Description
Covid 19 has changed so much. At this time I only accept fully vaccinated and boosted workawayers who are willing to provide a copy of their vaccination record. I hope this will change in the not too distant future.
I am a hospitable, mature woman, living in a inner ring suburb of Cleveland, Ohio. I am mother of 5 adult children with many grandchildren. I am a gourmet cook in many cuisines, enjoy mostly classical music, have a wonderful Wheaten terrier. My interests are varied from the arts, science, culture, language, etc. Before Covid I volunteered for several performing arts organizations but I have had to give that up but I am hoping to resume as the virus numbers improve.
In my professional life I was adjunct professor of photography, both analog and digital. I also had my own portrait studio until my retirement in 2011.

Echange culturel et opportunités d'apprendre
I am a retired adjunct professor of photography and am fairly knowledgeable about plants and gardening and would happy to share any of that knowledge.
I am an accomplished and creative cook in many cuisines and would be happy to teach those skills to another. I am happy to accomodate any dietary needs/desires and create menus around those needs/interests.
I live near top cultural and medical institutions including a vibrant public theater (CPT), Cleveland Museum of Art, Cleveland Orchestra, the second largest theater district in the US, University, Metro and Cleveland Clinic to name but a few.
Lake Erie is awesome, Cleveland Metro Parks, Cleveland Zoo, Aquarium.
Cleveland is a culturally diverse city with lots of rich experiences in other cultures from the Maltz Museum of Jewish Heritage to China town, Little Italy, a Polish Opera company to mention but a few.

Hébergement
Quiet home with private, clean and comfortable bedroom in inner ring suburb of Cleveland. Shared bath, laundry, wifi, TV but no cable, piano. You may prepare your own meals or share mine as you wish and schedules allow. Wonderful Wheaten terrier. Does not shed and therefore usually OK for folks with allergies.
Autres infos...
I am a mature active woman.
I do a lot of volunteer work for local theaters and music organizations and therefore often away evenings. You may wish to volunteer or may take advantage of vouchers I may have for various performances.
As previously mentioned, my home is quiet. It is not my practice to have television or radio on. I use head phones when listening to mostly NPR. I do practice piano and violin. Don't expect a professional. I am a beginning student of these instruments.
I live near top cultural and medical institutions, Cleveland Museum of Art, Cleveland Orchestra, University, Metro and Cleveland Clinic to name but a few.
Lake Erie is awesome, Cleveland Metro Parks, Cleveland Zoo, Aquarium, Lake Farm Park, Chapin Forest, Amish communities near by.
Good public transportation but am willing to provide transportation when planned in advance.
