Description
Originally from England, I lived in London in the 90s, then Palma de Mallorca from 2000-2013 and Amsterdam since 2013. Mainly worked as a teacher: of Maths and English as a second language. I now host Airbnbers and do voluntary work. Since lockdown I've been helping at a local city farm, currently involved in a composting project. My own small back yard now quite a busy garden.

I've been doing yoga for 20+ years, a very regular practice lately, I do a vinyasa or ashtanga class most days. I've done yoga teacher trainings but haven't taught. Largely vegan now which has developed interest in cooking and nutrition. I write, make books I threaten to publish. I cycle everywhere, serve two cats: Banksy and Trevor.

Sociable and curious but an introvert. Having lived in Spain and the Netherlands, probably more frank than average English person. I enjoy good conversation. Self-motivated, like to be useful.

An interesting, peaceful experience. I regret that my poor German language skills meant I couldn't communicate as well as I'd have liked to, but mashing up English and Dutch and kinder Deutsch I managed. Actually very restful, not having to talk too much.

The klooster and the surrounding countryside wonderful. Public transport needs a bit of… read more

Enjoyed my time at Michael's a lot, wish it could have been longer. A beautiful sense of community, awesome people, good food, wonderful views and walks and the animals. Opened me to new possibilities and allowed me space and time to relax. The work was as fun as everything else. Thank you!
