More details about your skills
language skills - C12 in English and German, C1 in Italian, B2 in Spanish
ready to do manual jobs (I like working with animals, feeding them, picking manure, cleaning stables)
I´m a teacher but as a volunteer, I´ve done lots of things (helping in the kitchen or at the building site).
I´ve worked in Germany, England, Italy and the Canary islands.
Working with children or the elderly suits me best but I´m ready to learn new things.
I like playing the guitar and singing, I like modelling with clay.
I don´t consider myself a sportsman but I´ve run a few marathons. I love being outdoors with my sons or ther children and young people.
The thing I´m looking for is a place where I can come and help with my second son and my nephew (both 16). We´d love to explore new places, meet new people and, ideally, improve my Spanish.

What else ...
As I mentioned earlier, I´m looking for a place where I can come with my 16-year old son and nephew. Both are fun to be with, hard-working, sporty boys.
We´ve got a cat and a dog so dogsitting or catsitting shouldn´t be a problem to us (we´ve done some guineapig-sitting too, if you can call it this way).
Oh yes, one more thing: I´m chairman of a local mycological club so I teach people to identify mushrooms and other fungi, I organise local mushroom exhibitions and workshops. So if you´d like to learn about mushrooms, we´re ready.
