Travel information

Description

Hello and Bonjour my name is Eileen and I am Canadian. I grew up in the province of Ontario.

I am a retired French Immersion teacher with 4 grown children who thankfully are independent and responsible adults.

This gives me the time to explore and have adventures. I have lived in Quebec City, France (twice) and New Zealand (twice). I have travelled in other countries as well and have thoroughly enjoyed many of my experiences. They were definitely experiences that were difficult however these situations have given me the opportunity to grow.

My friends are unable to travel for reasons as they are still working or have retired but are not physically well enough to travel nor work. So I am a solo traveller.

Connecting with people from different cultures, provinces and countries give me great pleasure. I enjoy being busy and so the idea of a working holiday is enticing. I am eager to learn and participate in environments that are new to me and would otherwise be out of reach.
