I'm most interested in activities that involve nature, animals, creative endeavors, and educating others, but I'd love to help out in anyway I can.

Beschreibung

I started off my life journey with the plan to live the kind of life that most people imagine is successful. I went to college, got a degree in accounting and began working in that field. It has taken me many years to realize that accounting was probably one of the worst choices of professions for me. Boredom and routine are my worst enemy. I seek out new experiences. love a challenge, and am always interested in gaining new skills. But I get the most fulfillment when I'm able to help others. I feel very fortunate to have discovered the workaway community 4 years ago when I was 56, and since then I've gone on 3 workaways and hosted workawayers twice in my home. I have always loved to travel (to date, I've been to 48 countries), but traveling as a tourist doesn't give you the same immersive experience as living and working alongside people from other cultures.

Was könntest du arbeiten?

I'd love to help out hosts any way I can. I've had a wide variety of experiences in my life so my list of skills is fairly long:
-- Gardening & Yard Maintenance... I have had my own vegetable garden on-and-off for many years and have had a yard to help maintain for a total of approximately 27 years.
-- Cooking... I've been told I'm a good cook and I love being creative in the kitchen.
-- Website design & Search Engine Optimization (SEO)... I have created several websites in WordPress. Some of them are for me or one of my businesses, but I've also created websites for other people. I enjoy doing SEO for websites and have successfully completed a 5-course Specialization in SEO from the University of California, Davis
-- Hospitality... I ran an Airbnb out of my home for 2 1/2 years.
-- Photography & Digital Art... I sold my photography & digital art at art festivals throughout Florida & Georgia for about 8 years. I have advanced skills in photo editing software, especially Photoshop.
-- Business Skills... I have a masters' degree in accounting and worked for about 16 years as a professional accountant/manager. Since leaving accounting I have established and run 5 different businesses. I have advanced spreadsheet skills.
-- Graphic Arts... In my various businesses I've created most of my own marketing materials. In addition to creating materials for print and web, I also have done some video editing.
-- Teaching... I've had a couple of professional teaching jobs over the years. I've also had a lot of experience with creating and presenting training programs on various subjects.
-- Scientific Research... Long after getting my degree in accounting, I went back to school to pursue an education in psychology. During that time I worked on several research projects and was one of the authors on a published paper.
-- Writing... I have extensive experience writing for various purposes including technical reports, business correspondence, marketing materials, academic papers, and blog posts.
-- Crafting & Upcycling... I've been crafting for several years. I've made various mosaics but my passion is repurposing unwanted items and creating shell crafts.
-- Dog Training & Dog Sports... I am a member of 2 dog training clubs, and I have trained my 3 rescue dogs. In addition to obedience, I enjoy training them on agility, scent work, and tricks. Two of my dogs has received AKC titles in all of these areas.
