I also find it really hard to extoll my "virtues". It's why I've never done very well in interviews. And this type of format is " what I call serial monologue". Since it's not a real-time back and forth conversation, it's almost impossible to get a sense of who someone really is.
Anyway, I have always been a city/suburb dweller, but really only feel at ease and at peace out in nature, and I am looking to make a possibly radical change in my life. I may not be super experienced with building things, but would love to learn and help, and feel the satisfaction that comes from building things.
It might be helpful to know what your age is.
