Description
I am German and Portuguese, 50 years old and have a 9 to 5 job. I have globe trotted the world from party to party, from place to place, and now I am back in my hometown Setúbal, living near the sea, or river, or both in my case is essential for me. I used to teach English, German and Portuguese while travelling, and helped on projects as well for housing.
Love all animals and plants, and with age, I gave myself more time to watch nature, not just stroll through it.
Love meeting different people and sit around the fire telling stories while grilling.
