Description
Hi there,
My name is Carolyn and I am a teacher and also an artist. I have travelled to many countries and experienced some great adventures.
I currently work taking adults with learning disabilities on holiday which is very rewarding.
I lived and worked in China for several years which was crazy and exhilarating at the same time. I Travelled around India on the train to name a few but now I want to give a bit back now and also experience new things that the hosts can offer that I couldn't learn with the travelling alone.
I
What makes me tick?
I would say kindness. Kindness to each other, animals and the planet. I am spiritual and find peace wherever I am even its a noisy city or the sound of the waves.
I have found that working with animals fulfills me and have done many workaways working with a variety of animals.
I have a lust for life and I still get excited with every new day.
I offer a variety of of skills from teaching, creativity and household skills and I have decorated my own home many times over the years and put together flat packed furniture.
I can cook quite well
I have a son, Callum who is 28 and works away dredging and a grandaughter who lives with her mum in Leeds, I'm teaching her to say hello in different languages. -

What else ...
If i have to choose a board game, it would be Monopoly. My interests are so wide that its hard to pinpoint a particular one.
I love music and the outdoors. I have a passion for art and books and travel.
I have travelled to some obscure places where I have met so many interesting people and learned so much from other beautiful cultures.
Apart from cruelty to animals, there isn't anything I wouldn't try. I did a bungee jump over the Corinthian Canal last year which was fun.
I am a qualified teacher and have a passion for all to have the same opportunities through education.
I also have had experience working within the hospitality business so I am a bit of an all rounder. -

We wish her well in all her future endeavours
