Beschreibung

Hi! :)
I'm Sonya. I was born in Northern Ireland, but moved to the 'mainland' in 2002 and have been mostly based in the south of England since then. I'm a qualified Veterinary Nurse and worked in a veterinary hospital for 12 years before setting up and successfully running my own pet care business for 7 years, prior to Covid.
During lockdown I completed a Permaculture Design Course and did some volunteering on Permaculture projects in England. Since Covid I have worked on an organic veg farm, and spent 18 months working in conservation in the Scottish Highlands. My job up there was split between giving educational talks to the public about landscape restoration / rewilding, and doing fundraising for a wildlife charity.
I love learning, have boundless curiosity, want to experience other ways of life and to learn new skills in foraging, food growing, eco-building, conservation, sustainability and rewilding.
I am particularly keen to explore Norway, Denmark, Germany, Austria and Switzerland, but am open to other possibilities too. I can speak a little bit of German but would very much love the opportunity to learn more.
I LOVE music, from new-age, classical, gothic metal and 80's cheesy pop to The Carpenters and lots of things in between. I love mountains, rivers, forests, sunrises, sunsets, and wild, open spaces. I enjoy hiking, reading, mountain-biking, gardening, and connecting with other kind and compassionate humans. I value kindness, honesty, and a respect for the natural world.
I don't yet have any feedback on this site, but am happy to provide references :)

Was könntest du arbeiten?

I have experience of looking after all sorts of animals, both wild and domesticated, from stick insects to giraffes, dogs, cats, ferrets and snakes. I have a healthy respect for, but a severe phobia of spiders.
In my current role I give talks to the public about wildlife, forest ecology, nature connection and landscape restoration. I really enjoy this aspect of my job, and the opportunity to reconnect people with nature and inspire them to help protect it.
I also have approx 8 months of full-time experience of organic farming.
I've spent the last few years researching many aspects of my life and finding more natural, less wasteful way of doing things - it's something that i find HUGELY satisfying and i love learning and teaching people what i've learned.
