Hi! I'm interested in working with animals and gardens. I love winter, cold and wild and isolated places.

Description

I am a simple woman searching for new experiences, learning new jobs and working on new situations. I´ve been working as a Secondary teacher for all my life but two years ago I decided to leave my job, sell my house and change my life in order to have new work experiences more connected with what I have always loved: nature, livestock and wild places.

So, the last two years I have been volunteering/ working in these fields I'm interested on (livestock management, farm work and how to run a tourist business, because I have the dream of establishing a familiar sustainable farm with tourist accommodation)
This is a summary of my volunteering and working experience in these last two years:

- Gardening in a big organic vegetable garden in Seville in Spain.
- Milking, herding, cleaning, making cheese, preparing products and selling in the local
market in an Organic cattle, goat and vegetable farm in the Alps in Italy.
- Cleaning, mucking, general help in the farm, helping with kids lessons in an equestrian
centre in Germany.
- Working as a kitchen assistant and a yoga monitor in a mountain hotel in Norway.
- Helping in a horse ranch with ranch maintenance, horse training, mucking and cleaning
in British Columbia in Canada.
- Helping in a self-sustainable farm collecting and chopping firewood, snowshoveling, working in the garden, canning moose, salmon and beans in British Columbia in Canada.
- Helping in a hotel dog feeding and walking dogs and feeding huskies and cleaning
huskies boxes in the Yukon in Canada.


For me , sharing life with nature and animals is essential in my life. I ran a garden and had chickens for many years at home that provided my daughter and I with vegetables and eggs for the entire year, so I have some knowledge about it.

I am 56 years old and I am not really interested in travelling, but in working, learning and sharing other ways of life. And this is the reason why I would want to stay a long period of time in the same place.

I am a true nature lover, I love winter sports, hiking, climbing, riding horses and, specailly, ski touring. I am adventurous , always willing to face a new challenge. I am a passionate reader and I like sharing nice conversations with people.

I don't mind getting my hands dirty and working hard, I know that farm work can be tough and the work is generally never-ending, but for me it's rewarding and I love it!

I am a very independent woman, with a lot of initiative and energy, I consider myself as a really hard-worker and cheerful person, very easy going that empathize easily with people.

My personality is calm, respectful, and open to know other people and their different life approaches. I love sharing experiences and knowledge with nice people who also respect nature and try to live in harmony with Earth.
And besides, my yoga and meditation practice is very important to me, something that I don´t mind to share with other people.

I am also a skilled cook, traditional and innovative, I have kitchen professional experience so I can cook for a lot of people and, if you are interested, share with you all my knowledge about Spanish cuisine. I love cooking and sharing delicious meals with friends!!
