Beschreibung

I'm an open-minded idealist, helper, traveler, nature lover, slow-hiker, yoga teacher, gardener, creative, house sitter, big animal lover, and intensely curious soul. Most people think I'm younger than I am because of the energy I put into gardening, learning, growing, openness, and building healthy and respectful human connection that moves our world forward. I've also been told I'm easy to live with, tidy, responsible, patient, kind, quiet, and hold space for others. I do like to help people smile! :-)

My background is a combination of professional and volunteer experience. Typically of significant responsibility which included many personalities and different cultural backgrounds. I’ve also owned and overseen the renovation of several properties that became residential or commercial rentals. I left my professional life in finance about 8 years ago and started to travel and volunteer. My lifetime volunteer experience varies greatly. Ranging from co-host of an eco resort in India, to farm hand in Thailand, to serving at a therapeutic horse riding facility, gardening, producing two TEDx events, rails-to-trails, spending time with street children in India, house sitting, pet sitting, and more. My Workaway service has included living in India for over a year. Also stays of a few weeks or many months in Thailand, Hawaii, Puerto Rico, France, Australia, and the United States. Some assignments I've returned to more than once. More recently spending over two years leading the landscape team and serving as an assistant yoga teacher at an intentional community and yoga retreat center in the United States. Then to Guatemala (not through Workaway) for several months of service at a small off grid yoga retreat center as the lead gardener, also as a lead yoga teacher, and assisted the management team.

In addition to Workaway I'm an active member of Trusted Housesitters which is an international house and pet sitting site. Through which I have completed or have future sits lined up in the United States, Australia, and UK.

I prefer to be active, outside, trying new things, learning and growing. I'm detailed, eager to trade skills, and open minded. I like to think outside the box and problem solve. My goal is always, always, always to help people grow and do well for themselves.

Feel free to send questions! Happy to explain anything. 🌷

Was noch ...

I enjoy yoga, meditation, philosophical discussion, psychology, hanging out with animals, slow hiking, holding space for others, connecting with the earth, healthy living, creativity, and learning how to sing. I do not smoke or do drugs. Also not a partier. However, gatherings with hosts, volunteers, or community members is always lovely.

I find enjoyment from full cultural immersion, exploration, the arts, learning, meeting new people and finding common ground. Especially with those that have the capacity to share, laugh deeply, and find the good in others. Living a life that combines diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging for everyone is important to me.
