My interest is in learning Dutch and improving skills pertaining to agriculture and sustainability. If I can explore the area by bicycle and get some writing done on the side I will be very happy!

Descripción

Hello!

My name is Sam. Though I have spent much of my life in the US, I am a Belgian citizen and my family has deep roots in the Limburg region. I am interested in relocating to Belgium to be closer to my family and learn Dutch through immersion. I have a college degree in Literature and have taught public school for many years. Recently I have launched a business repairing commercial equipment, and have picked up many technical skills along the way. My hobbies include working on small engines, growing vegetables, and performing music which I get to do regularly with full-time musicians where I currently live in Tennessee. My interests are turning towards permaculture and sustainability, and I would love to be involved in any projects that will provide me with an opportunity to learn skills in that field. That being said, I'm no stranger to hard work, and am quite comfortable in primitive or off-grid accommodations. I am not simply looking for a place to stay, but to learn about a new language and culture and to make long lasting connections. If you would like to know more about me, please don't hesitate to ask! -Sam

My primary interest is to learn Dutch through immersion. I am already studying and practicing daily, but would love to live and work around native speakers. I am of course fluent in English and am quite qualified to teach it, as I have done this professionally for a number of years.The focus of my college education was English Literature from 19th century through Modernism, and I have been a writing/editing resource for many. I am quite comfortable speaking Spanish as I have had the opportunity to study it since I was young and have lived and worked among many native speakers.

Que habilidades tienes?

I have some experience growing vegetables naturally, composting, and building small garden projects.

I am quite handy with repair work as this is what I do for a living. With enough time and the right tools, I'm confident I can fix just about anything!

As an experienced teacher, I'm great with children including those with learning disabilities, behavioral quirks, and special needs in general.

I have lots of kitchen experience and I prepare delicious and nutritional plant-based meals.

I'm sort of a Jack-of-all trades and a quick learner. Whatever you got, I'm happy to take on a new challenge!
