My skills
We are traveling couple. I love teaching fitness, pickleball, reading, English, and gardening. My husband is the ultimate handyman, he is meticulous and works to a very high level of quality doing plumbing, electrical, construction, landscaping and is an artist as well. We both love traveling and want to meet new friends around the world. We are looking for a stay of a few months, long enough to get to know a place and put down some roots. Would like to bring our little dog along, if possible.

About Me
I am a retired physiotherapist. My specialties are orthopedics, work injury rehabilitation, and vestibular care.
I am interested in working light jobs on a farm gardening, cooking, child or animal care. I have travelled a fair amount and I am also a pickleball enthusiast. If the opportunity arises, I would like to spread the passion for playing to Europe and around the world. I also have a passion for helping children learn to read and have been volunteering in local public schools for 2 years.
