    Travelling

  • Description

    Hey. I'm currently on a one year trip to explore some more of the world and to really immerse myself in the culture of each place I visit. I've learned that to truly get the joy out of traveling, I need to do something positive by helping others along the way. I have a background in construction/carpentry and youth work/outreach.

    I've spent the last 8 years in construction, but when I return home, I will be starting a new career in humanitarian work to help kids and young adults overcome challenges in life and become the best versions of themselves. I would someday like to start an outdoor youth camp of my own. Some of my best memories are at camp as a young kid.

    Traveling has become very important to me, so on an average of every 3rd year, I go on an international trip to backpack and/or volunteer.
    I just spent 4 months in the Dominican Republic, as a team lead, building small homes for families in need. I then spent a couple months between Israel and Egypt, before arriving in Europe.
