  • Description

    Hello there! I come from Portland, Oregon, USA and am so excited to be traveling again after years exploring closer to home. So many things excite me and spark my curiosity, but right now I am most passionate about supporting slow food systems , making folk art from trash and sharing stories with friends.

    Food is a central part of my life, and something I love to share with others wherever I go. Some of my fondest memories are of cooking in restaurants or throwing wild dinner parties with friends. I'm comfortable with all different types of cuisine and dietary restrictions and enjoy both leading and following in the kitchen, working with whatever ingredients we might have on hand.

    Professionally, I work as a handyman and craftsperson . I can fix almost anything. See that as a challenge, if you like ;) I love a puzzle !

    A couple more things you should know about me: I am lgbtq and am looking for environments that are safe and warm for queer people like myself.
    I love to clown, dance , sing and play. My only real language is English, but we can communicate no matter what!

  • More details about your skills

    I am very comfortable cooking for large groups .
    I am handy : My skills range from mechanical repairs, to furniture repairs, to framing carpentry, to tiling, glass cutting, installing electrical fixtures and outlets.
    However, I will not be traveling with my tools :)
    Additionally, I have some landscape and permaculture experience, although I am more of a craftsman than a gardener.
    Lets see...
    I can also sew, organize, and clean very efficiently.
    I enjoy doing murals and house painting.

    And I am a certified yoga instructor.
    I can also teach English, art, and a variety of basic repair skills to others.

    Also I'm pretty good at starting fires and basic camping and self sufficiency skills, too.
