Description
Hello!
My name is Marco Petterson, I am an 18-year-old living on the central coast of California. My hobbies include performing in plays/musicals, rock climbing, and photography. I am a hard worker who isn't afraid of manual labor and I love traveling and learning about cultures all across the world. I am fluent in English, and Spanish (I tutor in Spanish), and I can communicate decently in Italian and understand some Portuguese. I am looking for new experiences with new people, and I want to try everything at least once. I consider myself a low-maintenance traveller and I want to make connections with people by helping in any way I can.

I have experience as a chef and managing a restaurant, so I can work under stress very well.
