Description
I am an American looking to travel in Western Europe. I enjoy working outdoors in various capacities-farming, fishing, etc. A major goal in my life is to improve my language skills particularly Portuguese (hopefully also French and Irish). I love exploring nature particularly near the coastline. I am passionate about history and mythology ( particularly that of Western Europe).

More details about your skills
I studied biochemistry in college. I graduated in spring of 2023. Since then, I spent the past year and half working seasonally for a remote non-profit salmon hatchery in Southeast Alaska. From this job, I have experience working in tough outdoor conditions. I also learned to work effectively independently and in teams. I also have basic boating and associated knot skills (bowline, clove hitch, truckers hitch, etc). I spent half my childhood on a farm in Tennessee, so I have experience gardening, fishing, and raising chickens. I speak English fluently. Additionally, I have some knowledge of Portuguese from my childhood as well as my own personal studying of the language as an adult, but I am not natively fluent.
