Travelling
My next destination:
Australia - from Sep 2023 until Jun 2024 View allDescription
My name is Jonathan Davydov and I am a writer and consultant who lives in Brooklyn, NY. I went to one of the top schools in America (Cornell University) where I studied Government and Philosophy. I am have spent almost a year in Europe between 2021-2022 and now want to continue traveling again!
I am a first generation American, raised by a single-mother, and as therefore know how to work hard. I'd love to learn more about all of the worlds different regions and peoples, and am happy to put in the work while doing so!
I have a wide range of experiences under my belt that I think would be beneficial to any place I stay at. I've worked in food service, done sales, and renovated apartments from start to finish. I've also worked on a horse ranch. I know how to sand and stain floors, paint and patch walls, use power tools, etc.
In terms of the more personal: I'm sociable, easy-going, and love to interact with new people and new places. I enjoy hiking, nature, writing, and reading. I don't smoke and I enjoy a drink or two for special, social occasions.

LanguagesMore details about your skills
Like I've mentioned before, I've had a variety of work experiences that have imparted me with a number of diverse skills. From my times working in sales and in various people-facing positions, I have gained excellent interpersonal and conflict-management skills. I have also worked in the food-service industry and generally know my way around a kitchen and handling food. In addition, I've worked as the superintendent (repair man) for my apartment building in Brooklyn and as a ranch-hand on a horse ranch in Minnesota, USA, so I also have a general understanding of working with tools.
I speak fluent, native English and am a native Russian-speaker, though my Russian skills are not great due to infrequent use.Age
