Description

I am 62 years old, but fit, strong and used to working. I am a nature loving person and spent a lot time of my youth outdoors, watching animals, cycling, swimming and doing other sports outside.

I am good with my hands and gained a lot of experience in working with them, which also is hobby of mine. I have taken part in many DYS projects, most of which had something to do with the renovation/construction or preservation of houses/apartments. But I also worked on an organic vegetable farm (no animals or fruit) for two years. I can work well with wood.
From 1999 to 2013 I worked professionally as a software engineer.

In the past I was able to save some money so that I can now live for a longer period of time without earning (a lot, maybe a little) extra money.

Last year my partner died and so I started to travel and work, because I needed to distract myself. I worked on a Swiss Alp in August and September 2023, which helped me a lot to cope with my loss.

In the future I am considering possibly emigrating to Ireland or Norway, although I prefer Ireland because I speak English (but not Norwegian).

I am a socially committed person and have previously worked together in larger teams or groups. Another strength of mine is dealing with children who are regularly enthusiastic about me :-)

I love to work and to combine it with the things I'm interested in.

I'm interested in politics, nature, foreign cultures and people, music, history and much more. If you are interested in me, please do not hesitate to ask for further or specific information
