Description
Hello! I have been travelling since March 2019 to wonderful places around the world, a mix of tourism and volunteering. So far on my journey I have been to India, Turkey, Egypt, Spain, Nicaragua, Colombia, Dominican Republic, the UK and now Portugal! Initially on sabbatical from my job, in January 2020 I decided corporate America didn't need me back and am continuing my slow travel through amazing countries. I enjoy being a part of a community, meeting people, giving back and sharing good energy in addition to passing time independently. I am happy to learn new skills and offer assistance in a wide variety of things.

More details about your skills
During the last year+ I have helped restore a rural school and care for animals in India, helped with English conversation practice and cultural exchange in Turkey, and in Nicaragua I led tourists on multi-day treks to volcanoes and taught English to children with an NGO. I speak English fluently and intermediate Spanish. My previous life was in corporate finance, so I am good with numbers and have good common and business sense. I also grew up in a DIY family with lots of weekend projects around the house like reroofing, painting, building fences, lawn care, etc, so I am pretty handy in general. I love all animals and enjoy taking care of them.

Their quest to reopen the school is inspiring and I am so glad I got to get to know them and help in some small way.
