Algo más...
I have no real time scale for my trip just fun and to meet people and help each other if we can. I like both moving around and staying at a place for a while. I love to contribute, to find and give inspiration, and experience different cultures and environments. I want to be part of a new Renaissance that is based on values like integrity, fellowship, respect, freedom and creativity. I'm fascinated with people, communication and most things that are in some way interactive. I love socializing and having a good time with people!

Dear Brian,
Thank you so much for providing the help I needed, when I needed it most.
As a result of your much appreciated help we have now completed all the timber work and started sheeting and battening the roof.
All the best for the future and hope you have recovered from the heavy lifting.

Robin
