Descripción
Hi, I am a fun-loving, active, energetic traveller who loves people, nature, animals, hiking and travel. As a recently retired teacher, I have 30 years of experience working with youth, parents and communities to help them thrive and progress, to support sport/club activities and to build leadership and stronger relationships, all with a lot of patience and humour. I've lived and worked multiple times in Africa, Europe and across Canada. I believe that the more connected we all are in the world, the better. I am organized, get along with all kinds of people, am a good team player and work hard.
Any experiences where I can meet and connect with local people and other travellers, remain active, laugh and enjoy and work in nature, including animal care, are a great fit for me ... whether its home cleaning or child/pet care or language learning and building.

Que habilidades tienes?
I have been a teacher and community volunteer for over three decades. I have mainly taught mathematics, science, physical education, and French. I have taught in three Canadian provinces, two African countries and in the Netherlands. With my two children, now 25 and 26, I have travelled and taught extensively through Europe and Africa.
I consider myself handy in the garden and have created many around the homes I have lived. I pride myself on leaving the places I have lived in better condition than when I arrived.
I am an active person. I enjoy hiking (especially the Camino), running and weight training. I especially enjoy nature throughout Europe, Africa and Canada. Over my career I have coached a variety of teams in sports such as volleyball, kayaking and cross country running.
I am a very flexible, caring person who is always seeking out new adventures. My ability to adapt to new situations and surroundings has allowed me to experience a multitude of opportunities. My core values include building strong personal relationships, environmental sustainability, helping others and building stronger communities. These values have opened my life to new situations where I can use my experiences to learn new things and create new and lasting connections.
We absolutely love animals, of all kinds.
