Laura Miehls

I've always loved adventure travel and am now blending it with volunteering. I travel a lot for work and have averaged 100K+ miles the last couple of years (just need to figure out where to use all the frequent flier miles). In addition to volunteering with Habitat Global Village (Indonesia, Kenya, Malawi, Mongolia, Alaska, Bulgaria, South Africa), I've participated in local Habitat day builds in the Detroit area. For the last 20+ years I've been involved in a local warming center during the cold Michigan winters to prevent the homeless from freezing to death on the streets. In addition to my wanderlust, hobbies include photography, travel, golf, reading, movies, and being a Michigan Master Gardener.  I have been testing voluntourism with Habitat and a few other global organizations as I plan for retirement.   I am a lifelong resident of Michigan and love my four seasons (yes --- including the snow).  Looking forward to meeting all of you.
