Descrição

Hello, I'm Gary from Seattle, USA. Open-minded, friendly, and known to have a sense of humor. I am a retired non-profit fundraiser (Seattle Children's Hospital) and teacher (SE Asia) with a lot of DIY handyman, home maintenance, and gardening - landscaping experience. Am a self-starter and good at working independently.

I enjoy travel, meeting new friends, projects of all kinds, teaching, staying active including beach time, yoga, biking, hiking, and learning new skills.

Travel plans include the UK in May, June, & July 2026, and Italy in August, September, & October 2026. I look forward to meeting you online and discussing possibilities.

Quais são suas habilidades?

I worked for Seattle Children's Hospital (USA) doing fundraising & event management for more than 20 years ... so am very good at project planning and organizing. I also have extensive handyman and gardening skills, both of which I enjoy doing a lot.

I have renovated a number of older homes (a passion) and built one new one - a learning experience that won't be repeated anytime soon.

In 2023 I spent five months helping friends in California restore a 65-year-old wooden sailboat (see photos) - an interesting, challenging, and satisfying project.

I have taught English and other subjects in Thailand for more than 10 years, mostly middle school & high school students but have also taught elementary (primary) students and university students / adults.

A long time ago I worked for the YMCA for seven years, managing youth programs including summer camps, sports leagues, and adventure trips for teens. I learned a lot about working with young people, much of which I still use today in teaching.

When involved in projects & activities I do my best to exceed expectations whenever possible. And I always try to have fun.

Traveling, teaching, and working on projects is enjoyable and rewarding for me. I also love the beach, yoga, hiking, blues music, vintage cars & bicycles, good fiction books, and quiet time.
