I am enjoying the Spring in Northern New England gardening, cycling, golfing, foraging? I love hanging w/ pup and cat, sneaking in a board game and a shared meal with housemates or friends...or a song
Description
I am a youthful, adventurous, friendly, hard working, and an engaging 60 yo mom, sister, daughter, friend, English teacher and registered nurse. Currently, I am running a home based business that feeds my heart and soul in creating shared experiences for travelers who come to my part of the world. My partner of 32 years and I had many adventures including our favorite, raising three thoughtful and conscientious sons. We decided to support each other in pursuing very different interests/goals and cheerlead each other on with divorce. Shortly after, he was diagnosed with early onset dementia and I am proud to say I prioritized supporting my boys and helping navigate his care until he passed a few months ago. What a journey life is! I am so grateful for the challenges as well as the pure joys. I am excited about new freedom to travel and explore personal
passions more deeply and still hold dear my life's lessons. I share loose care of my 90 year old parents with my siblings and am committed to them. I also have a big investment in my personal gardens and interests in living more simply and repurposing, recreating and skills sharing vs. money spending all the time. With degrees/certifications in English, Nursing, Conflict Studies, Fundraising and Nonviolent Communication, TESOL and Master Gardening, I approach projects with a plethora of skills and interests. I initiated/coordinated our volunteer projects in SE Asia, India, Indonesia and Malaysia, Spain and Morocco, and Tanzania In the last two years I went solo to Chile, Spain , the Canary Islands and most recently to Ecuador in June with stellar reviews and glowing feedback. I am phasing out of my rental adventures and community building here that brings me great joy, creativity, connection, purpose and primary source of income and it has been supported by work trade. The reason is that I seek my forever home...possibly abroad but definitely purpose and caused based. I have hosted many Workaway travelers and Wwoofers and am very appreciative of the win/win of the programs and constant magic we experience in just staying present and compassionate with these connections. I consider life a journey not destination and fueled by curiosity and care not cash.... that I can enhance others' lives through my travel and my life can be transformed through theirs. I am open to another opportunity to learn, grow and to be more than do. Isn't it a challenging and exciting balance?

Quelles sont vos compétences ?
Cary has a BA in English, a nursing degree (20 years' experience) and certification in mediation, TESOL and holistic health modalities. I currently host a bustling Airbnb adventure with a groovy 60s theme on an island in Maine. I run cycling programs both road and mountain for disadvantaged kids and low income families. I am a long time student of Marshall Rosenburg's Non Violent Communication and interested in building community and learning more about Earth supporting alternative and progressive practices. I am committed to "walking my talk" as I stay open to and grateful for new experiences and ways of thinking/being in the world. I look forward to meeting you and enriching each others' lives.
