I live my life by the motto "follow your smile". This can lead to some interesting chapters in life, there's been times my smile took me down a less desired path in life, however, it has delivered many more memorable endeavors. It has filled me up with lessons, solutions, experience, knowledge, respect, memories, and...smiles. When you live with that motto, you learn to trim the rubbish out of your life, and that very much includes the workplace too. I have held a vast variety of jobs throughout life, not because I'm not good at anything, or because I was let go, I get bored with routine. I refuse to believe we are here on this beautiful planet to work life away, and exist in a comfortable groove. I have worked in clubs, factories, pool shells, concert stages, restaurants, hotels, gardens, garages and more. I know what it feels like to eat at a Michelin star restaurant, I know what it feels like to survive on dry ramen packets. My passport is steadily collecting stamps, and my camera roll is growing, I've lived a lot already. I plan to keep this pace until I return my energy to the earth. I thoroughly enjoy conversations on pretty much any topic, so long as they stay conversations and not force feedings. I respect everyone until proven they don't deserve it, goes the same with every other moral and emotion. I'm mostly blunt with what I'm trying to say, but I'll deliver any criticism with tasteful humor....again with the smile. Some topics that are big in my life include, but most certainly not limited to food, music, travel, photography, philosophy, culture, and sustainability. I also have a fair amount of knowledge with mechanics, Woodwork, plants, and handyman tasks such as home maintenance and construction. My reasons for joining this platform are to gain more free time to do things around the farm, and to expand myself. Connections with people are the cherries on top of life, we have so much to learn from each other, and in a world where it's easier to avoid those connections, I'd like to enable it!
