Description
Hei! I'm Ellie/Eivor, 20 years old and from southern Germany. I look forward to learning more about homesteading, farming and animal caretaking!
I speak German, Hungarian and English fluently, I'm learning Norwegian and Icelandic at University.
I'm in my third Semester of Scandinavian Studies & Language, Literature, Culture in Munich. Due to my degree, I love reading and writing literature, as well as learning new languages.
Apart from that, I draw and paint, crochet and knit, and do ballet and also archery sporadically.
My calling is outside in nature, I can spend the entire day walking and exploring, also observing wildlife :)
My great passion lies with animals - I have mostly worked with dogs so far (sled-dogs, herding dogs), but also have a bit of experience with chickens, sheep, cats, pigs, cows and horses.
Sometimes I feel like I understand animals better than some humans, which is why I love working with them ;)
Other than that, I'm fine with housework, and gardening too and gladly help here and there with building or fixing something!
While I am a rather quiet person, I am an even better listener. Working in a group is no problem, I find peace while spending time in nature or with the animals :)

More details about your skills
I have a patient and precise work style, which is best fitted while working with animals, as I believe.
Taking care of them daily, feeding routine, cleaning bowls, tidying up their homes and exercising them is something I have had quite a bit of experience with so far.
I've done work around the house like painting jobs, cleaning windows, gardening, helping with repairs, etc.
I don't mind 'bad' weather, nor working or staying alone for longer periods of time.
I'm always open to learning something new!
Age
20
What else ...
Because of my degree, I read sagas almost on a daily basis and learn old Norse, not something many people do :)
My favourite animals to observe are by far birds of all kinds.

The moment I arrived I felt at home and I got integrated into their daily routine right away, so I never felt left out or out of place. There was always some kind of work to be done, but they made sure to never overwork… read more
