Description
Hi, I'm Lori (Lawrence), 45 years old. I live in Altea, a beautiful village on the South East coast of Spain. I'm of English/Dutch origin but have lived most of my life in Altea. I'm happy with the simple things, peace of mind and feeling well, nature and friends. I'm interested in a bit of everything, trees, plants, agriculture, astronomy, languages, sailing, spirituality, history, traditions, how life used to be in the old days. I'm interested in most things except computers, (although I know the basics :-) ). I can cook, am good with older and younger people, love playing and having fun with kids!. I can drive and I'm a good handyman.

Hola!, me llamo Lori (Lawrence). Tengo 45 años y vivo en Altea cerca de la famosa Benidorm. Soy de origen Inglés/Holandés pero he vivido siempre en Altea. Feliz con las cosas simples, estar en paz y encontrarme bien, disfrutar de la naturaleza y los amigos. Me interesa un poco de todo, árboles, plantas, agricultura, astronomía, idiomas, navegar, espiritualidad, historia, tradiciones, como era la vida de antes, etc. Me interesa todo menos la informática (aunque sé lo básico :-) ). Se cocinar, me llevo bien con gente mayor y pequeña, conduzco y soy bueno haciendo arreglos.

The people, the place, the monumental trees, the lake, the skies! What an exceptional month of September I spent there.

David is very generous, caring, open and kind. I participated in his yoga classes and we enjoyed dining out on many occasions. I learnt many important… read more

One lovely long month with Dominique and Patrick!. This was my first work away and what a wonderful experience it was. Do & Pat made me me feel instantly at home, as part of the family.

Just whoua! What a wonderful experience. Meeting Lori is just extraordinary. Such a pleasant and efficient young man. His smile illuminates your days. His humour (very British) makes everyday fun and delightful. He works non stops, and perfection seems to be his best friend. He has an eye to spot what has to be improved, fixed, made more practical… read more
