Description

Greetings!

After spending the past 4 years traveling around the US as an actor on stage, I am looking to get international and use some of my other skills to see the world! I am an adventurer at heart, always seeking the next trail, beach, or bar to explore and enjoy with the people I meet along the way. Having spent all my life in the United States, I feel it's time for me to get out and see places older with rich history and culture. My core values are humor, hard work, honesty, and fun so I intend to be a positive add to any workaway situation as both a worker and a friend!

I read constantly (fiction and nonfiction with big interests in philosophy, history, science fiction, and mythology), I enjoy immersing myself in the culture and the people I am surrounded by, and as a late 20-something I feel I have seen far too little of the world! Nothing thrills me like being found in a new geography, or seeing a landmark that has been around longer than my home country has been. I have spent the past ten years building a modest career as a stage actor and am so driven by stories of humanity and its idiosyncrasies, and look forward to seeing what incredible stories are told all around the world. I hope to travel and record these stories and eventually find a medium to tell them to others. I find the most joy through simple human connection and connecting to the grand spectacle that is nature and the human experience of it.

I have several years of experience as a laborer for a landscaping company so I am very familiar with gardens but am fascinated by the opportunity of getting to work on an actual farm and cultivate organically. I spent a year working in a scene shop (building sets for stage plays) so I know my way around basic construction and power tools, though I would not call myself an expert. I know how to paint, have worked in construction (mostly demolition, but I helped a friend remodel his home once), and consider myself a real jack-of-all-trades laborer with a passion for people, humor, and stories!

More details about my language interests
Always looking to pickup the basics of the languages that surround me! I intend to get a working knowledge of the local dialects of wherever I end up, but am by no means a polyglot. As an artist, I have a vast and poetic understanding of the English language and am happy to share its secrets with anyone willing to learn!

What else ...

I am a lifelong gamer of both video games and card games with a repertoire of options for fun nights in involving drinks or otherwise! I am also incredibly passionate about theatre and live arts and am constantly seeking performances to attend, so wherever I end up trust I will be locating live music for us to enjoy! A beer or glass of wine with a good view at the end of a long day of work is what I live for.

I am a hard worker and understand what manual labor entails and know that a day using my body to create, maintain, or develop an existing project is one of the most fulfilling ways to fill it.
