Description
Hello,
I'm Chiara or Kikki from Germany. I just graduated high school in Germany and I decided to do some work and travel in Canada as a gap year. After 10th grade I did a high school exchange year in Vermont, USA, where I spent I year living with a lovely family on a farm. I enjoyed helping out with the horses, e.g. mucking stalls, riding, feeding... In Germany, I also live in a rural area.
I am pretty fluent in English. Some of my hobbies are horseback riding, reading, skiing, hanging out with friends and playing or watching soccer.
I'm exited to meet new people along my journey.

More details about your skills
When I spent my year in Vermont, I helped out a lot around the farm: taking out horses, mucking, feeding... I also helped out when my host family needed someone to watch my little host sister.
I've been taking riding lessons for eight years. For the last two years, I've worked on a farm: taking out horses, feeding, mucking. Therefore, I know my way around horses but I'm always happy to learn a lot more. For work, I also made breakfast for the hotel guests that stayed at the farm.

Unfortunately, I had to leave the farm after 10 days because of various reasons. Mostly, because of my health. I have some asthma and the room I was staying in was really moist which made it difficult for me not to feel unwell.
