Description
I am from Ireland, but now I live in Santa Pola, of Alicante province. I have 60 years, male, home owner.
I live with one friendly dog.
I am interested in artistic designs, mosaic tiling, art, culture, music, recycling, garden, DIY, photography.
At times I seek additional help for projects.
This can be painting or light general maintenance, or tiling or photography collaboration or dog minding.
The house has 2 bedrooms with their own key to enter, and ventilation and ample terrace and garden space.
I am very easy going, very open minded, of good health and I live a life without alcohol or drugs.
A friendly greeting
Michael

My animals / pets
Pico_de_Alicante
Pico_de_Alicante (13 years)
Pico is a beautiful, very super friendly, and an affectionate dog. He has his own IG account.
I don't know his exact DOB, as he was abandoned when he was two years.
I adopted him 11 years ago.
Recently he has lost his eyesight, or rather has very blurry vision.
So if I host any Workawayer, he/she must have experience with dogs.
It's not just put a leash on him and take him outside to pee.
