Description

Hello, I am Willem, my age is 48 years, I live in the Netherlands in a crowded city, but I love the calm and quiteness of the countryside, being outside in nature. I am experienced in gardening and would love to help you out; make your garden clean and beautiful. I love animals, especialy cats and dogs. Working on a farm with animals would be nice too, although I have never done that before, you can teach me. Hard work is no problem for me.
My hobbys are swimming, fitness and hiking. I am interested in all things spiritual.

Gardening is my passion. It gives me a lot of satisfaction to make a garden beautiful, I enjoy doing that, I dont consider it work, its like a hobby for me.
