My next destination:
British Columbia, Canada - from Feb 2024 until Feb 2025 View allDescription
My name is Anja Kreitmeier, I'm a 23 year old female University student studying landscape architecture & landscape design in Vienna (done with my bachelors in February 2024)! Additionally I have finished my vet assistant program and am currently working at a vet clinic.
I have 10+ years of experience with horses and some experience in farming / ranching as I have volunteered on a farm in Smithers BC in 2018-2019 (5 months) and spent 6 weeks on a cattle ranch west of Williams Lake in 2022 - again 3 months on the same ranch this summer (with cattle, horses, dogs...)
Also I am fluent in english and german.
As an animal lover I enjoy being around furry friends, outdoors and don't mind getting dirty.
Already 5 years ago I fell in love with BC and have finally decided to take on the challenge of immigration! I received my working holiday visa and plan on moving to BC Canada this upcoming march (2024). Therefore I am looking for a lovely place to begin my journey at (4-5 months), I would then like to proceed and find a place of my own.
I am a hard working, passionate, flexible person & love to learn new skills!
I enjoy learning about new cultures & new lifestyles and I can't wait to dive into a new adventure :)
As I am a cat parent and planning on moving to Canada long term, I'm going to have to bring my 2 very sweet cats with me. Both are super friendly, well mannered and fully vaccinated (chipped, etc.). I'm hoping to find hosts who won't mind my babies roaming on the property, I will of course pay for everything they need, they will not be getting in the way of my work, etc.
I also plan on getting a car in Vancouver, so by the time I start my workaway job I should be fully mobile.Interests

What else ...
I am interested in farm stays, heavy on the animal part! I love riding horses and that is a requirement for me - I don't need to be doing it everyday but I do love to go for a nice trail ride in my free time to relax & recharge!
I am very very curious about life as a cattle rancher! herding cattle on horses has always been a dream of mine!
I am not interested in being a maid, although I am absolute fine with chores or cleaning shared spaces :)Some more information

Feedback
Summer = Hay season for cattle ranchers, which means long days driving tractors and working out in the field - presumably like on any other farm as well...
What's absolutely unique about this place though is the friendly atmosphere… read more
