Description
I travelled solo each year since 2013 -2019 travelled in lengths to Asia, Europe and half of South Latin America. The latter , for almost 6 months and two of those months were volunteer works. There were other short and month long less adventurous trips from 2020-2025, It was a great cultural, language and knowledge exchange as it helped me learn a lot in many ways. I am in need of volunteers to help with some small projects: purging my closets and storage in order to free space, keep a computerized inventory record of the things I have. i am a mature person, easy going, I have two adult children one lives downtown and the other in the suburbs. Accommodation which is walking distance to downtown and many sights and landmarks is provided, no meals will be included, although, you may use kitchen to prepare your own meals.
