Travel information

I am currently

Description

Hello from Philadelphia, PA USA!
I am an animal/nature lover and part time marketing consultant who likes to travel and volunteer as much as possible. I am trained with and work for American Humane doing animal welfare and disaster relief in the USA. I have worked on a rescue game reserve in South Africa as well as with kangaroo/wallaby rescue in Australia. I recently worked in New Mexico training and caretaking wild mustang horses. I am trained with Team Rubicon doing disaster relief as well and currently working with them. Its my goal to give back and especially to the places that I visit.
I love volunteering because I get to meet interesting people and learn more about places and creatures new to me. I also then get to explore the non touristy bits of the places I visit. It is also my way of giving back to the places I visit.
I love people. Im easy going and positive. Happy to pitch in and do what is needed. I love to cook. I like to garden, hike, paint/draw, and I'm also a gamer. I have played an online game called Runescape for years and go to the convention in the UK annually. All my volunteering has been found directly to date. I recently met some Workaway volunteers in New Mexico and thought I would give it a go. :) I look forward to meeting you!
