Travel information

Description

In 2012 I discovered Couchsurfing, which unlocked a new way of traveling (and since then, also hosting) that I much prefer to touristy travel. When I travel, the most memorable and meaningful experiences often come from meeting locals, getting immersed in community projects, and volunteering my time.

I'm new to Workaway but you can read my reviews on Couchsurfing and Warmshowers.

More details about your skills

I am an educator with experience working with students aged 3-adult. I am always happy to create learning experiences for any age, to play or teach music, sports, etc. In addition to English, I know enough French to get by slowly.
I have some WWOOFing experience, minimal construction experience from hurricane relief work, event planning, etc. I am also a pet-sitting with experience minding dogs and cats.

Age

35

What else ...

I love board games and run a conference on game-based learning in educational settings. If you have a board game, I'd love to play! I am an avid cyclist and also enjoy hiking, camping, swimming, softball, rugby, and reading. I'm also a musician. I primarily play percussion but can also get by on piano, ukulele, or saxophone if there is a jam session :-)
