  • Beschreibung

    When I travel I am always happiest when I am working. I have been a regular tourist many times, and I have traveled to work many times, and working has always brought me the greatest chance to know the people, the culture and the language of place where I am staying. What work I do is less important than doing something that is needed, that I am using my labor to help the people around me. That gives me the greatest joy.

    In the 1980s I was a Peace Corps Volunteer in Thailand and I also taught English in Taiwan for one year. Many years later, in 2017 and 2018 I was a WWOOF volunteer in Italy and France. I lived and worked every day with local people and learned their way of life. These are among the greatest memories of my life.

    I am taking the summer of 2025 to travel on my own and wish to spend a large portion of it continuing to work for the communities I visit.

    Mehr Infos zu meinen Sprachinteressen
    I am happy to help others learn English. In my first career I was an English teacher in Thailand, Taiwan and briefly in the US. I would be happy to help others learn English again. In 1988, after living in Thailand for two years, I tested in the fluent range for spoken Thai. My reading and writing skills were fairly basic. When I traveled to Thailand in 2017 my speaking skills were rusty, but improved rapidly with practice over the course of my visit. When traveling in Thailand I want the chance to speak Thai regularly again, or even take lessons, with a patient native speaker. Wherever I travel, I want to learn at least a little bit of the local language. At a minimum, I want to be able to explain, in the local language, that I cannot speak the language, and ask if the person I am speaking knows English.
