Description

Hello to everyone, my name is Emerson and I am 22 years old from Minnesota (USA).

I think Workaway will be a great way for me to broaden my horizons and learn about the world with its many different cultures and ways of life, as well as get me out of my comfort zone. I think traveling is one of the greatest teachers and I want to make this large world feel smaller.

I know some of the basics of constructing small buildings. I built a tiny house with my father who taught me a lot about framing, insulation, and how to install roofing, etc. I've also helped my mother in our large garden since I was a kid so there would be no issue doing that sort of work either. I have operated tractors in the past so I have some knowledge with that and h
also built fences, renovated rooms, and done landscaping projects.

I like to exercise and do almost any physical activity outside in nature, hiking, biking, kayaking are all great ways to spend my time. Physical work doesn't bother me as long as I eat enough food. I also really like doing creative things such as drawing, painting, and participating with others on a project. Some other hobbies of mine include reading, and language learning!

More details about your skills

I've helped build a tiny house on wheels last spring that helped me understand the basics of small building construction, not an expert but willing to learn more

I also have my private pilots license but I know that wouldn't be useful on a farm but I think it has made me a better problem solver and planner. I have operated diesel garden tractors when I worked for my states Department of Natural Resources.
