Hello, I am a very fit and energetic man who prioritizes health and quality of life. I have spent 35 years working in Education, Environmental Education, and Health Care in the USA. I have worked on a farm in VT, remodeled my cabin and landscaped several properties. I was a student of wovenearth.org where I enjoyed a permaculture design course in 2015. I really enjoy physical work in the outdoors. Currently, I am semi-retired and teach English online. Recently I have been working with organizations that develop sustainable living/agricultural projects in Thailand and Nepal. I love travel, challenge and natural living in every respect. People, Quality of life and sustainable living projects are my passion. I love people and animals.

Proficient in many basic computer functions, but I did not check that box because I would give myself a "7" on a 1 to 10 scale (also, computer work is something I enjoy less than other chores.). Fairly handy with repairs, but I am not a plumber or electrician by any means. I have a strong "can do" attitude.

I am an avid reader who loves music, and I am a budding guitar player. I have been an outdoors person all my life, and enjoy hiking, skiing and cycling. My favorite jobs have been in Yellowstone National park, Colorado Springs and the State of Arizona.
I am seeking an experience that is a "win/win" for any hosts and myself. I see my role as a job that ensures making my host a happy customer. If you're not happy - I'm not happy. I have practiced "mindfulness meditation", in addition to the manners I acquired from strict, sensible German parents in my native Illinois. A "win/win" experience requires a detailed understanding of expectations from both host and guest. I believe I am open and smart enough to make this happen. If you would like a workawayer who is flexible, can LISTEN, get things done, and have fun doing it - I'm your guy!

No, but I do try to keep my meat intake at about 25% of my diet, the rest is affordable rice, vegetables and fruit. :-)
