Description

Hello! I’m an experienced art teacher with an interest in travelling, being out in nature and animals, meeting new people, having new experiences and being useful! I’m English, 42, gay with a good sense of humour!

I’m organized, naturally creative (both visually and in problem-solving). I’m looking to visit interesting places where I can hopefully help and make a difference!

I love walking/hiking, exploring, painting and drawing, nature and animals. I live alone so am reasonably independent and good around the house (tidy, organised, can cook a decent meal!) I also like to keep fit so access to a bike or the places to run and walk outside would also be great!

I like to be social but also like my own time to relax.

I am interested in being somewhere where I can be helpful but also in a place with access to animals, great hikes around nature. I am happy to help with any creative projects involving making and drawing. ;-) I have always had a little dream of working on a small farm!..even though I know it is a lot of work!

I eat absolutely anything and everything so vegan/veggie/meat diets are not an issue! I always like to try new food and help to cook it as well!

In August 2022 I returned to the UK after 6 years living in Valencia. I have an intermediate level of Spanish so always happy to try and speak in Spanish if you have enough patience for me! ;-)
