Travel information

I am currently

Description

A workaway holiday has been on my bucket list for over a decade, and finally I have made the time to do it! I have travelled to over 30 countries so far, via shoestring backpacking to ultra luxury - but I don't think they can offer what workaway travel could. I'm looking for a sense of community with other like-minded global citizens, learning about new cultures and real local lifestyle, and of course adding a real sense of purpose to travel.

Nothing makes me happier than travel, and after a rough couple of years, I'm looking for some life inspiration and human connection. Actually, coffee and good conversation is tied up there with travel regarding my happiness. I have major adhd regarding interests and know a little bit about a lot, and just want to fill my brain with more! But I'd say my top interests are anything related to psychology, geopolitics, travel, food, and anything automotive.

More details about your skills

Elevator Pitch: I have many years of professional experience working in hospitality and construction project management. I've worked as front desk for 5-star Marriott properties and as a project coordinator on international residential and commercial projects upwards of hundreds of millions of dollars. I also have associate degrees in business administration and 3D architectural/building systems drafting.

Although I am not an engineer, after so many years on site and building/navigating 3D models, I have x-ray vision and a real sense of electrical and mechanical systems. I also rebuild vehicles as a hobby and absolutely love working on cars (as long as I have the right tools).

I may not a professional tradesperson, but I am not afraid of physical labour and I find it rewarding. I am 180cm tall and 90kg (200lbs). I also love troubleshooting issues, tinkering and fixing things around the house, car, electronics etc. (thanks to my late father who could fix literally anything). I always have a beginners mindset and learn quickly, work efficiently, and never half-ass anything.

I am also quite computer literate although not as clever as the gen-z's. I can build websites and online stores and manage social media, and I can even manage some electronic repairs.

I've lived as a bachelor for many years and have taken a real enjoyment to cooking (mostly Italian and American style but enjoy eating any style/culture!), and I love a clean, organized and tidy space. I also enjoy turning messy spaces into clean, organized and tidy ones and not afraid to get dirty!

I do not have any experience being responsible for children but I have many nieces and nephews and enjoy children being around (But I'm not really an ideal babysitter). I love animals, I am a major cat person but also adore dogs and I would love to experience more different types of animals!

Age

41

What else ...

I am a dual citizen of Canada & Italy and I own a home in both countries. I am single hetero with no children and am in the midst of a career/life pivot into a more meaningful life path and find my global citizen community
