Description
Before my wife passed away last year, we dreamed of traveling back to our favorite destinations and staying there for 3 to 6 months, to really get to know the locals and the communities. We intended to serve in the communities to give back while we were there. I now seek doing something similar with Workaway. Working and learning about and enjoying the communities around me. The Pacific Northwest is where my late wife and I were planning to retire to. Now I would like to spend time in the area to get a feel for it.
Do not let my age scare you. I work out five days a week and am very vigorous. I learn quickly, am kind and respectful.
