Description
Hi, my name is Annika. I’m 22 years old and from the Netherlands. I love traveling and spent half a year studying at Stockholm University in Sweden. I recently graduated with a bachelor’s degree in Social Geography and Spatial Planning.
I’m passionate about animals and have been riding horses (English style) for 14 years. I also have a cat, and my love for animals inspired me to become a vegetarian—although I occasionally eat fish.
In my free time, I enjoy cooking, baking, painting (especially recreating Bob Ross’s art :) ), watching Formula 1, and snowboarding.
My family and friends describe me as creative, helpful, passionate, hard-working, kind, curious, caring, and honest.
I’m excited to gain new experiences abroad while contributing to meaningful projects/activities/tasks in my field of interest.

More details about your skills
I have a bachelor in Social geography and spatial planning. I have been riding horses since I was 8 years old and I also have been taking care of a horse for 8 years now (she can be seen in the pictures :) ). Besides that, I really love nature and have started a small vegetable/herb garden in my backyard. I also work at a cheese farm near my house and I do a variety of tasks there such as making dairy, mucking out stables, mowing the lawn, cleaning glamping tents/farmstay, and preparing orders for farms ordering dairy products.

I had such a great time at Mandy and Jed's place! I stayed here for around two weeks. They have a beautiful farm in a really pretty area, the mountain views in the morning are just amazing. The work was not hard and you can always plan your own time which made it more relaxed. I could ride the horses every day and they are very well behaved which… read more

I can't recommend Annika highly enough. She's just so full of energy and enthusiasm, a delight to have around. She stayed a couple of weeks and we did a lot of things in that time including a competitive trail ride and riding in the Anzac parade, and lots of jobs at home. Annika is a very competent horse rider, self motivated, and gets along great… read more

I had an absolute amazing time at Kathy and Geds place! I stayed here from the end of Feb till the end of march.
