Travel information

I am currently

Description

I am Jake. I have many different interests, but I primarily love to experience the beauties of God’s creation. I surf, kitesurf, hike, mountain bike, and many other such things — but the last few years my desire for those hobbies has somewhat diminished. I have learned to love slowing down, walking with God, and enjoying the peace of His presence. I now love to read and go on long walks.

I am leaving the US out of a desire to grow in wisdom. A quote from Augustine of Hippo planted a seed in me a while back — something along the lines of: “The world is a book, and those who do not travel read only one page.” So here I am.

I tend to prefer keeping to myself, working with my own hands, and minding my own business — but I love deep and meaningful conversation.

While I ran a side business in the States called “Jake of All Trades” — handling furniture delivery, junk removal, moving, and general handyman work — my deeper desire is to cultivate more rooted, practical skills: gardening, carpentry, farming, and the like. This is the type of work I find most pleasure in.

My ultimate goal, Lord willing, is to find a beautiful wife, raise many well-raised children, and live a life that is largely self-sustaining. God had Adam till the garden and name the animals in paradise (Genesis 2:15) — it seems to me that following those footsteps is a wise move.

More details about your skills

I am the Jake of All Trades — I can do a bit of everything, and as long as I have the time and space to work, I can figure things out. This is especially true when I have access to AI tools, which I use regularly to problem-solve and learn on the fly.

I genuinely love learning, so an ideal environment for me is one where I’m being taught valuable, practical life skills. I ran my own handyman business back in the States doing furniture delivery, junk removal, moving, and general repairs — so I’m no stranger to hard work, heavy lifting, and getting things done without being told twice.
