Description

For as long as I could remember I have loved adventure, I've been a Scout since I was 7 years old and for the past 3 years I have worked at a summer camp. I absolutely love nature and I love working working outside, I have been working on a farm for the past couple summers. I have been overseas twice, both times I visited Germany, as it was the language I took in high school. So although I loved Germany and do intend on returning with Workaway, I would definitely like to see more of the world before I go back. I love learning, whether it's language, skills, cultures, or stories, and I find myself to be a pretty quick learner and I'm wanting to put that to the test!

More details about my language interests
I want to learn as many languages in my lifetime as I can. I want to learn Italian and Spanish first, and I would like to better my German. I could teach English with some help, and after some practice German as well.

More details about your skills

My full time job for the past year has been contracting, so I am no stranger to hard work or power tools. In that time I have picked up the ability and knowledge to (with some help) remodel bathrooms, basements, and kitchens (our Instagram is @mealerbrosconstruction).
For the past two thanksgivings, I have spent the week cooking in a small kitchen for 50 people during an organized deer hunt. During this week I had to wake up at 3 in the morning, and cook for 6 hours, then I could sleep for 6 more before cooking for another 6.
As I mentioned I have been working on a farm for a couple seasons now (there's a picture in my photos), and before that I had a garden. For three summers now I have worked at a summer camp where I taught blacksmithing my first year and survival skills my second and third year. This same summer camp showed me how much I love teaching and working with kids and teenagers, I hope through Workaway I will get to teach and learn from people all over the world.
