Description

Hi! I'm Jack a 25 year old solo traveler from USA. After going to college and then doing a seasonal job where I learned how to sail on a schooner in Maine, I am now on my dream of traveling the world. I love to slow travel around, hoping to soak in culture and help out/volunteer wherever I am at.

I am a very adventurous person and love meeting new people. I'm the type of person to just collect passions, so to name a few: I love boating/sailing, swimming/diving, exercising, hiking, most sports, skiing, off-roading, bars/socializing, and pretty much any type of adrenaline activity. And looking forward to finding new passion through the workaways I join! I'm an open minded person and can really get along with anyone. Also a very positive person, I love to love things so I'm always looking for the best in things.

I'm eager to learn new things and to help out with whatever needs to be done. I went to school for automotive technology so I am mechanically inclined. I spent last summer in tourism hospitality giving people a great time on their sailing vacation. I speak English and am in the process of learning Spanish. I'm flexible with my travels and easy going. Hope to see you out there in the world!

Volunteering here in Berat, Albania was truly a joy! When I was scrabbling to find something in Albania with everyone being full in the summer, they took me in. Right from the get go I knew it was going to be an amazing time. I made a friend right away with the other volunteer. And the place is beautiful and very clean.

The tasks I was doing … read more

What a legend! Having Jack stay and volunteer with us at the Hostel was an absolute joy from start to finish. He’s one of those people who brings calm energy, great humor, and reliability all in one. You could always count on him to get things done, but also to make everyone laugh along the way.

Jack stepped up last minute and saved the day after I was let down. He made a huge effort to get here in time for my first trip with guests and immediately rolled up his sleeves and got stuck in with the crewing work. I was delighted with his competence and cheerfulness and prior knowledge of boats, including working with guests and watchkeeping - … read more

My time with Tim and on his boat was amazing! First off the location he sails in is jaw dropping. Montenegro might just be the most beautiful country I have ever seen! I only was on the boat for a weekend because I found a last minute opening. But my short time was really informative and fun. Everything went smoothly and the guests were nice. It … read more

Jack was such a great workawayer. He became a friend of everyone at the hostel. He had a great work ethic and was truly enjoyable to be around. Terrific personality and sense of humour. Anyone that gets the chance to have Jack work for their team will be lucky

It’s been a super fun time. I love the view, from seeing the pictures last year to actually being there in person was incredible. Thank you so much for … read more
