    Description

    Hello Workawayer.

    I live Gemert in a lovely village in the south of the Netherlands and in the countryside, 30 KM from Eindhoven. It's a normal modern house and a garden. The village has several supermarkets and other shops and bars. I am 55 years old and have a 21-year-old daughter, an 18-year-old son and a girlfriend who sometimes live with me and sometimes don’t. My cat Moes is always with me. I am a cheerful, open and honest man, travel the world and work in IT for a lage brewery. I have experience a workawayer my self.

    I am currently busy tidying up and renovating my home and looking for some help and most of all a good company.

    Welkom in Gemert!
