Hello,
I live in Boulder, Colorado. This morning I went on a trail run close to my home--I love being active and have pet-sat many friend's dogs who required daily exercise. I love to ski as well, and I do a bit of yoga every day. I LOVE to cook and grow food, and have cooked professionally at one point in my life. (Recently foraged nettles while on a hike and came home and made homemade ricotta-nettle ravioli). I'm adept at canning and preserving food.
I've been a freelance photo stylist in commercial photography for almost 30 years and I'm ready to do something more. I love to travel and have traveled to Europe extensively. I have WWOOF'd in Italy and France, taking care of sheep & horses, bed and breakfast, cooking, gardening, cleaning, ironing, etc. etc.
During Covid quarantine I stayed at my family's Farm in South Dakota, and was able to reestablish my Mom's perennial gardens, as well as build two waist-high growing boxes, and I pruned and maintained small bushes and trees. I have A+ protocol for health/safety. I'm extremely aware and careful.
Growing up on a cattle farm, I was always around animals. I always had a horse, a dog, and plenty of barn-cats! One year I had a calf that I raised to sell at auction.
I now own three properties with seven rentals in Colorado and Utah, so I understand what it takes to keep up a home and lawn/garden. Except for electric and plumbing, I'm able to do most of the work myself--painting, basic repairs, landscaping etc. I own and know how to use power tools :)
I don't drink very often. I don't smoke anything or do drugs of any kind. I love being healthy, taking care of my body and the body of the planet (for a few years I had a small produce business that bought organic produce at the Farmer's Market in Boulder, CO and sold/delivered it to local chefs).
I have actually traveled in and around 49 of the 50 states in the US except for Mississippi, and have traveled in most of Europe and to the Yucatan/Mexico, and Chile & Guatemala. I can read a menu fairly well in Spanish, Italian, German & French. I love walking through markets and grocery stores in foreign countries. I LOVE music but cannot carry a tune. Love to read. And my favorite thing in the world, I think, besides food, is DRIVING!
I'm very down-to-earth and chill.
Here's my work website, just so you can see a bit more about me... www.carolbeaver.com
No allergies except sulfa-drugs.
I really appreciate you taking this time.
Cheers, Carol
