  • Description

    I am a US citizen but currently living in beautiful Mexico. I am a bit older than most workers but I do work hard a bring a lot of knowledge in many different genre. I have built houses, used cob, laid tile, have constructed raised gardens beds, hung light fixtures and a lot of my life has been spent in hospitality. I am a graduate from Johnson & Wales with a bachelors in business management. I brought my own car to Mexico since I have my temporary residence and I even brought back my vacuum with me because I like to keep things clean and organized. I do travel with a most loving and well behaved dog, Charlie. He is house broken and gets along with all animals and loves everyone. I am looking for a place where not only can I help but also make connections, learn more Spanish, become immersed in the cultrue. I have been here for over a year and doing mostly house and pet sits. I like physical work and achieving goals that I may be given. I sure hope someone finds it in their heart to give us a try. Thank you for reading!!

  • What else ...

    I truly love the outdoors and find great pleasure in creating things to enhance my surroundings in natural ways. I am looking to slow down in life, still work hard but for something greater than F&B, and live a more simpler, self sustainable lifestyle. I love animals and children and am currently traveling with my companion Charlie, the sweetest dog you’ll ever meet. I am definitely open to learning new languages and anything else to better myself and the world we are living in.
