Description

Dia dhuit! I’m Jordan from Ireland and 27 years young 🇮🇪

I’ve been living and working in London, UK for the past 3.5 years as a technical account manager for a financial technology company building and selling software to large and high profile US, UK, EU Banks and Hedge funds…if you have an hour I’ll explain my job …but I’ll save you the pain xD

I’ve always dreamed of travelling the world and this year I decided to take the leap and quit my full time job to solo backpack around SE Asia. I started my 6 month journey at the end of the March.

So far I’ve been to South Thailand, Cambodia and now Vietnam! I’ve had the best time ever but I’m really looking forward to spending a good chunk of time doing something more rewarding than just being a tourist.

I’d love the opportunity to teach my skills or whatever I can to anyone that needs it - be it English, Maths, Entrepreneurship, Computers, Finances or even Irish music and cooking!!

I’m a patient and open person, I love chatting to people and getting to know local culture, history, food and everything in between. I’m also a recovering musician and spent my teenage years and early twenties playing in bands and playing guitar/ singing professionally. I’ve even brought a travelling guitar - so I’d be delighted to pass on the love for music or teach some lessons to anyone that’s interested - just say the word :)

My plan is to travel to North Vietnam after a Workaway - then Laos, Northern Thailand, Japan, Singapore and Malaysia. For me it’s a trip and an opportunity of a life time to do this, so I want to immerse myself in everything as much as I can.

Thanks for reading and I look forward to making a positive impact in anyway I can.
