  • Description

    A unique human, that has traveled a long, very hard road. Self improvement is of utmost priority at this time of my life, and traveling is a way for me, like so many others, to discover who I am. Further yet, I'm venturing to better understand what makes people happy. As a white male from North America, I realize that I'm very privileged, even though I grew up poor, and remained so most of my life. Exploring other cultures and realizing how little people need to be happy, helps me not only be content with my own life regardless of my standing, but also helps me understand the western sickness.

    I have an amazing skill set that spans many services and abilities, and I have the ability to learn literally anything. Despite being highly adaptable and dependable, I like to be alone. Having been alone most of my life, I sometimes get anxious around people, although this is invisible to others (I tell people when I get anxious and they're surprised). However, I'm quite happy to learn about other people's lives by hanging out and chatting. I can be a very good conversationalist, and have a wealth of knowledge and experience for my age, and can get along with almost anyone. Also, teach me all the languages. I'm currently diving into French quite intensely for out-of-school studies, as well as Spanish. I love learning French. It's difficult, but rewarding.

    Happy to explore life more, and on my terms. Happy to be venturing into a new, better Self, day by day. After all, "Life is just too curious not to love".

  • More details about your skills

    Oh boy. So, I have a very wide skill set, and the ability to learn anything. I had my own company in the states where I performed building maintenance, remodels, landscaping and more. I grew up on a small farm, so am accustomed to this type of work. I'm willing to try most anything. I can accomplish all tasks up to standard, as long as I am taught properly.

    Some other skills include vehicle maintenance and repair, cooking, gardening, and others that escape me at this time.
