Description
Recently taken early retirement after a long professional career in business. On my path to 'reinvent myself' and experience something different from office life. Willing to use my new freedom to be of help in interesting and meaningful projects, whether a farm house, business or simply 'homemaking'. I come with ordinary everyday skills, have looked well after my own house and garden. Look forward to meeting reliable, interesting and kind people. Keen on foreign cultures, way of life and learning new skills and languages. Love animals, travel, children, nature and outdoors. Also happy to use my skills from my professional field (Business, Marketing and Communications).
