Hi! I'm Michael, I cuff my jeans and I've never failed an online "are you human" test. Currently working in the Florida Keys, up for about anything after August. Our biography's out there, let's go!

Description

I am astounded by the broadness of life, each time I look out and see the horizon. That there is an edge of this world beyond which I know not what lies and grows, this is an idea that never fails to lift me. Humanity is fascinating to me; I believe every person is a book waiting to be opened, and there is SO much you can learn from stopping and talking with any stranger. New perspectives, facts, stories, the poetry of life; all to be gained from stepping up and opening your mind to the world. It's a dangerous business, going out your door...

More details about your skills

I have been a counselor, chaplain, and program director for the nonprofit Boy Scouts of America for many years, teaching Communication, First Aid, Sailing, Plant Knowledge, Cinematography, Environmental Science, Society, and much more, to kids ages 6-17 years old.

I have been a prep cook specializing in soups and sauces, I have been a server and bartender and enjoy the people-facing side of things.

I have worked hospitality in hostels and hotels, camps, and the like doing everything from reservations to marketing to housekeeping.

I grew up in a family of 9 and have babysat, nannied, and taught for my own and other families since I can remember.

The thing which interests me most about a situation is what I can learn from it, and what general good I may be able to leave behind when my time comes. I have never left a job in bad graces and will happily provide references for anything, if required.

Age

25

What else ...

I am a voracious reader, some of my favorite authors being Tolkien, Wodehouse, Austen, and Dumas. I am an actor and a great film buff, and I could talk for ages about what makes a classic. Though I'm no great intellect, languages are a favorite study of mine; I like seeing what goes into them. I enjoy being outdoors in all sorts of environments. I find peace and catharsis in cooking and putting things in order. :)
