Descripción

Howdy! My name is Preston and I couldn't be more thrilled about spending my summer slow-traveling Europe through Workaway. I previously exchanged through the site during my last trip over a decade ago, which was a rewarding/productive/transformative experience, and once again hope to bring a positive attitude, charm, and elbow grease to your summer projects in Europe. Most importantly, I love sharing my culture and life stories, and am all about building connections that resonate beyond my stay

A little about myself: I am 38 years old college instructor that teaches computer literacy, digital media, and the occasional writing class. In a previous lifetime (known as my twenties), I picked up skills such as carpentry and tree care while working as an arborist, as well as being a "trail dog" (building and manintaining hiking trails).

My off-the-clock time is spent as a honky tonk musician, chess head, armchair philosophistorian, and I never miss my afternoon neighborhood stroll. If you believe I'm a good fit for your place, I'd love to cook you up some cowboy dishes, play old timey music, and talk about these matters of life.

Que habilidades tienes?

Physical Labor (Skills I developed in my 20s and occasionally revisit in my 30s)
--Carpentry: I built smaller projects such as bookshelves and benches. Also, during my trail work days, I occasionally took part in larger carpentry projects such as bridges and stair cases.
--Treework: I worked as an arborist for two years, which included nursery tree work, pruning, and extensive chainsaw experience
--Mechanical: I have owned motorcyles for over six years (have one now!) that I've maintained myself

On to my second life (My every day life over the last 5ish years) when I transitioned to teaching and instructional technology
--Digital media: I've taken a film classes and create professional instructional videos as part of my current job. I also previously hosted and produced a podcast about music.
--Social Media: Fluent in Instagram and Tiktok. Have used these various platforms to promote my music as well as my podcast
--Web design: I have designed two websites with Wordpress. I've taught a webdesign class at the college, and also know HTML and CSS coding languages.
--English: I've got two English degrees, one in American literature and the other focused on the fusion of writing pedagogy and instructional technology, which is how I ended up in my current job.
