Description
Hey !
My name is Emmy, I am a 22 year old girl who has lived in Belgium all her life.
I studied animal care for 7 years (6 years normal and 1 specialization year), 1 year I strived for my goal to become a veterinary assistant, but this training turned out to be too technical for me (I am more used to working with my hands).
I have experience working in a veterinary practice and working in a Spanish shelter for dogs and cats.
In this shelter I met my best buddy and social anxiety helper Goofy. Goof is a Spanish Mastín cross of 4 years old. He’s my biggest support, we do everything together here at home and my biggest dream is to see the beautiful world out there with him.
I always felt like I was trapped in Belgium, I wanted to see the world, learn and discover new things, explore nature and much more!
The busy life in Belgium has sometimes made it hard for me mentally, so now I hope to find myself again and push my limits in Scandinavia. Id love to do this with Goofy and somewhere where I can work with animals.
In my spare time I take my two dogs for walks and help other people with their pets and horses. I also study photography and would like to specialize in photographing animals and nature. I am creative and used to do art as a hobby, now I still like to draw and read but I really need to find time for it. I help ride and care for horses (Paint & Appaloosa) of an elderly lady, I have been riding horses since I was 8 and have always loved to do it. Because of my studies I was never able to keep doing it as a hobby, but not a year went by that I didn’t ride a horse.
Furthermore, due to some bad events, I have become a kind of introvert, I am open and friendly to everyone and can just have normal conversations, but sometimes I need time to relax. I am honest and will never lie about that. But don't worry I'm certainly not one of those people who doesn't go outside. I like to help where I can and always finish my tasks nicely. If possible, I would like to explore the surrounding nature with you and learn about your knowledge and experiences in your beautiful country.

I am mostly interested in improving my English. I’m used to writing English and reading but difficult words and actually speaking English I can improve on! Since I will be looking for a workaway in Sweden I would also love to learn some Swedish words. Dutch is my main language and if they want me to teach them some I can! I do understand that Dutch is a very hard language so it’s completely up to the people I’m staying with.

Emmy is extremely reliable and always willing to help. She did some creative work for us that impressed us a lot! But even the more "boring" jobs were completed perfectly. What a professional attitude!
