Description
After years of teaching, in various venues, I have spent the last several school years teaching the Psychology of Happiness to Study Abroad students in Orvieto, Italy. I love to be of service caring for land, animals, plants, properties, and fellow humans. I value simplicity, adaptability, and nature. An adventurous traveler, I can independently amuse myself and am very good natured.

What else ...
I love to see new places, meet new people, and discover new cultures. Rather than simply being a tourist, I prefer to immerse myself in places, as time allows. I am grateful if I can beautify the places and enrich the beings around me, and I have the vitality and resources to be a dependable and creative caretaker. I embody a sense of community and connection most anywhere I may be.
