Descrição

Hi, I am a fun-loving, active, energetic traveller who loves people, conversation, nature, animals, hiking and travel. As a recently retired teacher, I have 30 years of experience working with youth, parents and communities. My greatest pleasure is to see them thrive and progress through this collaboration, to support associated sport/club activities and to build leadership and stronger relationships, all with a lot of patience and humour. I've lived and worked multiple times in Africa, Europe and across Canada. I see that the more connected we all are in the world, the better. I am neat and tidy, organized, relaxed, get along with all kinds of people, am a good team player and work hard.

Any experiences where I can meet and connect with local people and other travellers, remain active, learn, laugh and enjoy and work in nature, including animal care are a great fit for me ... whether its gardening, home cleaning or child/pet care or language learning and building. I am a quick learner. Please read my reviews.

Quais são suas habilidades?

I was a teacher and community volunteer for over three decades. Its been my privilege to teach young people to love mathematics (yes, really!), science, physical education, and French! I have taught in three Canadian provinces, two African countries, China and the Netherlands. Along with my two children, now 26 and 27, I have travelled and taught extensively throughout Europe and Africa.

I consider myself handy in the garden and have created many around the homes where I have lived. I pride myself on leaving the places I have lived in better condition than when I arrived. At workaways, I have happily worked in homes and hostels cleaning, cooking, fixing and repairing .. and on farms doing animal care, haying, digging, tree and bush maintenance, fire safety and cultivation work. I love meeting others and get along easily with people of all ages and learning from them. I love to laugh.

I am a very fit and active person. I enjoy hiking (especially the Camino), running and weight training. I especially enjoy nature and have explored extensively throughout Europe, Africa and Canada. Over my career I have coached a variety of teams in sports such as volleyball, kayaking and cross country running.

I am a very flexible, caring and energetic person who is always seeking out new adventures. My ability to adapt to new situations and surroundings has allowed me to experience a multitude of opportunities. My core values include building peace through strong personal relationships, environmental sustainability, helping others and building stronger communities. These values have opened my life to new situations where I can use my experiences to learn new things and create new and lasting connections.

I follow direction well and always go beyond what is required.

I absolutely love animals, of all kinds.
