Description

Hello!
My name is Tiernan (Teer - nin), from Florida, USA!

Before work away I only experienced the world in short, two-week, tourist vacations. I realized this is not enough to truly experience the place I am visiting. The couple of months I have spend using work away has been life altering, from the things I've seen, to the skills learned, culture absorbed, and above all the people that I have met. There is still so much out there to discover and so many people to meet...

I have dozens of interests (from cooking to sports), but the passions in my life are music and academics. I like to make music on the computer and have been playing drums since I was 12 years old. My academic interests are mostly in philosophy and culture (cinema, art, and even social media!). I write independently and have presented at a couple of conferences and achieved one publication. Besides this, I love having a chat with good company, being out in nature, learning about the customs of a country or people, visiting historical sites, and simply breathing the life of the place I am in.

My favorite aspect of travel is the dialogue with people from different walks of life. It could be serious discussion or joking around, but either way the feeling of building bridges with someone from a different part of the world is very valuable to me, and it is something I which to keep doing, forever.

More details about your skills

The majority of my work experience is in an office setting: planning meetings, invoicing, and social services. However, I also have professional experience as a receptionist, animal care, cleaning various settings, teaching (mostly adolescent kids), and computer assistance.

Outside the professional sphere, I have plenty of experience cooking, repairing things around the house, and caring for animals and plants. It is clear that jobs differ in the details, so I think the best thing I have to offer is my ability to listen closely and learn! I am a good problem solver and pick up on things quickly.

What else ...

I generally like developing skills and knowledge in as much as I can, I am always open to trying new things and like to hear stories. In my opinion, cooperative environments generally are the most enriching, not only for the task at hand, but also learning about each other and ourself.
