Description
Hello, my name is Dan and I am a retired automotive quality systems engineer. Since my retirement in 2010, I have taught English in Ecuador, Honduras, China, and Thailand and most recently, I was the first grade teacher at Grace English School in Guatemala. (https://www.graceenglishschool.org/). I recently completed three international assignments with Doctors Without Borders in South Sudan, Liberia, and Papua New Guinea as the site logistician responsible for site construction, vehicles, warehousing, water, electricity, sewer, security, etc. I am handy with construction and I can do basic carpentry, plumbing and electrical work.
I am a hardworking, easy-going team player looking for an opportunity to contribute to communities while I continue to explore the world.

Hello, I mostly travel internationally but because of covid-19, I am staying locally for now. I have my own camper van and I am willing to help out anywhere in the northwestern part of the USA for 3-4 weeks at a time in exchange for a place to park and "maybe" food. Thanks--Dan, and I have had my covid vaccination.
I am mature, flexible, and I have lived in community/home environments many times in the past. I do not drink alcohol, smoke, or do drugs, and I enjoy living a quiet and simple life.

I stayed with Leonora and Ferd for six weeks and they are great people. They are kind, accommodating, funny, cheerful, inviting, cordial, interesting, learned, respectful, peaceful, well-traveled, worldly, and tri-lingual. There is nothing not to like! The housing and wifi are good, the work was fair and I was able to work autonomously. The… read more

I was a volunteer English teacher at Xavier School in Chandrawati for nearly 6 weeks. Chhabi, Laxmi, and Sharmila are great people and if you are looking for the real Nepalian experience, this is the real deal. The students can be a little challenging but they are nice and the school does a good job with limited resources. The area is safe and… read more

Dan is a professional teacher. As he helped us with teaching he's perfect for us. He knows exactly what to do in the classes and really educated our students even just a short time. Dan is also easy to host and communicate. He's welcome back anytime.

Dan is certainly one of the best workwayers we ever had. He is friendly, conscientious, adventurous, and highly competent. During his month with us, he accomplished a great deal, and had been, besides, great company. You'd be lucky to have him.
