Description
I am a retired widower with 2 grown-up children and 2 grandchildren. I spent the first half of my career in the private sector working in HR and Operations and the later half as a Lecturer in 3rd Level education. However I was raised on a farm where I developed many practical skills including dry stone wall building and in my retirement I would like to revisit these. I am physically fit, visit the Gym most days and I am not afraid of hard work. I am currently learning Spanish and it is my ambition to become fully fluent. I love travelling and meeting new people and I hope Workaway provides opportunities for me to realise my ambitions/dreams.
