Description

Hi, my name is Esther. I am open minded, warm-hearted, and can easily adapt to ways of living that are different from my own, and be respectful with them.

I've joined some volunteer projects with animals, farming/harvesting, manual work and social work in Indonesia, Turkey, Oman, Russia and Estonia, and I lived in the US and Indonesia (in the Muslim society) before.
I'm an adventurous person and I like trying new things. I love learning about everyday life in a new, yet unknown place, become part of it and make new friends around the world. I really enjoy spending time in the nature far from the hectic city life.

I can take care of animals. I had pets as a child, have done horse riding for many years and helped on a farm in Estonia with horses and cows.
I'm good at garden and farm work such as planting, harvesting and cutting plants, fruits, bushes, etc. I have harvested apples, berries and olives before and have worked in my own small garden and my family's garden.
I care for a sustainable life style.
I can do hard work. I like to be physically active while working, and like to see and feel what I've done at the end of the day.
I like to spend time out in the nature. I also enjoy quiet, isolated areas.
I can drive a car, an automatic motorcycle, a small bus and have driven a tractor before.
I've painted walls and furniture before, and can put up furniture.
I have a bachelor in Sociology, and I'm good with people. I really enjoy being around other people and connecting with them. I speak four languages, have some travel experience (also outside of the Western world). I generally like to help others in order to make them happy. I have worked in a refugee accommodation, volunteered with elderly people and have taught children and adults English, German, and basic Math.
