Description
I am an experienced traveler having visited over 50 countries. I am a former government bureaucrat and now consultant so I can work remotely with access to wifi and support NGO's, not-for-profits, and a variety of community-based organizations. I enjoy meeting new people, live for new experiences, and respect learning about new cultures. I believe in living as simply as possible while being respectful of the climate and of differences. I am an easy-going, fun, and adventurous traveler.
