Description
My wife (Lisé) and I (Dale) are a very active, recently-retired couple who participate regularly in tennis, pickleball, running, exercising, traveling and volunteering. We downsized from a fairly large estate and are focusing upon travel and experiences in retirement. Our goal is to not “tour” but to experience life in different locations and cultures — living and learning.
We (both age 61) are not afraid to work, as my wife loves gardening and I grew up on a sizeable farm (nearly 200 hectares) in the US. I have performed remodeling jobs and have driven heavy machinery and have a license in the US to drive tractor trailers as well as an international driver’s license.
We would love to commit to working for a host in exchange for accommodations and assisting us in learning the language, culture, cooking.and lifestyle.Interests
