Randy this is a fantastic idea! Being a young poster on FT (in both age on FT and in life) I will still give this a shot.

I assume this is still open to us Europeans despite the travel starting in JFK?

Either way here is my pitch.

Background:
I'm a Dane living and working in the UK, I work as an IT consultant and travel regularly for work. I've always been an enthusiastic traveller and continue to travel loads for leisure. I have been bilingual since birth with my dad being Mexican and my mom Danish, learning both languages in parallel from when I first learnt to talk.

Skills:
  • Speak 4 European languages fluently (English, Danish, Spanish and French) as well others at communication level (Swedish, Norwegian, Italian) and I understand and read German
  • Been to most of Europe and have friends/contacts in pretty much every European country. (travelled a lot around the world as well, but I assume European travel may be more relevant here)
  • Very savy with IT related matters (due to my job)
  • Travel regularly in Europe - I have knowledge of all the European transport systems (Plane, Train, Metro, Bus, Car and Bicycle). I notice a Eurail pass is included so I assume my knowledge of the European train network would be handy.
  • Light packer (I regularly travel around Europe on trips spanning 2 days to a week and know how to pack accordingly)
  • Team player (I work in teams for work and I am used to meeting new people and forming teams and partnerships quickly and spontaneously due to the project nature of my work).

Further I am used to very stressful and time pressured situations and generally operate under a "can-do" model when it comes to tasks at hand.

I would genuinely be very honoured and proud to represent FT if we Europeans are illegible for this.
