Caryl h.

I am retired as CEO of mid-size to large sized NGOs in the USA. Now, I am an author, podcaster, small video producer, and strategic life coach and CBT practioner working primarily via internet, SKYPE, and telephone. Originally from Northern California, the San Francisco Bay Area, Monterey Bay Area and Napa Valley, I’ve lived in Connecticut for 10 years. I have traveled internationally my entire life, usually on my own. I attended a private high school in Japan, ASIJ and studied at CCAC, UC Berkeley, Stanford and other SFBA universities.
For the past few years, I have been tied to Connecticut and shorter trips via car because of Rebel, my aussie cattle dog who would have been 15 in July 2017. I had to let go of Rebel very recently, and while it has broken my heart, it has also set me free to once again travel and ultimately find the place I want to settle down in the EU.
I have always had animals, spending part of every summer working line on a cattle ranch in California when I was a small girl. I have never been without a dog before, and usually cats have figured in my life as well. I have ridden since I was very small and in years past I have owned horses. In fact, I aided in the birth of my little Arab, No Tie Required (Tie), and raised her up to be a bomb proof pleasure horse until I had to sell her because of life circumstances. I have even helped raise a Siberian tiger and a California mountain lion, and worked with several other exotic animals thanks to a long-term relationship with an exotic animal trainer.
In 2020 I end up in Europe, making my new home Portugal. The point of taking on this housesitting/pet care life style was to explore different regions that interest me as potential places to settle in a few years, and to get my animal fix without taking on the responsibility of ownership. From July 2017 through the end of December 2018, I've been pet and house sitting in the USA. From January 2019, I did the same outside the USA before settling down.
I am extremely tidy and clean. I am healthy and willing to learn what I don’t know. I am single with no real desire to be otherwise. While I only speak English, I can quickly reacclimate to Spanish, French and German because I used to read and write these languages. I am learning Portuguese. I am respectful and quick to acknowledge my short comings in speaking a language and very willing to learn and be laughed at when I make mistakes in language. I’ve never found it to be a barrier in my
