Description
I’m a jazz musician, yearly going south for the wintertime. If there is not too much work or if it is raining I will keep busy reading books, listening to music and resting.

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
I am fluent in French, English and Dutch. I know a lot about jazz and improvisation. I like going places. I’m still working on a camper van. I’m always going to Sevilla and Istanbul. I’m learning Spanish.
Help
I can use help that consists of personal assistance. I have limb girdle muscular distrophy wich causes a weakening of the muscles. I am a wheelchair user. It’s a great help if there is someone around to help out in the house. Putting on and taking off my jacket, reaching stuff etc,... There is no medical personal care or lifting involved. I own a campervan. In winter I drive south as much as possible. In the van I have not the help I have at home so on the road the workaway becomes much more intensive.
