Description

Hi, i am Petra. I am a 60 y.o. well traveled manager (operations, projects and HR all in social work, healthcare and humanitarian aid) with a wide interest in cultures, languages, music, NGO work, food and cooking, and more. Oh, and I love rottweilers and other big dogs.
Originally from The Netherlands, I have lived in the Caribbean for the last 4 years, after 5 years in Sydney amongst others.
I have taken a career break, hoping to explore places not visited before.
I would also like to expand my skills such as improving my cooking, improving my (limited and mainly passive) Spanish language skills and exploring the tourist / hospitality industry. Of course I am able to contribute my business experience to NGO's that need some help on the organising and business front.

What else ...

I'm a fit and healthy female, (6 ft tall so I can reach the top shelves), wearing glasses. I've always been keen to develop my skills and have obtained a bike licence when i was young and learned to fly single engine planes when a bit older. I still like to learn new skills and (for example) would like to improve my Spanish.
I like to work with kids, youngsters and elderly people. I love big dogs, big kitchens and the countryside.
One thing less fortunate for me: mosquito's do like a lot me as do sandflies: if big numbers are at your place pls do advice so I can take precautions as i am used to.
