Description

Howdy! My name is Preston and I couldn't be more thrilled about spending my summer slow-traveling Europe through Workaway. I've had the pleasure of having a few exchanges through the site, and once again hope to bring some charm and elbow grease to summer projects in Europe. Most importantly, I love sharing who I am and where I'm from to create connections that create friendships that last beyond my stay.

A little about myself: I am 39 years old college instructor that teaches digital media and writing. Over the years I've picked up skills such as carpentry while working as a hiking trail park employee, and tree care while working as an arborist. I spend my free time as a honky-tonk musician, chess head, armchair politcahistorian, and I never miss my afternoon meditative walk. If you believe I'm a good fit for your place, I'd love to cook you up some cowboy dishes, play old timey music, and get to know you better.
