Description
Aloha, I'm Reno from Oahu, Hawaii, currently traveling while teaching EFL and learn as much as I can about building domestic structures so I can volunteer with that too. I've posted my CV below but what's not listed is my passion and experience in the fields of tourism (from Hawaii of course) and my ability to make things, upcycle and recycle. All said and done I am a team player, we have a task or goal to accomplish then lets get it done ! Aloha
