Travel information

I am currently

Description

I love walks and hikes, and generally try to move around just using my own two feet. This applies to both my everyday life and travels. I try to be as considerate as possible, even if it comes to simply standing on one side of an elevator or letting a person with just 1 item ahead of me in the grocery store.

Regarding work - I prefer working and doing things by myself, but I've got no issue to be a team player. I'm independent when it comes to organising my time or work as long as I have clear instructions and expectations. I've worked in 30 degree weather, in the mud and under the sun for 8 hours a day for months, so physical jobs do not scare me much. The same goes for repetitous jobs.
