Descripción

Hi. I’m an retired customs officer. I am very much into outdoor living. I kayak, scuba dive , hill walk etc. I have just finished renovating a house and have built 2 houses in a previous life. I worked as a dog handler for 10 years and before retirement I was chief officer and captain of customs cutter on the Irish coast. I have a large garden a polyethylene tunnel. So I grow what I can for food. Winter weather in Ireland is not great so since retirement I spend winter travelling. Mostly solo in my camper. Summers I normally spend in my beautiful home country. I love to meet interact, learn, and teach from / with others. This is my first venture into work away.

I’m easy going. If I’m traveling in Europe I generally have my camper with me so may not need accommodation. I suppose depending on how long I stay and what’s available . I like listening to easy going music

Peter and Suzanne came through our town in their camper van and we were lucky enough to meet them. They told us all about Ireland and their travels. They shared stories from their trips to Sri Lanka, Cambodia and Vietnam.

The students had a great time with them , they made the classes really fun and enjoyable! 😊

I just contacted Begoña at the last minute. almost as I was passing through the village 🙈. We are traveling in a camper van and decided to stop at the village and offer any assistance we could.

Peter was an incredible help during the rebuilding of our house. From the moment he arrived, he was polite, respectful, and extremely hardworking.

They are very welcoming. … read more
