That is quite a request. Strangely, it reminded me of someone who does something similiar (although not in that geography):

Fran Monks, wife of Financial Times economist Tim Harford.

Here's her bio, which sounds similiar to what you mentioned...

"I have worked as an environmentalist trying to change Shell International for five years. Now I am a freelance photographer and writer, trying to use my writing and pictures to change the world. I speak Chinese and Japanese, have a masters degree in environmental studies and have studied photography at Central St Martins School of Art, London and the Corcoran School of Art in Washington DC."

She also has a photo blog where she has pictures and stories about people who are usually involved in some non-profit or otherwise good cause.

I just spent a few weeks at a place up in southern Oregon. My heart has been sore since I left. If you're serious about making a bit change try this place. They are wonderful.

There is this fellow Ryan who lives out there and takes pictures for the local paper.
You'll have more luck doing a few things at once than trying to find the perfect gig.

I mean big change rather

It can seem scary to live away from cities but can make you feel mush more sane and serene. Try it.
