    Description

    I travelled solo each year since 2013 and travelled in lengths each time. I was in South America in 2019 for almost 6 months and did volunteer work for two of those months. It was a great cultural, language and knowledge exchange as it helped both a lot in many ways in terms of work/ and accommodation. Now I am in need of volunteers to help with some small projects. Currently, I am purging personal stuff from closets and storage in order to live minimally. I need help in this aspect (aside from other house chores), such as keeping a computerized inventory record of all personal stuff as well as help in putting them on marketplace. I am a mature person, easy going, I have two adult children one lives downtown and the other in the suburbs. I plan to travel on bike soon and slowly building the motivation, energy and the gears needed to do so. I will provide accommodation only, due to recent health problems, no meals will be included, you may use kitchen to prepare your own meals. Stores, restaurants, shops, markets are just walking distance away.
