I am currently

Description

I am a team player and enjoy cooperating and exchanging ideas and projects with people of different cultures and backgrounds. d What motivates me is kindness, high energy and enthusiasm for causes that make a positive difference to the world. I love Nature and animals, especially dogs. I look at Nature in a holistic and life-enhancing way. I like to create beauty around me (alternative construction like superadobe, permaculture, harmonious and balanced garden design, mosaic,). My ultimate goal is to have my own plot of land to feed myself and raise bees, spend time doing artwork and sharing with the local community

More details about your skills

I was a language teacher for six years in England and the States. I retrained as a massage therapist with several modalities I trained in, in England, India and Thailand. I have more than twenty years experience in the field. I taught myself Feng Shui and love visualising harmony and balance around me. I am a very-hands person and hard-working; I was brought up on a farm in the French Pyrenees, so I was exposed to physical work at a very early age. I love gardening and alternative construction. Last year, I trained in superadobe construction in Mexico where I live now and I also did adobe work in India. I would like to learn and have more experience in permaculture and bee keeping. Anything that involves work in the great outdoors is good for me. Alternative medicine is another field I am particularly interested in and I trained in organic toiletries making although I have not turned it into a major activity yet. Herbal medicine, homeopathy, meditation and yoga are all subjects that fascinate me.

What else ...

I love hiking and go on solitary walks (I walked the Camino to Santiago de Compostela on four different paths, totalling 4500 kms). I also love cooking and being a good hostess (nothing makes me happier than seeing a big smile on a guest's face). My favourite food is all Mediterranean, followed by Thai and Indian cooking. I used to run my own B & B in Glastonbury (England), so I am used to and love making guests comfortable and happy. I like to give them a lot of information about the area (I am a bit of a research nerd). I am a clean, tidy person and enjoy making a place look functional, yet attractive. The same applies to a garden (I can spend hours pruning and weeding as a form of meditation)
