More details about your skills
OK, I am a handyman and a gardener! I am 37. I am married. I should probably cut my hair more often. I have eco-anxiety I want to transform into eco-ACTION. I want to know about regenerative farming and one of my dreams is to create beautiful and bountiful gardens in my home - which is Edinburgh, Scotland.
I don't speak Spanish, German or French fluently... but I can manage a few words and want to learn more.
I want to see places and interact with activities and people. I don't just want to consume! I want to go on adventures with my wife, Lucy. Just like Rick and Evelyn from the 1999 classic movie, 'The Mummy' ;-)
We want to learn languages and spend more time away from 'the rat race' - and this enables us to do that. :-) -
