Description

Hey I'm Jesse :)!

I am an open-minded really curious guy who seeks to expand his comfort zone continuously, I am really passionate about life itself!
I actually like a lot of things, love to learn, love to travel, love trying new things, love to eat, drink and cook, love sports, love to study, learn and apply. Love to get to know the World, their people and their cultures.

I love to share what I can to make places a better place... :)

On professional life I am a User Experience Analyst, (a UX designer on the make :)! So I am really into user experience, apps, e-commerce, digital marketing & marketing in general.

At the same time! I can create content Video and Photography in different formats or styles, and also for different social media or platforms. (Shooting & Editing)

I enjoy physical activities, used to play football and I've been doing Yoga the last 4 years.

I love cooking, and can adapt to different kind of cooking styles and special diets like: Plant-based, vegetarian, vegan, or pescatarian diets. (I mostly follow a plant-based diet myself, but can adapt easily if needed)

So far, I've been in more than 40 countries between America and Europe, and l've volunteered in 8 countries:
1. Czech Republic speaking about breaking stereotypes and culture with youth people in schools, (ages between 6 years old up to 22 years old).
and also Hostel work & help during night shift in Prague.
2. Portugal helping with feeding the animals, designing a website and creating content for an animal sanctuary of sheep, goats and horses,
3. Ireland helping a family that owns a food business, with gardening, cooking family dinners and playing football with the kids,
4. Bulgaria, helping in hostel activities like talking and walking guests and house-keeping for.
5. Also in Bulgaria, doing house-sitting and Cat-sitting for 5-6 weeks :).
6. Belgium, helping in the horses farm fencing, gardening and taking care of dogs and cats.
7. Belgium, Rochefort, speaking English with kids, sharing family chores, making games and creating meals.
8. Turkey, creating and editing content for a family-owned hotel photography and video (more than 2 months).
9. Czechia, Prague covering the night shift at the hostel doing guest check-ins, & check-outs, keeping the order and with common area cleaning.

And well, I'm the kind of guy who is willing to help, that can either talk with people of several ages, break a sweat on the farm, join the yoga class, help setting stuffs on tech devices, or can help cooking some amazing meals or even just a guy who is cool to have a beer/coffee with...

Well, about my expertise and experiences

I speak fluent English and Spanish, a beginner level Portuguese and a basic survival Czech.

I studied Marketing and on professional life I am a User Experience Analyst, (a UX designer on the make :)! And I am constantly adding knowledge to it...
So yes, I am really into UX, applications, e-commerce, digital marketing & marketing in general.

So far, have been in 23 countries between America and Europe, and have been in several kind of weather & conditions, and I really had the chance to exchange with several kind of people as well, from host families, to universities, to schools, to indigenous communities, to hostel crews.

I also can make any required speech, I love to teach and have no problem with share knowledge, I can host customers/tourists, and have done so in the past (specially with tourists).

I also can Cook, like above average, and can even do it Vegan or Vegetarian.
Also can do basic stuff related with tools like with nails, hammer, pegs, drills, painting, farming, cleaning, or assisting in any similar activity. Because I'm a good apprentice :)

I can create content, know how to fly drones, take pictures, shoot video, with drone, action cam, camera or phone and how to edit all of them.

I did volunteered in Czech Republic with other organization in 2020, it was about speaking and working with young people, helping them to discover different cultures and break the stereotypes of other nationalities, I also had the chance to work abroad years before in Canada, Brazil and Chile.

I'm kind of fit, so I like sports, yoga and working out. I used to play football.

And well, I'm the kind of guy that can either talk with people of several ages easily, or break a sweat on the farm, or help setting stuffs on tech devices, or cook or even just a guy who is cool to have a beer with...

The kind of person is willing to help, no matter what,
And that is always ready to learn ;)
