Description
I am 76 years of age, healthy and active. In October 2013, I moved from my Rocky Mountain Idaho home and inadvertently became a nomad. I do spend any time I can on the Isle of Skye in Scotland, where I wish I could live. Meanwhile, since my maternal grandparents were Hungarian, I am slowly learning the language for citizenship. As a writer, I worked as a journalist in the Rocky Mountains of Idaho and wrote two UK travel books: 'Gimme the Song o' the Pipes! Crazy American Lady Tours Historical Scotland' and 'Crazy American Lady's Historical Tour of England and Wales'. My latest project is a small manuscript of essays about my life in Hungary. I am also a poet and have been a performer for most of my life, as a singer, actor and street performer. I have an English degree, have studied music theory and film and have good knowledge of health, massage/shiatsu, and natural health care. I am very handy, good-natured, conscientious, clean, organized, affectionate and loving and am extremely fond of animals and other living critters. I enjoy intelligent conversation and laughter with friends. I tutor English online and would work my schedule around those hours.

What else ...
I am also available for pet/house sitting. I am looking for a place to grow, be helpful and live a peaceful life. I am tired of being a nomad. Am currently in Boise, Idaho, but can't afford to settle in the US, so I keep moving like a hamster on a wheel! My mother was born in Nova Scotia, so I am a Canadian citizen w/passport (but have only seen Vancouver). I am considering settling in eastern Canada and want to experience it. I also have been spending a lot of time in Hungary and Romania, but am not able to stay for long, and since I am an October baby, I love/prefer rain and cooler climate.

  Am sliding from all vegetarian to some fish and chicken.

Angel is the perfect volunteer, she has it all!

Angel is fun, wise and always in for a good conversation. She is also very independent, clever, precisely and hard working wish made that could focus on our own work because we never had to worry about here or correct here.

The thing that amazed us the most about here is that she does effort to… read more

What to say about this lovely little spot of joy, peopled by two irresistible Chows! and two amenable humans. I dog-sat in two different visits (my Pestera life of twos) and spent a total of six weeks in all. My duties included painting, light gardening and cooking (alas, I am not the vegan cook that Elien is) and my un-duties included kissing… read more

Thanks a lot for your great help and the nice conversations in the evenings and during our meals. You worked a lot more than I expected. I would wish, all the young helpers would be as strong and fit like you!
I enjoyed the time with you and hope you´ll come back when you are in Hungary again. All the best for your plans I wish they all come true.

I couldn't have had a better time on Heidi and Martin's farm, unless her little sitting-hen's eggs had hatched before I left! We did have a thrilling birth of twin lambs on my second day. Heidi and Martin are both creative people and their home and farm are wonder-full. I was hosted only by Heidi, who provided considerate and affectionate… read more

This is a great situation for someone who wants to work alone and spend a good deal of time alone--often, you will be the only person on the property. It is not for someone who wants to be socially interactive--most guests are closed groups and there is rare chance for the activities described by the host. I think the description of the centre is… read more

Angel was a great help with all the tasks around kids: She was very efficient with teaching English, kids really made a progress during her stay. She was very helpful with finding tasks on her own - its highly appreciated. Thanks and good luck with all!

I'll never be able to repay Bea and her family for their kindness and effort they put into helping me with my quest. They were not just hosts, they became friends. I will always treasure the three months I spent at the center and in the area.
Teaching the children English was intense and so much fun, I laugh when I remember each child's character… read more
