Description
We are a couple in our mid-fifties that are passionate about international travel. Over the years we travelled to over 30 countries. We are planning a 3-month trip to Lesotho, Mozambique and South Africa in 2023 and would love to work and volunteer.
We live in Quebec City, Canada and speak fluently French and English and we have good notions of Spanish. We also lived for 10 years in San-Francisco, California, USA. We have 3 kids together.
My wife, Pascale is a former art teacher and has degrees in visual arts and communication/marketing. She currently works in Health Care in a long term care facility for the elder. She has lots of experience working and helping elderly people. She also has experience with event planning, customer service and administration. She just completed a yoga teacher certification. Also, she loves the outdoors, gardening, healthy cooking and helping people.
I am Philippe and I recently left my “corporate America” job in engineering and software. I am now working part-time and intend to spend more time traveling and helping others.
