Beschreibung

Hi! We’re Mey and Björn, a young German couple who graduated from a Danish high school in the summer of 2025. Instead of going straight into university, we decided to spend a year exploring Canada, learning new skills, meeting inspiring people, and experiencing different ways of life through Workaway.

Nature, animals, and curiosity are at the heart of who we are. We both love being outdoors, whether that means hiking through forests and mountains, working in a garden or caring for animals. We are genuinely excited by opportunities to learn, and one of the things we enjoy most about travelling is meeting people with different experiences and perspectives.

Animals are a huge passion for both of us. Mey especially enjoys working with horses and has experience with feeding, grooming, stall cleaning, riding, health checks, and administering basic medication. Björn has also helped with horse care and enjoys working around animals just as much. Nothing makes us happier than spending time with animals and contributing to their wellbeing.

Over the past year, we have volunteered in a variety of settings across Canada, from environmental restoration projects and wilderness lodges to horse retirement farms and private family homes. These experiences have taught us to be adaptable, hardworking, and comfortable in both team settings and independent roles.

We both enjoy practical work and are not afraid to get our hands dirty. Whether it’s helping with animals, gardening, maintenance projects, housekeeping, childcare, or everyday tasks around a property, we are always happy to contribute wherever needed.

Personality-wise, we are friendly, reliable, and easy-going. We enjoy learning new things, taking on challenges, and becoming part of local communities. If you're looking for a motivated couple who genuinely cares about animals, nature, and helping out wherever possible, we'd love to connect.
