Description
I love swimming in the sea, snorkeling and travel. I have carpentry and joinery skills, though my main work experience was in creating and distributing greeting cards . I have made lots of furniture and equipment for my partner's Montessori schools, and also structures like wicking beds, compost heaps, greenhouses for our gardens. I like making stuff , and I am always happy in a woodworking shed. I read history, trying to understand how we got to where we are now. I like Indian food, and have travelled in India many times, and had businesses importing jewellery and textiles from there.
We have helped as woofers , to build a straw bale house in the French Pyranees. We owned a farm for 5 years where we hosted many woofers, so we have experience of both sides of helping. We lived in New Zealand for 15 years, before moving to Australia.
