  • Description

    I am a nurse practitioner and have worked in many aspects of the medical field. My position for the past 3 years was with refugee health services providing medical care for asylum seekers who have just entered the US. I love helping this population. The stories can be heartbreaking . At times our clients are badly injured , suffer from PTSD , chronic and acute illnesses . They are an incredibly resilient population. The job was so rewarding. A little kindness goes a long way.
    I love to travel and learn about other cultures. I have hosted many foreign students when my daughters were growing up and later became a Servas host. I retired a 18 months ago and have been traveling the globe ever since.I love experiencing new cultures and volunteering. I am very interested in learning more about healthy food production, sustainable living , alternative housing, water and wildlife conservation. I have no problem living simply as I am very concerned about the future of the planet . I enjoy working with children. I loved being a nurse and could be assistance to someone who is disabled or needs help with daily chores. Teaching disease prevention, healthcare and hygiene would be something I would enjoy as well . I love nature, music, hiking , biking . It brings me happiness to give back to people who haven't been blessed with the life I have . In my profession I have seen a great deal of suffering.
    My past travels include Turkey, Nepal, Jordon, Israel, Egypt, many European countries, Slovenia, Croatia, Bulgaria, Albania, North Macedonia, Montenegro, Vietnam, Thailand, Malaysia, Cambodia, Indonesia, Australia , New Zealand, Mexico, Costa Rica, Panama, Sri Lanka, Malaysia, Japan Colombia and Belize. My solo adventures have been very spontaneous often staying at hostels and taking all forms of public transportation. So far I have done 6 work aways and all but one were absolutely fantastic. I love the challenge of navigating a new country and adapting to an entirely different culture.
    I intend continue to traveling as long as I remain healthy and fit. The counties on my wish list are Romania, Estonia, Finland, Sweden, Iceland, Norway Georgia, the Stan's, Tunisia, Morocco, Oman, Ethiopia, Tanzania, Ghana , South Africa , Argentina , Chile, Suriname, Nicaragua and Guatemala. My itinerary is wide open depending on opportunities , global conflicts and any other unforeseen natural disasters as one must be flexible.
