Beschreibung

Dear Hosts, I am an intrepid traveler and it is time to step into my big boots again. My youth was spent in a rural town in South Africa and with my parents I explored Southern Africa. During my adult years I traveled extensively through Europe with my husband and daughters. We regularly spent time in Heidelberg, Germany where my husband was a guest researcher. The third phase of traveling started with a teaching year in Kuching, Sarawak, Malaysia. That was followed by a year of teaching near Ningbo in China. My last stint of teaching was in the north of Thailand in 2023. I visited India in March/April 2023. I worked as a volunteer teacher in Jaipur before joining an Intrepid Traveler tour from Trivandrum to Goa. I intend to spend three months in the northern parts of the country that put a spell on me.

I live with my husband in a remote rural town in South Africa, where I am very involved in community projects. We built our own home and developed or small holding during the past four years.

As a mature traveler, an avid reader, a teacher, a mother and homemaker I have a great variety of skills that I can offer my hosts. I am 64 years of age and in good health, fit and adventurous. . Cultural exposure through reading, cinema, music, museums and conversations will be my priority.

Mehr Infos zu meinen Sprachinteressen
Language is a magic wand, as well as a practical tool. As a published author , I value what language offers me to express my deepest thoughts. The lack of a common language can be highly frustrating, I spent most of my working life teaching English as Foreign language. Teaching in South East Asia taught me how to navigate my journey in places where I could not depend on English. That is always a humbling experience. I am looking forward to return to India and see the landscape of language as an integral part of the physical journey.

Was noch ...

I have so much to offer as a mother, a homemaker, a teacher, an intrepid traveler and an avid reader. It will be lovely to make reading a part of what I can offer and that can lead to dramatization. I am living in a rural town and am involved in upliftment and community art projects. I am a very healthy and active woman of 64 who can easily fit in with young workawayers.
