Description
We are an retired couple; Kyle as an Officer from the Canadian Military and Diana as a teacher in Nutrition and elementary French. We enjoy an active, physical lifestyle as well as travelling with purpose. We are looking very forward to cycling the Vallée de la Loire and Haut-Modoc region while there.
Having raised five children and having moved frequently (nationally/internationally), we do not shy away from work challenges. We work best as a couple and can readily adapt to most environments. We have travelled extensively in Europe with children, but are now eager to explore together various cultures in depth . We want to apply existing skills and acquire new ones in various fields. At the end of a hard day's work we always enjoy a convivial atmosphere! Hope to see you soon.
