I will attempt to not write an essay.

1. I don't have a problem not sleeping while travelling. Example: I did SFO-LAX-BOG/BOG-LIM-CUZ/CUZ-LIM/LIM-BOG-LAX-SFO over 5 days, sleeping maybe 15-20 hours during all that time (half of it on airplanes). I don't get jetlagged going east (most people are the opposite).

2. I speak multiple languages: English, Russian, Ukrainian, German -- fluently; I can read and understand other slavic languages (CZ, PL, SK, etc...); Same goes for Spanish. I can understand other European languages (Italian, French), by deciphering word roots. In general, I find that I don't need to know a language to get directions or get something from someone. Europe feels like a second home to me.

3. I am energetic when needed, but calm, cool and collected when it comes to dealing with people (especially gate agents and phone reps). Semi-proficient at social engineering.

4. I can look like and fit in as a local in about 70% of Europe.

5. I'm in my early 20s, so maybe you want to mix up the ages of team members a bit. (Don't know if this is a plus or a minus)

6. I work in the transport industry, and one of my hobbies is public transport -- so I know things or can figure things out pretty quickly.

7. I'm a techie, so technical problems are not problems, they're puzzles, waiting to be solved.

8. I pack light. 10 Kilos is the most I'll need (including my laptop).

9. May be a plus/minus: I am an alpha person, so I generally lead, but if paired with another alpha person, I can work well with them if I feel mutual cooperation.

10. I try not to make mistakes, but not afraid to admit them.

11. Have photography and videography skills that maybe useful.

12. I always have a map in my head of where I am and where north is.

13. I love combinatorics.

14. I know how to use Bahn.de for train schedules .


There, I didn't write an essay.
