Hi there. I am Ann, living in Columbia, Maryland in the US. I've had a healthy addiction with travel since my 20s, over 70 countries and still counting. I managed to fit in a very fulfilling career in the nonprofit sector as director of various human service organizations. Fortunately, I've found nesting (almost) as good as moving ...I love interior design, collecting art, reading and gardening and have recently begun painting. Since retiring, I've volunteered with an animal welfare and local homelessness nonprofit. Kitties are my live in pets of choice, so I walk shelter dogs on the side . I'm excited to begin international housesitting, which presents a more casual way of enjoying a new locale while making animal friends. Happy to share my resume, which includes property management, great references. I have US Global entry status (with background clearance) . We can chat.
