Description

Hi, my name is Nate and I'm excited to join this WorkAway community. I've lived in The California Central Valley for the most part of my life. I’m a passionate adventure-seeking individual. I'm an avid hiker and backpacker love nature. I live around 4 National Parks within 2 hours drive. I love to travel and enjoy exploring new places. I have traveled (mostly road trip across 45 states) the United States multiple times and visited most of the National Parks and National Monuments. I consider Yosemite National Park to be my backyard and love to climb Half Dome I have climbed it 55 times. I'm a diehard Buffalo Bills fan and travel to Buffalo once a year to attend a game. I value creativity, having an open mind and spirit. Traveling to new places where I can engage in different communities and cultures. Have been to Canada, Mexico, Costa Rica, France, United Kingdom, Spain and Portugal. I have walked 6 Caminos across France, Spain and Portugal. Walked the Camino de Costa Rica from the Caribbean to the Pacific. I'm looking for an opportunity where I can connect with the host, family and community. Contribute and learn new things about your culture, lifestyle and the working opportunities you're providing and needing help with it. I’m pretty handy and not afraid to help out and get involved with the locals and the community.
