an english school (New Western) as an english teacher where I planned and tought lessons and monitored students progress.
Also in Colombia I volunteered at casa de las palmas hostel in which I worked as a receptionist and as a translator for tour guides in the amazon jungle.

In México, I have volunteered in two hostels (Barrio Vivo in Merida and Puerto Vieja in San Cristobal). I have worked reception, cleaned bedrooms and bathrooms, changed beds, worked night shifts and entertained guests.

I have some but even less experience in carpentry (recently built a floating dock on my own as a fun small project, a picture of it is on my profile!) and I would love more experience in this area.

I have worked several years at a grocery store and have gained costumer service experience from that. I also have an intermediate level of spanish but I am not fluent in the language (yet). I love any chance to improve my spanish.
I am more than willing to learn and help out with things that I am new to as well!
