  • Description

    Hi! I’m John, a traveler with a passion for hands-on work, outdoor adventures, and learning from new experiences. I love camping, hiking, climbing, skiing, intentional living, and seeking out adventure, all while connecting with new people along the way. I have a background in biology and conservation, with experience in fieldwork, plant identification, and other hands-on outdoor projects. I’ve worked on multiple permaculture-style farms, as well as in hospitality. With that being said, I’m comfortable with a wide range of tasks, including farming, gardening, and general project-based work. I’ve spent extended periods in remote regions, including central Alaska and the American Southwest, so I’m used to a slower pace of life and isolated environments. Physically fit and used to long days outdoors, I thrive in both structured and flexible work settings. As far as languages, I speak English and am actively working on improving my Spanish to better connect with local communities and learn from those around me.

    I travel to build new skills, challenge myself, and learn from different perspectives. I’m especially drawn to experiences where I can contribute meaningfully while fully immersing myself in local life. I love exploring new cultures, getting my hands dirty, and sharing in the everyday adventure of a new place. If you’re looking for someone versatile, reliable, adaptable, and genuinely excited to help, I’d be thrilled to join your project!

    If you’d like to know more about me, I’d be happy to set up a Zoom, FaceTime, or phone call.

  • More details about your skills

    Biology & Ecology

    I have a Bachelor of Science in Biology with a focus in Ecology. I previously worked in conservation doing hands-on fieldwork and plant identification. I’ve also spent time on several permaculture-style farms, where I’ve helped with various aspects of sustainable agriculture and land stewardship.

    DIY & Project Work

    I’m comfortable taking on a variety of practical projects. Through living and working on different farms, and occasionally helping my brother with his off-grid permaculture homestead, I’ve worked on tasks like building an outhouse, helping set up basic solar and electrical components, caring for seedlings, and assisting with simple irrigation work. I pick things up quickly, enjoy problem-solving, and don’t mind putting in the physical effort.

    Hospitality

    My hospitality background includes several years of food and beverage work, lodge roles, and ski resort jobs. I genuinely enjoy working with people and creating a welcoming environment.

    Off-Grid Living & Self-Sufficiency

    Extended time living and working in remote regions has taught me practical self-sufficiency and familiarity with basic off-grid systems. I’m comfortable in isolated, slower-paced settings and adapt well to living simply.

    Technology

    I’m very comfortable with computers and technology.
