More details about your skills

20 years ago I took over a small hostel. Naturally there were many problems, So when I hired somebody to fix them I watch them so the next time I can do it myself. So I learned basic electricity, plumbing and construction. I taught myself web design and networking and learn to use different kinds of booking software.
I have a wide experience with power tools, including chainsaws. I like to fix things as well as chopping wood, Gardening, cleaning, cooking, basic web design using WordPress, PC and peripheral troubleshooting... I speak 5 languages. When I owned a small B&B in Florida, I hired lots of volunteers through work away, but I'm still learning myself!
I love dogs and giving them love and attention!

Age

58

What else ...

I enjoy hiking, cycling, folk dancing (contra and English country dancing) cooking and trying new recipes and just meeting people and learning about their culture and talking to people about TRAVEL.
When I was on holiday in Prague, some hostellers told me that I had to visit Olomouc, once there people told me to visit Krakow and from there I had to visit Zakopane ..Speaking with one's fellow travelers opens up so many new doors to new adventures!
J'ai vraiment envie d'ameliorer mon français, et de rencontrer des français, ik hou ook Van Nederlands! Quiero tambien praticar mi Espanol!
My favorite thing is food, so I like regional recipes!
I would also like to learn more about yoga and qi gong...
Also love throwing a frisbee and always travel with one!
I ran my own hostel for 20 years, and have vast experience with that, so I enjoy helping people make hostel plans, improving systems and profitability, as well as tackling maintenance. I hired many of my volunteer staff through workaway, and always dreamt of being the volunteer. Now here I am!
