Description
Hello future Workaway hosts! My name is Adam, I am from the US, and I have been traveling across Europe for almost two months now. I signed up for Workaway not only to connect and learn about different cultures and people, but also to explore my passions of holistic health/wellness/yoga and sustainability.
I just graduated university with a Political Science degree, and am hoping to use my past work experiences in Communication/PR, yoga, customer service, teaching, youth programming/development in order to help my future hosts in any way that I can.
I have a strong work ethic, am very independent, and am a natural leader in getting things accomplished. I love creating genuine connections with other people different from myself as well and I hope to spread this energy to any host who is willing to take me in!
***Currently in Macedonia where I have been living with a host family for three weeks-- helping take care of their children, cook for the family, help in the garden, and care for their pool. It has been the time of my life!

More details about your skills
Organized, Communication, Adaptable, Flexible, Creative- Having worked in the summer camp world for seven years, I held several different leadership positions that required clear communication with other staff members that I was in charge of, planning events in a clear/concise way, and being able to handle situations that do not always go to plan.
Social Media, Video, Photography- I have extensive experience shooting footage, taking photos for social media, and creating high engagement on social media platforms.
High-Energy, Social- If I have learned anything traveling for two months, it is that I thrive off of being around other people! I love asking questions, making genuine human connections, and making others feel welcome.
Creative Event Planning- I served as President of my university club with over 200 people, organizing and leading up to five events per week. Ranging from pizza parties, talent shows, and murder mystery events.
Other skills: two years of college-level yoga classes, cooking, working with kids ages 4-16 in an educational/camp setting, gardening/working in nature

What else ...
I am a motivated, creative individual looking to make a real impact in a community-- no matter how small. While this opportunity is helpful in affording travel, I am keen to really get to know each of our hosts in a meaningful way-- getting involved in the community, ensuring quality work, and treating our hosts with respect.
Furthermore, I view Workaway as a means to fully and authentically experience different cultures (away from the touristy chaos)-- and to create genuine connection and passion for what I can provide. Furthermore, I fully understand that this is an exchange-- and my gratitude for your hospitality will be evident through my positive attitude, willingness to persevere/ask questions, and wanting to go above and beyond.
