If the situation doesn't seem to be working, I reserve the right to give you 2 days notice to leave. PRIOR NOTICE: 1 month (less if it's an emergency) LANGUAGES: English (fluent), German (ein bisschen), French (un petite peu) THE HOST: I am a 32 year old woman. Single. I work as a systems analyst/computer programmer at Duke University Medical Center. My interests are broad - I play drums (West African , Afro- Cuban and Middle Eastern). I dance (and teach dance) - in the African and Middle Eastern styles. I am an herbalist. I enjoy art and crafts (such as painting, batik, paper-making). I live in a large, beautiful house with 3 other very interesting women. I plan on travelling for the next year in order to study the use of healing herbs, art and dance/music in other cultures. OTHER: While travelling, I am interested in working. Doing odd jobs, teaching dance, music or English. Not just to make money (perhaps in exchange for room and board) but it would be a wonderful way to really get to know people, the language and the culture.
