Hi, I'm a retired social worker from Australia who enjoys travelling, volunteering, teaching and meeting people. I previously worked for the department of Child Safety and Youth Justice. I'm a practical person who can help with gardening, cooking, cleaning, general maintenance. I completed a TESOL ( Teach English) certificate and volunteered in Thailand and Cambodia. During my visits home I enjoy assisting people with Workaway and house sitting. I've previously worked on a small farm and with house maintenance. I have two daughters and two grandsons. I am a sociable person who likes meeting people and sharing experiences. I have backpacked in Sth America, Africa and Europe. I enjoy staying healthy and fit with walking, swimming and cycling. I am also content with my own company reading a good book. I look forward to meeting you soon.
