Beschreibung
Hello :)
My name is Gerrit. Nice to meet you!
Quickly summarised, the most relevant details for hosts to know about me are as follows:
- South African born and Canadian raised (dual-citizenship)
- Extensive traveller (culturally and linguistically aware)
- Natural intelligence: I grew up as a naturalist. Ecology and understanding natural systems are my life-long passion. I love to engage with any topic in Biology.
- Animals: Working with animals doesn't feel like work to me. I'm at home on any farm and I love working with horses and dogs.
- Business acumen: I have an Undergraduate degree in Commerce. I have started and operated my own business.
- Digital acumen: I have experience in IT and keep up with technology. I spent years as a technology writer. Online writing implies experience with social media and SEO (digital marketing)
- Licenses: I have my motorcycle and driver's license, and am qualified to teach English as a Second Language. I have had first aid training.
I might describe myself as a generalist, but I was motivated to join Workaway because I would like to spend more time working outside using my hands. I love to work with animals (horses, dogs, and wildlife), and I'd love to learn more about cattle and sheep farming. I would love to implement an Anaerobic Digester (biogas and fertilizer) project. If my other skills can contribute toward working with animals, then great!
My dream is that I can form a lasting relationship with my hosts so that I can integrate and own my own land one day. Thank you for your interest!

As mentioned in my profile description, my skills are as follows:
- Culturally and linguistically aware
- Ecology and understanding natural systems are my life-long passion. I love to engage with any topic in Biology.
- Animals: Working with animals doesn't feel like work to me. I'm at home on any farm and I love working with horses and dogs.
- Business acumen: I have an Undergraduate degree in Commerce. I have started and operated my own business.

- Licenses: I have my motorcycle and driver's license, and am qualified to teach English as a Second Language. I have had first aid training.
I have experience using my "outdoor skills" on various cattle and horse farms, dog sledding tourism, hunting (horse wrangler), and expeditions. I've served as the Bird ID specialist on an expedition in India, and I participate in my own camping expeditions (multi-day river expeditions and motorcycle-camping trips). I have been motorcycle-camping through Africa from 2023-2024.
For my "indoor skills", I have become most proficient in online writing through blogs and the online marketing that it entails. I owned and operated my own copywriting business. This includes SEO and social media marketing. I'm familiar with most social media websites, and I'm most familiar with the X (Twitter) platform and writing newsletters. I have created some video content as part of a marketing plan.
