    Travelling

  • Description

    I am a recent retiree and I m excited about the new travelling chapter of my life. Some of my happiness lies in having played a loving guiding hand in raising 2 wonderful adults to whom I promised I wouldnt go off travelling until they were firmly on their own two feet. I am outgoing and good fun and loving being with people (as long as I get quiet "me" time). I enjoy a good level of fitness and enjoy gym, yoga, cycling, dancing, hiking and watersports. I know happiness is an inside job and get such pleasure from the simplest of things. A flower, a smile from a baby, a beautiful landscape a shared bottle of wine with good conversation. When people ask me about "my child within" I reply, she's hardly ever in she 's always out playing.

  • More details about your skills

    Professionally I was a children and family Social worker and latterly a Careworker for elderly people.
    As a side hustle I have done Swedish and seated acupressure massage but not for a few years and no longer have insurance cover. I have practiced Capacitar which is a community education on self wellbeing practice. Also out of practice but would find it easy to pick up again.
    I had my own small holding and grew veg, kept hens and ducks for eggs. Had a hive of bees for just over a year. Had sheep, pigs and turkeys for our own consumption. I am now pescatarian but happily handle and cook meat for others.
    For my own pleasure but also in support of young people I have skied, kayaked and sailed.
