Description
Hello
My name is Volker from Freiburg (the capital oft he black forest) and I am 61 years old. (I feel much more younger, perhaps because I do a lotosö. Since july I stay in Ireland. In the middle of august I will go to scotland. I travel with my motobike for 2 or 3 months.
My intention is not to stay all the time on the road. I want to stay with people from the country, working with them and learn something about the culture and the people. My hope is also that speaking english will be more easy to me.
I´m a practical type. I like to work in the fresh air and I am used to tackle.
I have a garden and I work very often with wood....and I'm vegetarian.
I work since 28 years as a ergo- and arttherapist in the psychiatric clinic of friburgo.

Volker came to stay for a couple of weeks and helped with gardening, tidying, designing and building a fence and painting it. He was an incredibly hard worker and very interesting person. We thoroughly enjoyed getting to know him and would love him to come and stay as a friend any time he would like.
