Description
Hi my name is Walter.
I am a 58 year old social worker from the south of Germany. I am living in Konstanz which is the biggest city at the Lake Constance. Three countries share the border of the lake: Swiss, Austria and Germany.
For work, I cross the border to swiss. I am working in a boarding school for children with disabilities. Due to my working contract, I got twice a year some spare time.
My birth and social family lives both spreaded in the south of Germany.
Over the years I have done quite a bit of volunteer work with different organisations (IVI, GVN, WWOOF, IBO, Workaway ... ).
I am a handy man who loves doing practical work. I enjoy being outdoors in beautiful nature. I do like changing in between different types of work. Being in community as well as being in silence is important to me. I do love good food.
