Description
For many years I worked as a language teacher and later on as a journalist on foreign affairs and sustainability, Though retired, I still work occasionally and voluntary jobs in my hometown Amsterdam.
Having more time and with one grown-up son, I still would like to do some useful work abroad, for instance to work with children or students as a TEFL certified English teacher. Or as a help with gardening, harvesting, doing things around your house and/or garden.
Next to contributing, I'm very interested in meeting people and get acquainted with different cultures.
I'm a social and responsible person, flexible in working hours. Enjoy being amongst people, but don't have to be entertained.
Via Workaway I worked as an assistant English teacher in Casablanca and Fes, Morocco, stayed with a family Iran to teach their girl English, worked in a B&B in Scotland, and at a farm and in a garden in Spain and Italy. Also followed Arabic courses in Oman last year.
References of hosts in the UK, Spain, Morocco and Iran are available.
Finally, I am in excellent condition (I'm a runner, play tennis) and have enough (life) experience (I think ;-) and energy to contribute to your project. I like to do this in the Middle East: Jordan, Lebanon, Palestine.Centres d’intérêt
