  • Description

    Good Day! I am a 58 year old woman who was a bit of a nomad before starting a family. My daughter is planning her own family now and feel that I need a little sabbatical before becoming a grandmother. I was a forensic anthropologist and now my retirement job is at a fun shop in New Orleans working in hospitality. I have experience in teaching and was also a sous chef. I love gardening and have redone 3 homes. New Orleans culture is all about music and food so we are fun people. I am travelling as a digital nomad so have my computer and camera and have plenty of social media and marketing experience. I am looking forward to learning about other cultures and sharing my experiences as well.
