Description
I do not value money as much as I value living and learning from new experiences. Workaway seemed the perfect way to do this, hence why I am here and you are reading my profile description. I am a 23 year old historian who has grown bored of his home. Although I'd say I am a simple man who enjoys nature and authentic work, things in short supply nowadays, I also love conversation and philosophy. Whether it be movies, books, or paintings, I love consuming and analyzing art. As for the happiness part, I am not yet certain, but hey that's why I am here!

More details about my language interests
I have helped teach English before as a second hand language, so with the right teacher I could expand upon that. Learning languages and retaining them is something I do find difficult, but whatever it may be I am ready to learn.

More details about your skills
I have worked a myriad of retail jobs in my teens, mostly related to food handling. At the present time I am working part time between a custom stucco job and crowd control security. Despite never having an official landscaping job, I always welcomed an opportunity to be outside and help various family members with yard work/projects. Even though none of my jobs correlate with my expertise, I am a History alumni of the University of Minnesota who specializes in Middle East and Global Affairs.
Age
24
What else ...
I used to play a plethora of board games/cards when I was kid, Chess being one of my favorites. I've always loved games because they mix a person's competitiveness with their personality. Other hobbies I enjoy include watching movies, sightseeing, and especially writing.

Here’s a warmer, more welcoming, and clearly **recommendatory** rewrite:

Eli spent three weeks with us, and during that time he was an enormous help, especially with tasks that would have been difficult for us to manage alone. One memorable example was tackling a very tall ladder to cut back ivy that had clearly set its sights on the sky! I… read more

Anna was the first host I stayed with through WorkAway, and she set the bar extremely high. I am usually pretty shy, but from the moment I got off the bus and met her, she was nothing but welcoming and hospitable. Whenever work needed to be done, Anna got straight to it and worked hard alongside you. Being out in the garden was always educational… read more

The time I had with Ranka and Ela was great! Ranka made delicious goat cream cheese and I enjoyed hearing about her life and family history growing up in Yugoslavia. Ela and I enjoyed many in-depth conversations that would carry on late into the evening, where she would share with me her great taste in culture/music. ¡Corazón de melon! Although… read more

It was a pleasure to host Eli for about 5 weeks at our place. He found his way into the daily routines very fast and he was always available to lend one or two of his hands to help out. He even did the exhausting jobs like weed whacking in steep areas with a smile on his face. He is a fast worker and learner too. Eli did a nice job with the… read more

The stay I had with Andi and Tanja was truly something special! I extended my stay by two weeks since the first three went by so quickly. They provide a private guest room for workawayers and Andi cooks a fantastically nutritious lunch every day. The work was varied and included cutting wood with an efficient saw machine, using a hawk and trowel… read more
