Hello there .... :-)
I am Günter. I live in the southwest of Germany. It's only a short way to France, the Black Forest or the Kaiserstuhl (wine-growing region). The nearest big city is Freiburg.
I used to work as a real estate specialist at Deutsche Post / DHL. I have accepted my company's offer of early retirement. I now work part-time in a local property management company ..... but we have an agreement that I can take longer breaks... and I would like to use this time off to travel
In the past ( long time ago :-) ) I used to travel the world as a backpacker very often and as far as possible. This time had a big impact on me.
I would say that I am a cosmopolitan type. I have many interests and even at a somewhat older age I am very curious and willing to learn and try out new things.
I have a good sense of humor and like to laugh. However, my friends mean is quite sarcastic.
I am quite sporty and love the outdoors. I am a sports lover and love to watch sports. ... Preferably soccer, of course.

to meet new people / to make new friends / to help / look at life

More details about your skills
I'm not a trained craftsman, but I've often helped friends and myself with renovations at home. However, I no longer climb on roofs and avoid high scaffolding if possible.
I like gardening and do all kinds of work around the house. However, I have respect for chainsaws and tree felling work.
I'm not afraid of physical work.
I claim to be well organized and can work independently.
I have no talent as a cook, but I like to help prepare food.
Basically I can do any job and if you explain / show me the work I can do any job.Age
