I am an accountant by trade spending most of my working life doing this. I have worked as a sales representative in real estate also mainly selling residential land. I am a creative person as I worked for my father from a young age in the building industry so I am good with my hands. My father had a hobby farm when I was young and so enjoyed doing things around the farm. I love all types of animals and have had cats and dogs as pets. I have had 6 workaway stays in France since February 2020 and have picked up many skills and revisited others. I have been the most time at a chateau (and still am) in Pays de la Loire. I am well respected for my many skils including gardening, repair and restoration work.
