Description

Hi, I'm Eddie :)
2024 has been the best year of my life so far, and I've gained a lot of clarity in what I want to do with my life, I can even give a quick run down; Travel for the next 5-10 years, including my dream hike "Norway to Turkey", then start family, get old, chill and hopefully help people out once I have a house and own stuff lol.

It began in March when I started the Pacific Crest Trail hike from Mexico to Canada. That trip showed me what freedom feels like, and I had such a great time making friends and spending so much time in some jaw dropping nature. During that trip I came to understand that I only have this one life, so I should enjoy it as much as possible.

Once I got back, I resumed my work at a bronze art foundry, a job that suited me well and I enjoyed, but I knew I couldn't keep living the same way as I had before. After one week I told my manager that I'm sorry but I have to keep traveling, and luckily we get along well and he understood completely so I was able to leave that job on good terms with everyone there.

A week after that I was on a flight to Japan to backpack around the country, where I'm currently writing this description from. This trip is also going incredibly well, it's been a good mix of me walking in peaceful nature, spending time alone and then socializing and meeting people when I get to cities.

For my next trip I'd like to use Workaway. It seems like a great mix of getting to travel but still having a place that feels like a home. I'll also be able to socialize and get to know all of the local area (I've discovered this year that I'm far more extraverted than I realized). It'll be great to help with work, to accomplish something and be useful. That's the one downside of backpacking/walking everywhere, I don't feel like a very productive member of any society lol. I'm also hoping to find a Workaway that teaches me new skills, I'd like to end up a jack of all trades by the time I'm old.

As for how I am as a person, I think I'm okay haha. In general it seems like people don't regret having met me, I made a bunch of new friends just this year while traveling so I must be somewhat likeable I hope.

Apologies if this description is far too long, I wasn't sure how detailed I should get. I hope it all gives a pretty good idea of who I am and inspires you to accept my request to stay with you lol. Thanks :)

Quelles sont vos compétences ?

Of course it'll be for you to judge, but I'd say I'm a hard worker, and as proven by my hiking I'm able to sustain physical exercise for 14+ hour days. It's fair for me to say I'm very patient and I've got good stamina lol. Working at the bronze foundry taught me how to use power tools, weld, lift heavy stuff and just be generally competent with manual labour. I can vouch for myself pretty confidently to be a good worker.

Autres infos...

I wrote a whole bunch in the description so I'll keep it short lol. Before I began traveling my main hobby was Boxing and a little bit of MMA. I've had a few amateur fights, it's great fun. I'm still an avid watcher of the UFC, though I train a lot less now.
In America I got into climbing and now bouldering is my favourite hobby, I'd love to get good at climbing.
I love music, in particular Metal/Grunge.
I used to spend way too many hours being a gaming nerd but now I'm basically done with that lol.
I've decided to start reading way more, seems like that'll be good for my brain and make me more cultured.
