Description
Hello workaway hosts,
I am a 34 year old American who loves to travel and find cool projects in the places I go. I'm very familiar with the work exchange situation, and I try to keep the mindset of working without pay with me in everything I do. I studied Biology in college, and I love nature and the outdoors. I like challenges, adventures, people, and generally expanding my outlook on life. I feel that living with people from other cultures is priceless.
I currently work (as an environmental biologist) and live on a remote island in Alaska but now I have some summer months off from work and I'm looking for adventures in a new a different place.
Also, I grew up in the countryside on a small farm in North Carolina and I've ran my own small farms for the past several years, so I am very familiar with farm work, and don't mind getting my hands dirty or working under the sun.Interests
