  • Description

    Hello!

    My name is Joe Dantoni and I am a naturopathic medical student from Maryland and studying at the National University of Natural Medicine in Portland Oregon. I am currently taking a year of absence from school to focus on traveling, a small online business I cofounded and enjoying the world before I complete my program.

    I love learning (about pretty much everything), nature, interacting with people, food, exercise and have been learning to love meditation.

    More details about my language interests
    I was in the IB program (international program) in highschool and have taken Spanish classes fo rmost of my life. That being said it was always the class I felt the worst at and least confident in. I would say that my Spanish level is beginner right now but I believe if I was in a Spanish speaking place, I would become an intermediate speaker relatively quickly. I am always down to learn new languages but it will definitely be out of my comfort zone

  • More details about your skills

    What do you need?

    I very consider myself a Jack of all (most) trades, master of none (yet).

    I have worked all sorts of jobs:
    - Landscaping (my dad was a landscaper growing up but I worked 3 summer seasons for a professional company)
    - Marine construction (about 6 months)
    - Assistant manager at a retailer (1 year)
    - ACSM certified personal trainer
    - CPR certified
    - Waiter/server (multiple summers)
    - Co-founder of a small digital solutions provider, so I can help with social media or other tech-related jobs
    - Bachelors in Exercise Science from Salisbury University, Maryland.
    - Currently enrolled in the Naturopathic Medical Program (ND) at National University of Natural Medicine in Portland Oregon

    I would say the only job I would be semi-reserved about is a cook because I have not done it in a work/professional environment before. However, I do know how to cook alkaline/vegetarian meals and know my eay around a kitchen.

    I would consider myself a fast and eager learner so any type of manual or intellectual labor I am happy to help with.

  • Age

    27

  • What else ...

    I'm a cofounder of a small digital solutions provider so I have a flexible schedule but will need internet access unfortunately.

    I forgot to mention that I love laughing and joking around light heartedly.

    I am interested in getting out of my comfort zone and build community around the world.

    My goal is to co-create positive experiences and I would like to change the negative perception people have about American travelers. I am coming to work/help when asked, learn new perspectives and exchange good energy with the people I meet/places I go.
