Description
I am looking for an opportunity to help people, connect with local communities, and work on projects that will improve lives.

I currently own and operate a very successful hostel in Guatemala, and because of my fantastic staff, I have the opportunity to travel the world. I'm searching for new experiences that will help me grow my character through becoming more generous, compassionate, and loving as well as developing some useful skills in permaculture, bio construction, community service, and anything else that might make the world a more sustainable and friendly place!

I love being outdoors, meeting new people, learning new skills, and living life to its fullest!
