Travel information

I am currently

Description

I'm a retired educator who has traveled extensively and loves to explore new places and cultures.
A happy wanderer who enjoys people, animals, the arts and nature.
I'm active and curious and always interested in learning new things. Would love to help others while engaging in a new experience. Since I've done a lot of volunteer work (including the Peace Corps in South Africa) and lived in a number of countries, it would be such a great opportunity to try new places and meet new friends.

What else ...

I love to travel - would be happy to find some like-minded people who are also interested in
seeing more of the world and possibly volunteering together.
Am always curious and flexible and a bit (perhaps too?) optimistic. I try always to look at
the best part of any experience and am more interested in the journey than the outcome
or destination. Love surprises - they make life interesting!
