Description

Hello!

My name is Daniel (Dan), and I am a 22-year-old recently graduated college student with a major in Management Information Systems. I am an avid adventurer and love experiencing all walks of life and cultures. I graduated a term early and have 3 months before I walk and receive my diploma. During this time, I plan to live out my dream of backpacking Europe solo.

I live a life motto of "learning by doing". My whole life I have fantasized about the vast globe and what it has to offer, and I have the perfect opportunity to do this at the current moment. My main source of happiness is family and meeting new people every day. I have 4 younger siblings and two dogs that I adore. Rather than being a tourist, I really want to experience a community and help others.

I am a really easygoing person who can help out with anything. In addition to my experience in technology through my major at Drexel University, I work landscaping and construction in the summers as well as work at my family's barbeque and fine dining restaurant. I'm looking to make real, meaningful connections that can last a lifetime before I walk the stage!

What else ...

I am an avid sports fan, specifically for the Philadelphia 76ers in the NBA. I enjoy exploring cities in the United States including New York City and Chicago. I am an avid camper and hiker, love to fish and watch animals and birds while in nature. I find peace in being alone and figuring it out by myself. There is a beauty in it.

I love to cook and make new creations in the kitchen. My family has deep roots of chefs, and I learn from them every day. My favorite dish to make is Tournedos.

I have a total of 5 siblings, and I am the second oldest, I grew up in Pennsylvania and met so many people from different countries during my time in college. I only want to meet more people!

I had the most amazing time staying with Sylvie and her family in their beautiful home. They made sure that I was not only comfortable in my own space but truly gave me an unforgettable experience as if I was part of their family for the two weeks that I was there.

This was Daniel's first workaway and hopefully not his last. He is an open-minded, hard-working American. He is also discreet, polite, and interested. Daniel worked really hard in our garden and did a very thorough job. He also cooked for me one evening and was often asking what else he could do. We enjoyed his company and had many great chats.

I had such a wonderful time staying with Stephanie and Sebastain. For this being my first Workaway experience, they made sure to make my time in Germany unbelievable. The level of hospitality and communication was like nothing I have experienced before. I was treated as part of the family the moment I stepped through their door.
