Beschreibung
After two years of art academy, I started travelling at the age of 20. The world seemed to present a richer education than any school could offer.
I worked on my travels, many times as volunteer. Or worked to save money to travel, mainly in Holland and Ireland and the last 12 years in the Czech Republic where lives my 18 year old daughter.
I worked in workshops and factories but also a lot outside: gardening, helping on farms (cows, horses, goats, sheep, chickens, bees) and for a few years in an Irish community looking after people with disabilities.
Learned the skill of basketry (willow) and taught others.
For one year I looked after an elderly couple in an old manor house in Ireland, minding their medication, cooking them simple meals and feed the deer in their walled enclosure.
I pointed walls, built stepping stones in gardens.
Worked two years in a bronze foundery, welding bronze statues, a job I loved.
For seven months I was in a Romanian orphanage with an Irish organisation, to improve conditions and stimulate children who had suffered severe neglect.
On the moment, after time spent in the Scottish Highlands, I decided to settle in Austria and have my own quiet place for a while. Surrounded by my books. Hoping to be back on the road again in a few years' time. May whoever reads this stay well and in good spirits.Gesprochene Sprachen

Life is about learning. Though I love my books (philosophy, literature), the ultimate experience is out there, within circumstances dictating what needs doing.
New people, new situations, always adapting.
Besides having interesting conversations, I love to be practical as well. And learn in the process.Etwas mehr Information

Having him around is great. He is disciplined, he can build and carry, comfortable with tools and he does a wonderful job even with an old wheelbarrow.

This is, first of all, an atmospheric old courtyard in the shadow of an ancient algarrobo tree surrounded by adobe buildings and the soul of the old craft of basketry.

Not only is there the superb landscape, majestic views from the farm inviting for trekking in the weekends. (Mind you, the "hill" close to the farm is a steep 1700m climb.) There is also the farm itself - it takes time to understand.
