Description

Hello,

I'm Deborah (Deb) from Western Australia.

You are never too old for adventures and at 59 I have a zest for life and a yearning
to discover and explore new places and the people who live there.

I love hanging out with people having a good laugh and engaging in conversation. I am outgoing, fun loving, fit and energetic and enjoy the challenges of getting " out of my comfort zone"

My greatest passions are animals (all shapes and sizes, feathers, fur and scales), the great outdoors, hiking, kayaking, horse riding, cooking, gardening, music, movies, cards, board games, live theatre, reading, Pilates, Yoga and travelling.

I spent several months in Canada in 2019 and volunteered through Workaway on a ranch in British Columbia which was an incredible experience.

I would love to work at a wildlife rescue, animal sanctuary or a rural property again surrounded by beautiful animals or in a guest house, hostel or bed and breakfast establishment in the UK, Ireland or Canada.

I am now retired after 24 years service in the Australian Army Catering Corps.

Prior to joining the army I completed a Diploma of Catering and Hotel Management and worked in various hospitality roles iin Australia and the UK including reception , waitressing, housekeeping and kitchen.

Since retiring I have volunteered as an ambulance officer and community transport driver with St Johns Ambulance, wildlife carer at WA WILD LIFE, stable hand at Claremont Equine Therapy Centre, conservation projects and various roles at Ronald McDonald House.

I am also a member of Trusted House Sitters and have enjoyed many wonderful sits with dogs, cats and chickens.

I am a non smoker and enjoy a social glass of wine with dinner or at a local pub listening to music.

I am now free to travel and enjoy the excitement of meeting new people, visiting new places, immersing myself in local communities and experiencing real culture, learning new skills and challenging myself.

I am fully Covid vaccinated and have Right of Abode in the UK allowing me to live and work in the UK.

Bring on new adventures and the magical moments living life to the full.

Carpe Diem🌻
