Description
I'm 56 years old, working often from home as an independent coach and language teacher for private companies, living in the center of Belgium close to Brussels which is very interesting to visit. I'm a social person who likes to meet with people, make new friends, share experiences and cook to share a meal together. I also like to do some walks in the nice nature that is around. The location where I live is ideal for exploring both culture (Brussels, Ghent, Antwerp) and nature (pajottenland, castles, …)
I'm quite spiritual and creative having been refurnishing my kitchen, dining room and the attic in the past years.
However, some help would make me very happy with taking pictures of objects and putting them for sale on the internet, cleaning up the garage, and do some gardening.
My only son is studying aerospace iengeneering in the Nederlands and likes to come home during the weekends.
You can learn languages: French, Dutch and explore several very interesting medieval cities.
I would be very glad to meet you by skype or teams to know you!Types of help and learning opportunities
