Travelling through Switzerland and France with my dog Panda, looking for horse related volunteering opportunities.

Beschreibung

I feel like a multinational person as I'm half Finnish and half Polish, I've lived in both Australia and Spain for 5 years and in the UK for one year - apart from that I'm travelling frequently ^_^ I consider myself an open-minded, restless, adventurous and caring person.

I finished my BA degree in Tourism in 2014 and I have work experience as hotel reception duty manager, allied health receptionist, camping site manager, waitress/bartender, horse riding instructor/stable hand and English teacher for kids/babysitter. I have also been doing photography professionally for a few years as a side job.

I'm passionate about horses, latin dancing, music (I play the piano and the guitar), yoga and travelling. I also love photography, hiking, books, cinema, cooking and I like to spend time with friends/family and all kinds of animals (in addition to horses I love dogs and have a cute border collie x cattle dog Panda).

WorkAway volunteering:
- HORSES: I'd like to enhance my natural horsemanship and general horse training skills - working with young and difficult horses, equine assisted therapy or working at a dressage/show jumping stud would be interesting experiences for me.
- YOGA: I'm interested in helping out at a yoga centre to further my knowledge and feel more grounded (I’m also doing the 200 h yoga teacher training)
- ANIMAL RESCUE/SANCTUARY: I'd also love to help out at an animal rescue centre or wildlife sanctuary.
