After managing a translation agency for more than ten years, I decided to move myself and my business into a caravan so that I could travel freely around the world. The warm temperature of Cyprus should find me here during the months of September/October and March/April, during which time I'd like to offer my various skills as an opportunity to meet locals.

• Computer Consultant - extensive knowledge of many programs, on both PC and Macintosh. I also have an extensive database of remote programmers to help me in other areas. I have experience in network administration and some programming knowledge (designed my own accounting system in MS Access, among other languages).

• Website design, with php programming and online database skills. My database of remote graphics designers and programmers can help fill in the gaps.

• SEO (Search Engine Optimisation) - how to get your webpages to the top of google and other search engines

• Logistics Consultant - I have spent ten years using my computer knowledge to automate many of my company's tasks. I can do the same for any organisation

Bachelor of Honours in Economics at Queen's University, Kingston Ontario, Canada

Language Skills

English (native level), Czech (fluent, as I was born in Prague and translated from Czech to English for ten years), French (12 years of study in Canada, including one year in university), German (basic - self taught), Spanish (read only), Turkish (enough to order a beer and accomplish whatever I need)

• Open mic/karaoke/DJ organisation - I play 11 musical instrument, compose my own music, and would be interested in organising open mics in restaurants during the evenings. I have a 200W PA amp with four inputs and enough equipment and musical instruments to power an entire band. I can combine this with karaoke and DJ (thousands of party MP3 music).

• Organising outdoor parties - I can power the above from my truck, which has its own solar power and a 1400 W stereo system. Portable volleyball net, various other sports material, and portable propane grill. I'm also a renowned chef among those who know me.

• Video and editing - have photographed during most of my life, enjoy filming and making movies, editing them on the computer (simple sample here, my Mexico travel movie available on DVD upon request). I have recorded and edited music on the computer.

• Setting up solar panels - since I wired my truck myself, perhaps I could help set up homes in Cyprus with solar power.

• Carpentry, painting, general repair - did all the carpentry work on my truck's interior, which I designed myself. Am a general jack of all trades and have painted many homes, involved on many levels of reconstruction.

• Have bartended for 6 years during university.

• Planted half a million trees in Canada, so I'm not afraid of labour, and rather enjoy the exercise.

• Can teach conversational English for interesting company and free beers.

• Am great with kids and would enjoy getting involved in local charities.

Because I continue to manage my translation agency but have some spare capacity, I'd be primarily interested in a consulting position with flexible hours, during which I would be able to check my email through my mobile phone about once an hour. I am looking to supplement my income and to meet locals, but need to be flexible in case some projects come in.
