Profile information
Description
Im a 68 years old time served bricklayer -stonemason. I have worked and lived all over the UK and Ireland. Also New York, verious parts of Germany, Holland and Belgium. I love to travel and meet people different parts of the world. I particularly like the outdoor life, probably because, my occupation dictates that the majority of my work is performed outside. Back in the middle 1980s I had a construction company that employed over 300 . Unfortunately, like many others, my company had to go into liquidation in 1993 due to massive resession that the UK was experiencing at that time. I'm extremely fit, I still cycle 30-35 km few times a week, and am in the gym most days. My passion are dogs, and my faith in God ( I'm Catholic) . At the moment I'm back in Ireland, after travelling through South East Asia( Thailand, Vietnam, Laos, China) and Europe ( Hungary, Serbia, Montenegro, Albania, Italy and France) for the last 8 months. ( last year , I travelled for 3 months through Europe, and Cambodia for 2 months) I have experienced workaways in Europe and Thailand and have thoroughly enjoyed my time doing so. .I enjoy reading, chess, and conversation, and being as close to nature as possible.

I am 68 years old, time served bricklayer - stonemason. I have worked and lived in New York, Athens, Germany, Holland, Belgium, Ireland, and all over the UK. I'm passionate about physical fitnes,( I cycle 30km most days), and am in the gym at least 5 days a week). I love animals, especially dogs,and love traveling and meeting people from different cultures. I'm currently visiting Albania, and am eager to start with one of your hosts. I feel I would be an asset to any host that is particularly looking for construction skills, though I'm quite willing to do other chores as I really enjoy helping people achieve their dreams.
