    Description

    We are both gratefully enjoying the fruits of 40+ years of work (Andrea language teacher, Frans IT specialist). He repairs bicycles for workers in our resort. He is good with It BUT we both lost track of the fast IT developments and need help there. Also it was a necessity to invest in property in Oman if you want to live in the country. Living in a resort is great, but sometimes a challenge. Once in the comfort trap, I need motivation and support from honest, down-to-earth people to get going. I find it also difficult to keep up with fast changing digital life and would appreciate help there. You can expect to meet with us interesting people of many nationalities, beliefs, social status

    we cook together mainly things from the sea (we fish together) and from the garden.
