Quais são suas habilidades?
I am a retired university professor (intercultural education), and my field of research was the integration process of immigrants and refugees. I used to teach English as a second language. I am a native speaker of English, quite fluent in French and Italian, with good knowledge of Spanish and Portuguese. I love world music and especially classical music. I have hiked a lot, and have been travelling for much of my adult life (over 100 countries). Generally I am good with people, empathetic and a good listener.

Laurie has excellent… read more

The highlight for me was the opportunity to join in their meditation practice with neighbours and friends, and even at the Plum village monastery. Their lifestyle is very healthy in every way, with beautiful… read more
