Hi, I'm Mike. I am 56 & from Honiton, in Devon, South West England. Having reached a crossroads in my life, luckily I have the time & resources with no other commitments to decide 'where next' so to speak. I am now able to resume my passion for travelling, embracing other cultures & meeting people to experience their way of life, that I did in my younger days.
I ended my 15 years as a self employed gardener last year, have a National Diploma in Horticulture, & have worked in various roles in financial services, six years service in the British Army & in the retail industry.
The organic & sustainable way of life have always interested me & I am keen to learn more about these, be open to alternative ways of growing & working the land, such as permaculture & make a useful contribution to hosts offering these opportunities. I enjoy cycling, walking, kayaking, live music, theatre & the arts.Centres d’intérêt
