Description

Hi I'm a hard working female and an experienced traveller, looking for new experiences, new connections and new adventures..

I'm very blessed that I now have the freedom to travel as much as I like but rather than just go endlessly sight seeing I want to get involved in projects with like minded people. I want to contribute to local communities and put my skills and experience to good use. Hopefully I can learn new skills and make new friends along the way.

I've spent the last 20 years splitting my time between renovating old houses and then going travelling on the proceeds. So I can do most property building, refurbishment, maintenance, landscaping and gardening. I'm enthusiastic, fit and strong and up for getting stuck in to pretty much anything that needs doing. I'm happy to work alone or in a team and can be trusted to get my tasks done unsupervised. I'm diligent and resourceful.

Before that I spent a few years working as an IT Development Project Manager in the city, running large teams of software developers in cutting edge technology. It was very rewarding but I left to pursue a heart rich life not a cash rich life.

I've travelled all over the world working, volunteering, backpacking, hiking, sailing, paragliding, diving, kayaking, on spiritual retreats, motorbiking and just generally exploring.

I lived on a narrow boat for a couple of years and travelled all over the huge network of UK canals and rivers. It was fascinating living off grid, travelling at maximum 4 miles per hour (top speed of a narrowboat) and waking up to stunning sunrises and no noise except the grass rustling and the dawn chorus of birds.

I worked for a couple of years in Florida (in a bar) and 18 months in Bangkok (corporate training and marketing). I've also volunteered in New Zealand, Spain, India, Indonesia and The Philippines - mainly conservation, construction and animal welfare projects.

I love animals, camping, hiking, kayaking, cooking, motorbiking, diving, yoga, nature, gardening and sunsets.

I've done many solo long distance treks, usually with my camp on my back.. I also regularly go on kayaking and wild camping trips as well as fasting and yoga retreats.

I'm aware I might be a bit older than some applicants but I am definitely fit, enthusiastic, sociable and adaptable. xx
