Description

Hello world!

I'm Nathan, a 27-year-old adventurer from Orlando, FL. As a proud member of the LG[B]TQ+ community and neurodivergent society, I’ve always been driven by a passion for supporting others and fostering community growth. My journey in community service has been diverse and fulfilling, marked by my involvement with several impactful organizations.

I spent time with Americorps NCCC, a program that brings together young adults to engage in team-based national and community service across the United States. Here, I developed a strong foundation in teamwork and community engagement. With NCCC, I worked on projects like disaster relief, aiding a homeless shelter, and help out a sustainable living nonprofit. Following this, I joined City Year, an education-focused nonprofit organization dedicated to helping students in high-need schools succeed. My role involved mentoring, tutoring, and providing critical support to students, enriching my understanding of educational and community challenges. My 5th graders were awesome!

My commitment to aid extended to disaster relief with All Hands and Hearts, an organization known for its effective response to natural disasters. My time here was spent providing immediate and long-term aid to affected communities, a testament to my resilience and ability to adapt in challenging environments.

The recent turn of events, being laid off due to budget cuts, has steered me towards a new path. Now, I am embracing this change as a catalyst to travel the world and make a difference in new ways while embarking on the exciting journey of starting my own online business.

With my Caribbean and British heritage, I hold passports from both the US and the UK. I have a rich travel background, having lived in England and explored various countries like Germany, The Netherlands, Indonesia, Singapore, South Korea, Brazil, Colombia, Peru, and many Caribbean Islands. My travels have also taken me across numerous states in the US. While English is my primary language, I am enthusiastic about learning new languages to enrich my cultural experiences.

I am a kind-hearted, passionate individual, often compared to a golden retriever in personality. I love working with kids and animals (especially dogs and horses) and am eager to dive into eco-farming and sustainable living practices. As a creative soul, I look forward to sharing stories about people, cultures, and communities on social media, hoping to inspire and connect with others.

I can't wait to embark on this journey of exploration, learning, growth, creating unforgettable memories and making a positive impact!
