unterwegs auf Reisen
I love to travel and be outdoors, especially helping animals & the environment or in a garden. As a traveler, I definitely prefer "off the beaten path" and like to get to know a place by living & volunteering/working there (rather than just sightseeing). I've volunteered at children's charities, animal sanctuaries, and on research projects (most not workaways). Some of my favorite experiences have been in Turkey, Sumatra, Belize, France, Australia, Scotland & Cameroon
In the past I directed nonprofit charities helping children & families (am recently retired), though my interests have shifted over the past 14 years. From 2001-2015, I've lived in a bush camp in Africa for 3-4 months every year helping to manage a chimpanzee sanctuary. Most recently I've fallen in love with wallabies and flying foxes while volunteering in Australia. When I'm not traveling, I enjoy living in Seattle and the beautiful Pacific Northwest (own a home there).
Particular interests: hiking & kayaking, environmental activism, my golden retriever & fostering kittens, a good cup of coffee, gardening, contemporary poetry & novels. OMG, did I forget chocolate?!

While I'm older than the typical workaway volunteer (recently retired), I bring maturity, a strong work ethic and lots of energy, enthusiasm & initiative. I'm willing to tackle most any task, tho appreciate directions! Friends describe me as reliable, organized yet flexible & a hard worker. I'm fine working on my own and also quite enjoy working alongside others. Am sometimes quiet/sometimes outgoing, considerate of others, and love family meals & game nights. If you're interested, I'm happy to share chimp, wallaby or bat stories. In short, I'm keen to help out with whatever is needed & to learn about your corner of the world. Thanks!
