Travelling
Description

I’m escaping the madness of London to travel around Europe for a while. I’m currently finishing editing a cookbook and working on a screenplay so am seeking some meaningful work in the countryside to stimulate and inspire whilst working on my various projects after a solid days work. I love to cook, swap stories and want to fully experience life in a Europe as a local. My dream one day to buy a house and set up a little farm somewhere on the outskirts so any advice how to do so would be greatly appreciated. Looking forward to meeting some like minded people on my journey.

More details about your skills

I have a love for the outdoors and a keen interest in gardening. I’d also like to learn more about permaculture and horticulture. I’m physically fit and love looking after and caring for animals. I’ve grown up with both dogs and cats and have much experience sitting for them for others. I’m happy to help with cleaning and maintaining a happy home as well as painting and other various housekeeping duties. I was a chef for several years and still love to cook.
All in all, I am willing to contribute in every positive manner that I can.
