My next destination:
Mendoza, Argentina - from Apr 2025 until Jun 2025 View allDescription
Hello.
I am a Young 55 year old solo traveler and I am ooking for something to do during my journey. I am currently in Suriname and now I look forward to moving on and exploring the beautiful city of Mendoza.
I am an American, coming from the San Francisco Bay Area and I have spent the last 26 years in the Netherlands raising my family of three children. They are now all adults. This has given me free time to do some exploring around the world.
I particularly want to work with dogs or other animals and I am hoping to find a place where I can bring my canine companion Elliott, who is a small pug. We are a little team together so I bring him just about everywhere I go, if possible. He makes me happy and I am a lover of all animals. He also loves to meet new animal friends and is very well behaved and potty trained. I will need to find a volunteer environment where he can come too.Interests
