Description
Hi
My name is Rodney. Time to get back on the road again. I love exploring the nature, culture, history, language, art and food of new places, meeting new friends and working with interesting people.
Workwise I am fairly dexterous. I have spent most of my life working one on one with the public. I am also pretty good at manual and artistic projects. I have just finished renovating the house I bought 1 1/2 years ago and landscaping the gardens front and rear and gained a high level of satisfaction seeing the end results.
Both my daughters have left home now so its my time to go out and explore again. I have been around a lot of Europe and have spent time in the USA, Venezuela and Ecuador.

I have many years experience working with the public in the retail and service sector and am a good listener with excellent communication skills. I have employed staff with learning disabilities and fully believe everyone should be given the best possible chance. My 8 year old niece has Down Syndrome and I have taken part in fund raising for her local charity and love seeing the joy on the faces of the children it has been able to help.
I had a business making hand crafted Celtic design mirrors and then moved on to making and selling furniture.
I love nature and gardening and have designed and landscaped three gardens. I love cooking and gained an NVQ in food preparation.
I can drive a 7.5 ton truck and use a forklift.
I have a good range of DIY skills and have just finished renovating a house.

Though unfortunately I did not have the pleasure of meeting him in person, during my time away our property managers worked with Rodney and gave flying thumbs up for him. He was skilled, friendly and everything you hope for in a volunteer.
Thank you Rodney and I hope our paths… read more
