Description
I'm an independent mature woman, good at self managing, looking for efficiencies and seeing things through. I'm not afraid to get dirty and work hard. I'm generally pretty personable and get along with people of all ages and from different parts of the world.
I have spent decades working in corporate sales and marketing positions and have decided to take a break from professional work to deeply experience more of the world.
I have a passion for travel. I've visited over 30 countries and love learning about history, meeting new people and experiencing culture shock. Often travelling solo, I really enjoy the opportunity to meet people of all ages and cultures.
I also have a passion for yoga and mindfulness. I'm a 200 hour certified yoga instructor, certified breathwork leader. I've also always really enjoyed creative projects, dabbling in all sorts of arts and crafts including photography, crocheting, jewelry making, painting, sewing, furniture building, mosaics, DYI, etc.
I've always been hands on in DYI, comfortable with operating power tools like a saw, drill or sander. I make a great assistant to a carpenter.Interests
