Description

Our family has worked and traveled throughout Asia, Oceania, Europe, and the Americas. We are international project managers and team leaders who are looking for a 3-6 month experience before our next assignment.

Between the two of us, we have done a little of everything - working on a farm in Norway and a zoo in Oregon, building houses in the Solomons and basketball courts in Paraguay, teaching carpentry in Azerbaijan and language learning in Cambodia, underwater mapping the Wakatobi Marine preserve and leading underwater tours in Sri Lanka, leading NGO development and furniture manufacturing in Mexico, and working in restaurants in El Salvador, Hawaii, and Japan.

We have volunteered all over the world - with shelters for the abandoned elderly and survivors of domestic violence, skills-building classes for children living on the street and in under-resourced communities, editing sociology papers and children’s novels, developing museum exhibitions, attending to animals in shelters, and giving public presentations and fundraising.

Some of our favorites things: teaching, cooking, building, writing, vegetable gardens, animals, motorcycles, construction, ikebana, persimmons, cribbage, art, off-roading, hiking, scuba diving, books, yoga, meditation, knitting, poetry.
