Description

Hello! My name is Jesse, and I'm a 25-year-old who was born and raised in New York City. My family has been traveling domestically and internationally since I was a baby, and I immensely value cultural exchange. I graduated from college in 2023, and I'm currently taking a gap year before pursuing my Master's degree in social work. I have a personal goal of improving my Spanish-speaking skills while traveling, and I am excited about all the future adventures ahead. I hope to spend time in nature, connect with the local community, teach English, and work with land and animals. I hold a Permaculture Design Certification and am currently completing my Practicum for my TEFL Certification.
