Travel information

I am currently

Description

Having family members spread around the globe, I've been blessed with opportunities to take extended stays in both world class cities and small towns and villages and experience them all through the eyes of a local. My time in places such as the Caucasus, Brussels, Scotland, and Eastern France, among others, has become a fundamental part of who I am and left me with a deep love for travel and experiencing different cultures.

While I've always made sure to pull my weight with anyone I've stayed with, the nature of staying with family means that more often than not just ends up with me performing the same chores that I do back home in a different backdrop. I find myself now craving the opportunity to fulfill my love for travel while still applying myself to something more, to be able to cultivate practical experience while experiencing new cultures as well.

My friends have introduced me to people as "the most interested person you'll ever meet", and it's something I take as a point of pride. I am a firm believer that only boring people get bored, and no matter where I am, who I'm talking to, or what we're talking about, I always have a dozen questions running through my head that I'm excited to ask.

I have an interest in all kinds of art and love talking about books, music, and film especially. Some of my very favorite authors are Jorge Luis Borges, Umberto Eco, and Gene Wolfe. I have a wide and varied taste, open to all kinds of new genres and experiences, and I always love finding new music from across the world.

More details about your skills

I have a little bit of experience in a few things, but I am a very, very fast learner, and am able to quickly get a grasp on and adapt to any routine or workflow I'm put in. I'm also very comfortable with travel and living abroad, so no need to worry about me needing a guide.

Age

What else ...

I try to be as conscientious with my smoking (as with all things) as possible, and whatever rules you might have about smoking on your property (including only smoking off your property, however far away you might want) I will gladly follow.
