Description
Hi!
I'm Sonja, 24 and from Germany. After finishing my studies I've decided to explore the world a bit and developed a passion for traveling and getting to know new people, cultures and landscapes.
Being in the outdoors and working in nature and also with animals is basically what I was born for I'd say. In Canada I've worked on several different ranches with sheep, horses and cattle.
I do horsebackriding since I was a child, mainly western nowadays. Also I have some knowledge about horsemanship, so I would love to improve my skills in that and western riding.
I am a hardworking person and I can put a lot of effort in everything I am asked for. Either working as a team or on my own is both no problem for me. To be honest I really don't like to sit around the most of the day and rather help out where ever I can as long as it is appreciated.
Besides that I enjoy music and drawing, having great conversations and just enjoy beautiful calm moments.

Liezel's and Larry's place was my first ranching experience in Canada and I couldn't have asked for a better one. You never know what to expect and after 5 months of working on several ranches, Shamrock ranch is still my favorite.
