Description
I have worked as an English teacher for many years, in many different countries.
When I'm not working, I love slow travel - if you're within Europe I'll probably arrive by bicycle. Using a bicycle as my primary mode of transport gives me an enormous feeling of freedom and independence, as well as being better for the planet.

I enjoy working outside and I am comfortable in hot weather. I also love living as part of a community and the learning experiences that this always brings.

I am particularly interested in:
- travel & learning about new cultures
- permaculture & growing food
- off-grid living and sustainable transport
- yoga & meditation
- non-violent communication
- veganism & non speciesism
- health & fitness

It was an absolute pleasure to host Catherine, and we are so grateful for the time she spent with us. As a professional English teacher, she was a tremendous help to my son, guiding him patiently and effectively with his English studies.

Thanks to Eylem's wonderful family I spent a very happy month in their corner of Istanbul. Eylem and Ismail are generous and kind people, and I'm very grateful for their hospitality. I particularly enjoyed chats with Eylem who has so many interesting stories to tell.

For a few hours each evening (four or five evenings a week) I helped their 14… read more

Thank you Elli & Franzi & all the 'more than human' animals you share your home with - I had an incredible time & learned so much. Elli & Franzi are both really kind & welcoming people, & the caravan that volunteers stay in is cosy & comfortable.

Catherine arrived at our place in one of the busiest period we had in years, where we had to be away from home every day for hours: it was such a relief to know that the dogs, cats, goats and chickens were in such good hands!
She helped us in so many different ways: she harvest olives with us, she chopped and rearranged big piles of woods, she… read more
