Travel information

I am currently

Activities i am interested in:

Hoping to Travel to Ireland, Italy, Portugal, and/or Spain

Description

I enjoy connecting with people, healthy living, and physical activity (whether through work, exercise, or sports). Having worked long hours in a U.S. based business for the last number of years, I am taking a break to travel in order to reconnect with people of all different cultures, to learn, work, and live together, enjoying life in pursuit of helping others.

My goal is to learn more about farming, healthy cooking and living, and ultimately various communities, so that I can bring new ideas together from different cultures to start or join a project that helps food insecure families and/or a project involving community development.

More details about your skills

I am a former college athlete with a background in fitness and health. Through my experience, I have gained a hard work ethic and skills in teamwork. My goal is to be a team player, but I am also not afraid to take initiative on my own or lead a group, if appropriate.

I also have a background in teaching fitness and sports to both children and adults.

Separately, I have experience running my own business that I recently sold, so I have a background in how certain businesses operate efficiently and successfully, but would enjoy learning more from hosts in this regard, as well.

I enjoy helping others and have experience working in a food pantry serving the food insecure members of my community.

I have also worked at a nonprofit farm in my first workaway experience gaining knowledge in caretaking of the land including pruning, trimming, cutting, hauling, etc - with the goal of yeilding healthy fruits and vegtables for the farm in a sustainable manner.

I look forward to working in environment of positivity where people come together for the betterment of the whole.
