Travel information

I am currently

Description

I am 71 years old.
I am German. Four years ago I joined a spiritual group in Austria and got caught into regular gardening, cooking and other works relating to the group.
Later my spiritual interest urged me to go for experiencing foreign countries, cultures and people. So I am on the road since August 2021.

Even if "spiritual" sounds quite spacy I bring along many skills I have assembeled my long life through. My professions as biologist, small building enterprise , teacher and business consultant provide skills I gained mostly by self-education and may be of some help.

I have visited USA, India and several countries in European and Central America. I was married with a Polish woman, educated Russian immigrants and made business with people from Finland and India. I like the cultural exchange and the maturity you gain out of it.

Please don't mind my age - I am still strong and healthy. For example I like to help friends in relocating. It always comes up to me carrying the heaviest loads. And I am used to simple living standards - a yoga mat in a tent may be all right.
Please mind that I am vegetarian.

What I expect from you: Fate cut my pension to a low level. So I need to travel on minimal expenses in order to save money for the next flight.

What you can expect from me: I am more a silent continious worker, not a front liner. I will stress more on taking care of your facilities then spreading a grandiose atmosphere around your guests. I am more at home with substancial private talks.

Work I accomplished on WORKAWAY (see photos):
Panama: extension of a nursery for reforestation
Hawaii: transformation of a stonecircle into a lodge
Nicaragua: several construction and preservation tasks
