    Travelling

  • Description

    I am an 18 year-old from the United States. I have just deferred my first year in college to take a gap year where I will travel around the world. I am fluent in French and English and am enrolling in a Spanish school in Costa Rica very soon. I hope to become fluent in Spanish and continue to practice my language skills in South American and Europe. I love learning new skills, especially random ones. Although I want to learn languages and new skills what truly motivates me is people. My main goal is to travel and meet new people coming from a variety of different backgrounds. I hope to make connections and learn from the diversity of experiences other people have to offer.

  • More details about your skills

    I have worked in a quantum physics lab in Washington D.C as well as multiple restaurants as a waiter and a host. When it comes to the service sector I am extremely well prepared. I have done a ton of baby sitting and pet sitting for my neighbors. One of my main sources of income is landscape work, including lawn mowing, weeding, shoveling, landscape architecture, painting, the list goes on. I have been in gardens my whole life and I even worked on an urban farm practicing sustainable agriculture for 3 months. I have written for a newspaper and a lot of video editing experience while working for a broadcast group in America. I also love sports and my main ones are wrestling, soccer, tennis, and skiing/snowboarding.

  • What else ...

    I love to work out and hate to go a day without intentional physical activity. I love to sing and dance although I need work in both of those fields. I have messed around with ceramics, painting, pencil sketches, and other forms of art just because I love to use my hands.
