Description
I'm a cheerful and outgoing Swede, who loves to learn. I moved to the UK 25 years ago, so I now feel more British than Swedish...
I have always loved animals and nature and I try to do my bit for the environment.
I'm a dog trainer by trade, but I've also worked as a web designer and tried my hand at all sorts from receptionist to shop assistant. I'm currently working as a waitress and love how busy and social it is.
I'm hard working, stronger than I look and keen to learn, so I'm hoping you'll find me useful.
I mainly eat plant based foods, occasionally fish, but no other meats. Having said that, I don't have any issue cooking meat for the family or the pets.
I love being outdoors, so I do a lot of walking and gardening. I would love to learn about permaculture and eco building skills.
I'm keen to learn new languages, so hoping to meet some travellers from other countries along my route.
I've experienced a couple of WorkAway homes in Australia in early 2023. I'm hoping to visit Canada, Costa Rica and South Africa next.Interests

I've been a dog trainer for almost 30 years, but I love all animals. I’ve always been interested in psychology and behaviour, so I tend to do well with any animals, because I respect their space and try to learn about their needs and natural behaviours, before I deal with them. So I would love to do any job dealing with animals - feeding them, caring for them, cleaning for them, walking them…
I’ve had dogs, cats, Guinea pigs, ducks and chickens as part of my family in the past and as a child I rode horses for a few years, so those are animals I have experience of.
I'm the type of person who likes to get stuck in and I love a physical challenge, so digging holes, pulling out roots, moving rubble, etc suit me perfectly. I have an odd love for building fences, so I guess there is that too... lol
I might ask lots of questions to begin with, because I want to get everything right. I hate messing up, so if I get unsure, I will ask for guidance. Having said that, once I'm confident about what I'm doing, I just get on with it.
Other than animal and outdoors skills, I've also run my own web design and a pet services advertising business (very small scale) and I've been a sole trader for over 20 years. I'm quite an organised person and I love a bit of detective work (worked at an affiliate marketing firm for a while, scouring through code to find the errors that stopped the web sites and links from working). I'm as happy stuffing envelopes as I am doing a bit of book keeping.
Basically, I always want to feel useful and I love to learn new skills or how things work.Age

What else ...
I love walking / hiking, climbing, kickboxing, yoga, coasteering and any other water sport available. That doesn't mean I'm any good at any of them, just that I enjoy doing them. :-D
I love new adventures and learning things, especially if it entails being outdoors and being active.
Love board games, card games, etc. I enjoy playing, but I don't care if I lose. It is the banter during the play that makes it so enjoyable! I quite like computer games too.Some more information

Special dietary requirements
I don't eat red meat and I can't stand Goats cheese. I prefer to eat vegetarian, but I can eat fish and chicken if it makes life easier for you 😊.
