Description

As much as I like to travel and to experience the highlights in each place, what ultimately brings me happiness as a traveler is being of service and feeling purposeful. Meeting new people, being part of a community, having great conversations, eating good food, learning new things, and researching new places to travel align with what I value as a traveler. Currently I am on a year plus odyssey in Southeast Asia. I have discovered I like staying in places longer than a week so I can immerse myself with the people and culture. I have always loved traveling for that reason. I thrive in uncertainty and my curiosity allows me to take risks as a solo woman traveler.

More details about my language interests
I find great pleasure being with children. Their curiosity and send of wonder is intoxicating. Periodically I have worked as a nanny and found tremendous joy guiding with homework. I find it rewarding to witness children get excited and gain confidence when they learn new things.

More details about your skills

What are my skills? I managed a health food store for many years in Hawaii where I developed an interest in sustainability and the welfare of our planet and land. Over the course of 11 years on Maui I volunteered on a coffee farm and designed retreats for the spiritually driven. My skills as a multitasker organizer and my ability to work well with others gave me excellent people skills along with a strong work ethic to work with great intention to achieve goals and get things done.

I have a Masters in Holistic Health education, a degree in women's studies and theater and certified as a yoga instructor. I can teach yoga and meditation. After being certified a few years ago as health and wellness coach (my dream job) I found my calling. I get to help people change their unhealthy habits and lifestyle to a healthy one. This is my gift. I feel fortunate as I get to watch people blossom toward a healthier lifestyle as they release habits which no longer serve them.

Making my way through my education goals I worked as a family assistant where I cared for children and help create order in their households. I did errands, helped with homework, created games and ways to engage kids toward goals and healthy eating; along with motivating ways to engage movement. Overall, my ability to converse with kids and people in general comes easy for me. I love being around kids and they are always drawn to me too.

My age has awarded me so many experiences in life. My wisdom alone can help achieve desired results when needed. I am definitely a people person.
