Descripción
Hello future hosts! In my other life, I was a working small business owner in medical-legal transcription for more than 35 years. I gave it all up and began traveling the world and volunteering in May 2017, now having been in 60 countries and counting. This life has suited me well.
I am healthy, self motivated, up for most anything, confident and adventurous. Raised my family as a single mom. My strengths are organization, managing a household with all the daily upkeep for a busy family or single person who needs a hand, care of animals and children. In addition, I have experience with painting/minor repairs in a home, having done upgrading/remodeling in four houses. Several hosts have said I am an excellent painter (walls, furniture). Will be happy to assist or make meals, go to the market with you or alone.
Hobbies are water sports, dancing different styles, hot yoga, staying fit, and reading. Love and appreciate the arts. My passion is alternative medicine/natural healing. Ideally would like to meet others in the alternative health/dance/new age fields but not required. :-)
Looking forward to meeting you and immersing into your lives.

We had the joy of hosting Sharon for a week. She's probably not your typical workawayer. For one, she's in her 70s BUT she has the energy of a fresh college grad. But she has really stood out from amongst all my previous workawayers. She's not only great company to have around, but she carries with her great wisdom, because simply put, she's been… read more
