My skills
I am a working traveling man, I'm a farmer back home I go away for the winters when the season is over. Have farming experience growing up on a grain/cattle farm. Worked out of high school at a carpentry/construction job for couple months before studying as a primary care paramedic. I started my work travel experience in Australia through grain harvest farming running tractor with a grain cart having to move as quickly and safely as possible to keep the flow of work afloat in a very high stress environment and swathing canola general yard maintenance, hauling bales. Worked on a tropical forest farm in Queensland AUS doing general yard maintenance such as feed chickens, planting the garden/flowerbeds, digging trenches, mowing lawn etc. Last winter in Gotland, Sweden working with sheep farming & forestry work & doing day care with the residence's children for some days of the week and cook once a week.

About Me
As I said before I'm a farmer who loves to travel, I find on my travels the best experience is the volunteer work just wanting to be in another zone with a bunch of random strangers that are doing the same we are all doing. I'm a hard dedicated worker, not afraid to try work new experiences, work well alone or with others, love breaking out of my comfort zone. I'm 6ft 3inches have loveable but awkward humour so my friends say. Hobbies watching movies, playing sports for fun like hockey, bowling, darts, cribbage, read documentaries/biographies, fantasy (game of thrones) , hunting, go to the gym exercise, dance (learn as much as I can), listen to music, learning to cook. Life is more enjoyable breaking away from your safety zone materials and etc, when you have so little and yet learning how much you have to gain then life becomes really really exciting.
