Description
Hi! I´m Maria from Germany and looking forward to traveling and meeting new poeple. :)
Over the past year, I collected a lot of new experiences by doing workaway and living in a rural area, renovating a farm house and building up a property. Therefore, I gained a lot of experience in more practical work - I can use different kinds of powertools or the chain saw, have basic knowledge of working with clay and have overall done a lot of physical tasks. So I am definitely not afraid of harder work ;)
The work I´m most interested in doing though, is animal caring - especially working with horses. I have horseback riding experience for more than ten years now and have had animals for a long time. Currently, I have a six-year-old, very friendly and unproblematic Australian Shepherd who I would like to bring with me on my travels.
Next to animals, I enjoy every kind of art. I myself have been doing some filmmaking and photography for six years now and would love to improve my skills there. But I would also be very interested in learning new forms of art and participate in cool projects. :)
Furthermore, through my experiences in the past year, I found a big interest in gardening. I love nature and am very interested in concepts like permaculture. So I am more than happy to do any kinds of gardening related projects!Interests

I did horsebackriding for over 10 years and gained experiences with differnet horses. Still, I do not consider myself to be experienced enough to break horses or train problematic horses.
Photography and filmmaking for six years - I have an own camera, so if you need pictures or a small imageclip for e.g. a website, we could start that project together :)
I speak three languages fluently and am a tutor in German and English. So I could maybe be of some assistance in language projects, too!Age

I have visited twice so far and would definitely love to come back again next year!
I felt included into the family and stable-community from the first day on - shared the evening meals together, joined table games and the daily ongoing on the property :)
The workload is totally manageable… read more
