After a three years' pause from travelling with Workaway I feel it is time to update my profile.
Thanks to my experiences with Workaway hosts I have been able to share my skills and discover new european landscapes, such diverse treasures of Nature's beauty, I have become acquainted with the phonetics of the German, Swedish, Finnish languages, I have engaged with wonderful sometime intriguing but always endearing hosts. For me everyday is a new beginning. in all honesty, I am as curious and hungry to discover the wonders of the world, as I have always been. When a younger person, I knew it was essential to speak fluent English so I went to England to perfect my knowledge of the culture and language of that country and ended up living there for 17 years. I have also lived in Italy and Poland, two other countries I know fairly well.
I have had a career in the wine trade while in London but after a while decided to dedicate my time to raise my three children, to try and pass on to them essential values such as openess of mind, tolerance and self-respect. Now that they are grown-ups and on their own life-paths, I want to rekindle my life long interests of discovering new cultures, meeting lots of people and sharing my life skills and experience. So how marvellous to have discovered the possibility of travelling and sharing my skills with others.
I have always cared fro "green" issues, choosing ways of life that would have as low an impact as possible on our environment, being a vegeterian one of them.
I would prefer to help out for longer periods of time, anything from one month onwards and anywhere in Europe to start with, but not exclusively.
I have helped and visited nine different countries in Europe : Portugal, Belgium, Germany, Poland, Italy, Sweden, Finland,Sicily & Spain and I hope to be able to travel much further.Interessengebiete

Apart from speaking several languages, I am also artistically minded taking photographs mostly of the natural world which inspire me for my paintings ; I am a great organiser and communicator and I love putting my fingers in the soil digging, planting etc.. I can also do a good job with lime/sand joints on stone walls !
