Travelling
*️️Currently in USA*️️

I'm originally from the Southern US, been traveling for about 14 years now working a wide variety of adventure jobs.
I'm a sucker for cooking shows (especially solid baking shows), sarcastic wit, adventure sports, animals, board games (Watch out Jimmy Fallon!), and solid Talk Story time.
Wait....that sounds like I'm on a Dating Show...er, uhm...haha. I love to joke. Get use to it.
I try to live where I travel to really get a feel for the culture I am submersed in, versus being the overlooked tourist.
I do my best to respect local customs/religions/traditions, etc and being open-minded to anything that occurs when traveling.
I cherish those moments when locals open their homes to you and share ancient wisdom, stories, and folklore.
From free hotel rooms, villas, and tours from bumping into the right stranger, to cancelled flights due to volcanoes, being detained by security (oops!), power outages, and clown-car experiences lasting 12+ hours.
I spend as much time outdoors as I can, especially in the water or climbing. If you know of a special spiritual ceremony that is specific to the region/people I am visiting, I will be your best friend for the day. (like giving-a-dog-a-belly-rub, happy), that logic also applies to taking me to any new litter of baby animals.
I will always problem-solve, sometimes too-much, and bust my arse at my job. I am self-sufficient and motivated, but do well when given a task to complete or clear direction. (at least initially to get a feel for the new environment and what you expect) I was raised to have a solid work-ethic when it comes to employers and can honestly say I have never burned a bridge with a previous employer.
I will do my job efficiently with a laid-back, happy attitude (MOST of the time, I am human...or am I? ;) ).
I am a constant learner of life and life-skills man has seemed to have forgotten thanks to the ease of Western Living and technology.
If your establishment involves farming in any sense, survival tactics, ancient practices/wisdom, navigation, or anything in the ocean or water you will have my attention from "Hello", especially if it leaves me time to surf, work an evening paying job (unless we're on a boat, in which case...I need only surf time), and sleep...or nap in hammock. Hammocks are good.
(As requested: My professional background lies in a mix of hospitality work and outdoor guiding work; however, over the past 14 years my personal area of interest has been studying the human body's ability to heal itself given the right tools. I have been most recently, and intensively studying and researching Regenerative Medicine. I am a certified clinical herbalist and clinical iridologist. I have also been a certified yoga teacher since 2011, as well as extensive training in energetically and nutrition.

“Requirements”, no. I am a flexitarian, I take care of my health and prefer fresh fruits and veggies and limit meat greatly for ethical and environmental reasons.
