Description
I'm an outgoing person, love to travel, enjoy meeting new people and learning from their culture and lifestyle.
I'm active and just love nature. For example mountain biking, go hiking with my dog and everything which can be done outdoors. I used to be a handball player. Not regurlarly playing anymore since I wasn't there for the last season.
I graduated as an occupational therapist in January 2016.
As an OT I have worked at different places so far. A nursing home, a school for children with special needs and the last place before I started travelling was a care farm, where animals were part of the therapy I provided.
Animals are a big part of my life. Back home I love spending time with my dog and looking after the horses I grew up with.
However I would also enjoy doing some gardening. My experiences in this field aren't as wide as with animal care though. I planted trees and did some work in the garden but nothing too experimental. Would love to change this though and learn to live more self-sufficient.
Another thing which I would really love to learn is how to sew. I mean I can sew a button on a shirt, but that's probably it. ;)
Always in for other new challenges and learning new skills.

I can work with animals since I grew up with horses a dog and a cat. Not afraid of physical work and get my hands dirty.
In December 2018 I started working on a sheep farm for 2 months in New Zealand where I did several jobs with the sheep but also splitting firewood, fixing the fence, cleaning the farm or work in the garden. I mean I can use different kinds tools, drive a tractor are strong and have a good endurance but no expert in any of these fields. ;)
I would say I can easily socialize and motivate people. I'm open-minded and excited learning and supporting wherever I can. As an OT I've worked with people from different age groups. From small children up to adults and elderly people. Can't really tell which population is my favorite since they all gave me some really good lessons for life in their own way and challenge me in a different way.
I'm quite unexperienced when it comes to gardening though but would love to increase my knowledge in this field.
In general I would say I love to work with my hands and thankful for every new skill.Age
