Description
Hi to all the lovely hosts around the world. I am British, and an English teacher and have spent time in Africa India & China in the past. I am now spending 2 years traveling around the world and helping where I can by doing all kinds of voluntary work. I am easy to get along with and happy to help in any way I can. My past life has been occupied by teaching or secretarial work in hospitals, but my hobbies are house renovation, and interior design, also cooking and yoga, meditation, cycling, and walking. I am keen to learn about organic farming and ecological projects are high on my list. I am also trained in Thai massage, Indian head massage and am now learning iridology. and CBT, I love to meet new friends on my journey and look forward to helping out any way I can. Sadly with Covid restrictions, I have been stuck in the UK for the last 18 months, but itching to get back to my travel and voluntary work. I am a member of Helpx.org. I am also a member of Couch surfing my profile page link is http://www.couchsurfing.org/people/lindirobby/. Feel free to check my references. Namaste to you all....With hugs
