Description
Hi, I'm David. I just recently finished my Bachelors in Fine Arts majoring in sculpture and minoring in Art History. I am excited to take my first trip across to Europe and am looking forward to using workaway to meet new people and enjoy new experiences. I would say I am an adventurous person who is always up for any kind of new experience. I enjoy the adrenaline rush of white water rafting or bungee jumping but also relaxing by the lake or taking a hike.
