Beschreibung

I´m Tim, I´m from Indianapolis in the United States, and now I´m getting back into Workaway after having stopped traveling for a few years. I am currently looking for a Workaway in central Mexico (probably around Mexico City) for February 2024.

Since my early 20´s it´s been one of my life dreams to be completely fluent in Spanish.

Something that I value greatly is meeting and connecting with others that are interested in the same hobbies as me:

1. I have very specific but passionate music interests. Certain musics I love, and certain ones I don´t care for at all. Mostly into underground stuff that the general population wouldn´t know of. I´m a wedding DJ for a living, and I love playing piano and guitar as well. I also produce music under the name Even Dwarfs Started Small. (https://soundcloud.com/even-dwarfs-started-small)

2. Language sharing, teaching and learning. Right now, this is mostly Spanish learning, and some English teaching. I started a language exchange meetup in Indianapolis to help keep my proficiency up and connect with others that also have a passion for English/Spanish [https://www.meetup.com/indy-language-exchange/]. I´d like to start a third language once my Spanish proficiency has reached C1 level.

3. Bicycling, cycle touring, and bike maintenance/repair. I´ve done a couple large bicycle tours in my life, and continue to commute cycle around Indianapolis. Cycling has been a significant part of my life for many years.

4. Meditation. I started dedicated daily meditation practice this year. I would like to find a Zen center in GDL and in other places in México.

5. Redneck engineering any cool DIY stuff. I built a camper van that I currently live out of (see photos). It was a very large undertaking that I´m very proud of. My favorite part of the whole build was creating the electrical system.

6. Dumpster diving. An upside of living in a country that wastes more than you can imagine is that you can find many things for free. It´s a fun cosmic grab bag each time I go to the dumpster, seeing what gifts the universe will bestow. It's how I get the majority of my food in the US. I don't plan on doing this in México.

Meeting other people that are also interested in these hobbies brings me much joy. However, I also enjoy more basic conversation and just being surrounded by kind, positive people.

As for the types of workaways I'm interested in, I enjoy hostal-type inner city workaways, as they allow me to meet a large amount of interesting people in a short amount of time. I also like DIY construction/building/electrical projects, as long as I vibe with the purpose and motivation behind the project. However, I will probably transition to looking for something more selvático after a while, perhaps in Oaxaca, which is an area of México I would like to explore. Right now, I´m open to whatever looks appealing.

Was noch ...

I'm really looking to experience cultures much different from the culture in the United States, and to connect with others and make great friends in Latin America. I love language, music, and great conversation, and I'm open-minded to try new things that life brings my way.
