Description
Hello all, I'm Lena, an 18 year old girl from Belgium. I graduated high school and have decided to take a gap year. To travel, learn new things, explore and find peace within myself. I have a big passion for nature and animals, especially horses! I love reading a good book, eating diner while having interesting conversations, hiking, listening to music, drawing, and in general just enjoying the simple things in life. I'm open for every chance or opportunity that gets on my path, I'm a flexible and easy person. Willing to learn all kind of new things, get to know new people with interesting thoughts and passions!

More details about your skills
In highschool I did a couple of internships in different working areas. I have been working in a cafe for over two years now and l just love to work there. I do also have experience with babysitting and dogsitting. In general I think working with animals is my best talent and the thing I love to do the most. I've been working with horses for over 7 years and I do have my own horse since I was 12 y/o. Even tho I have experience in this area I'm open to learn more cause I believe there is always room for improvement!
I've done some work at different farms (this summer I went wwoofing in Slovenia) and it really interested me so I hope to learn more farming skills :)
update januari 2024: I did volunteer work for the last 3 months in Spain and Portugal. I worked on an 'everything' farm, a horse sanctuary, an olive farm and a dog (and cats) shelter :)
