Description
Hello, My name is Rene I'm from Holland and I have a house on the island of Aruba in the caribbean, Close to Venezuela. I lIve in the Netherlands in a smal village close to Amsterdam. In my daily work I am a Fireman I am married and I have two children. Several times a year I go to my house on Aruba to escape the hectic of Amsterdam. try to workout a little bit swimming every morning and afternoon, and do some maintenance work in the morning before it gets to hot on this old bungalow. And of course do a lot of relaxing and reading. Just enjoying the caribbean way of live.
Types of help and learning opportunities
Gardening
General Maintenance
Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
This House is build in the south of aruba at the point where the feeling will be that there is no tourism at all on the island. Dispite youre very close to the beach there is a true local feeling at Seroe Colorado, an old oil managers colony from the period before worldwar II. A few bungalows in a desert like envirement. Very quiet, no traffic, but every morning a dip into the sea or a little bit of jogging. Or go on a mountain bike and explore the area.
Help
The help we need is not to difficult it includes a little bit of painting and assisting the owner with some general maintenance tasks like repairing wall outlets or changing hinges and locks. Maybe a little gardening.
