Description

Enthusiastic ! This is my main attribute.
To young to stop working, I would like to discover new experiences. After a long and tough career in journalism, communication and education, I would like to do what was impossible for me during my working life : discover new experiences, nice people and try to help thanks to my experience in différent fields. I am easy going. Even if I worked as an intellectual, I have many manual skills (related to building, sailing boats, horse care). For instance, I renovated several houses in Belgium where I Iive… I love fun but when i work, I work hard !
Since I worked more than 30 years in the media industry, I could help for any kind of communication (print, digital, photography, strategy, coaching for interviews, etc.).
I travelled a lot, sometimes for professional reasons : Africa, Asia, North-America, etc. I made a lot of horse-riding hikings : Jordan, Albania, Senegal, Kirghizie, Croatia, Italy, etc. With regard to languages, I would like to improve the languages I already speak (Eng., It., Dutch) and learn German and Spanish.

I had an absolutely amazing time at Mario and Ana's place where cats and dogs are kings. They are hosts with extraordinary kindness, deeply interested in a multitude of topics, and capable of engaging in intelligent conversations—who knew such beings existed outside of my own sons? Ana was a saint, showing the patience of a thousand angels while … read more

Didier was boldly honest in his profile to mention that he is "too young to stop working" because he was very helpful with my small garden and construction projects. He is so energetic and and full of life. He was up for anything at the spur of a moment. He cooked delicious food from his homeland and baked a special bread which he said didn't come … read more

I had a wonderful stay at Dinsin's house. He went out of his way to ensure that my stay was as enjoyable and interesting as possible. It was a true immersion of ten days into Trinidadian life, not the typical tourist experience along the seaside, but the authentic everyday life near the fields.
Dinsin took me everywhere, introducing me to his … read more

Didier was an excellent workawayer whom we got along with very well. We laughed a great deal as his sense of humor is great. He is intelligent and we had many interesting conversations about many different subjects. Apart from his personality, he is also a very good worker. He really has a lot of experience with building, DIY, electricity, and he … read more

I spend one week in June with Karin and Luc (and forgot to leave my feedback!). They are incredibly kind, grateful and respectful :it was a pleasure to work alongside Luc who stays at home while Karin goes to work. We used to working before noon in their splendid farm and go cycling in the afternoon to discover the marvelous countryside, … read more

Sympathique expérience de deux semaines auprès de Manu et Pascal qui ont des trésors de choses à partager. Même s'ils sont fraîchement implantés à la Martinique (provenant de La Réunion), ils s'efforcent de nouer des liens avec les locaux par de multiples initiatives (réseaux sociaux, activités ludiques, etc.). Ce faisant, ils permettent de goûter … read more
