Travel information

I am currently

Description

I have spent the past 40 years as a caregiver and am hoping to use the next year to discover who I am and what I love.
I have been fortunate to come from a large family and really enjoy company and conversation.
I hope to see a little bit of the world through workaway.
Travel and good food are motivating factors. I hope to be of help and leave a good impression.
I'm originally from Los Angeles California and moved to the Pacific Northwest near Seattle many years ago.
I'm the 10th of 11 children and enjoy hiking and nature. The Pacific Northwest is a truly beautiful area of the earth and I'm looking forward to seeing more of the planet.
