Description

Hello! My name is Owen; I'm a recent college graduate who's looking to see more of the world, meet new people, and experience new things.

More than anything, I love meeting new people and hearing their stories. I'm endlessly fascinated by people's lives, opinions, and experiences. I've spent so much of my life in the United States that I'm excited to experience new perspectives and other ways of living.

I'm more than happy to offer any skills I have to help out a host! Anything you need, I'm sure I can do with a smile.

More details about your skills

I recently graduated college with a bachelor's degree in biochemistry and English literature. I've spent the past year post-grad working as a microbiologist.

Previously, I've worked extensively in food service (I'm an excellent dishwasher) and as a dockhand at a marina, so I'm no stranger to manual labor. I love gardens, nature, and plants, and have learned some basic gardening skills from tending to what I can in my small apartment. A clean living space is a must for me so I'd be very happy to clean up, and I like taking things apart and putting them back together to figure out how they work so I'm happy to perform simple maintenance around the house.

Anything you need beyond my stated skills, I'm sure I can figure out! I'm happy to try new things and learn new skills.

Age

23

What else ...

One important motivating factor in my decision to travel is to meet new people and new perspectives. I am still young and I'm not sure what I want from my life and how I want to live it. Conversations with anyone willing to share their advice, life experience, and perspective would be greatly appreciated!
