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 have been working on a cheese/dairy farm for a few years besides my study. 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.
