Description
Hi, I'm Ray, originally from Cape Town, South Africa and dual Swiss nationality. I speak English and have a basic level of Spanish and German.My interests and hobbies include traveling, music, hiking, animals, food and cultures and permaculture. I just finished travelling around Asia and now I would like to learn more about off-grid living and organic farming.
I think this is a great platform to meet new people, learn and discover new things. I have been a volunteer on and off since 2013 and have done a wide variety of jobs including gardening, painting, maintenance tasks, caring for animals and various others. I am independent and responsible, open-minded, fast learner and can work well alone and with others. I enjoy the outdoors and countryside and easy going when it comes to food, I basically eat everything!
Hope to see you soon.
Warm Regards
Ray
