Description
Hello, nice to digitally meet you! My name is Brian, I am 49 years, currently living in the Netherlands and I am very dedicated to find a way to build a life in Ireland. I have lots of paid working experience in hospitality and facility but my heart feels at home when I make art, go out in nature or meet new people, listen and share wisdom from life experiences.

More details about your skills
There are lots of things I can do and also lots of things I can learn and maybe some things that I cannot do after trying, so this is quite a difficult question to answer.
I have more than 20 years working experience in several jobs, always hands on and either guiding teams or working independently.
Besides that I am creative, love to paint, write and photograph.
I believe the most important thing is that I am a hard worker and am willing to do whatever needs to be done.

49

What else ...
For the past 10 years I have a solid dream to be able to build a life in Ireland. I would love to set up/ join a place where people can come to have a break, I would love to be a host for people who want to share their stories I am there to listen, give people the opportunity to be creative and guide them on walks in nature.
To be a coach/ counsellor if they need one or to just give the opportunity for people to retreat. I believe we live in a very demanding world where productivity is the religion but if we only live for that it crushes our souls. My main teachers in the past 12 years are Tara Brach, Mark Nepo and John O'Donohue amongst others.
