Description

Hey,
we are two best friends from Bavaria, Germany. We are both taking a gap year after finishing school and are travelling together to make some new experiences and see the world before starting university.
Since our first holiday to Ireland together we love traveling with each other, our trips included a bicycle tour to Norway in summer 2020. We only got Interrail Tickets before and started the trip without any detailed plans. With our bikes and a tent (and trains ;) ) we even came up to the Lofoten islands and made some amazing memories on the way.
We love the outdoors and any outddor activites like hiking, camping, climbing etc. We love adventures and action, but also like to have a relaxed day in our hammocks. Beeing in the mountains, at the ocean or in nature in general and doing sports of all kinds is something we really enjoy, along with trying out new things and learning new skills.
One of our passions are horses, especially ponys, we love caring for them and have good riding experience (groundwork, flatwork and a bit of jumping) that comes from riding nasty ponys since we started. We like caring for all kinds of animals.
Since we just finished school we don't have much experience in non-school-related skills but we are eager to learn and don't mind getting our hands dirty. We are very motivated to help with all kinds of tasks and learn them if we can't do them yet.
We are looking forward to our upcoming workaway experiences very much and can't wait to meet all the amazing people out there!

More details about your skills

We just finished school, so we don't have many special skills yet, but we are very eager to learn!
We have experience in caring for different kinds of animals and don't mind getting dirty while doing so. We have experiences with horses and especially ponys that includes grooming, mucking out, groundwork, working with foals and training young ponies, riding (mostly flatwork, but we also love jumping and did a lot of bareback riding, some Mounted Games and more).
We love dogs and spent the last winter working with sleddogs in Sweden and Finnland so we have some experience now, Hanna also has a dog at home.
We have a little experience in gardening and plantcare (planting, weeding, watering, cutting grass, cutting trees, ect.). Marina has worked with a gardener in Germany and we did a workaway at a permaculture garden and we are happy to learn more about it.
We would love to learn about carpentry, woodwork and building, but we only have basic experience with it.
We love cooking and baking and can prepare various meals for a family or small group. As we are vegetarian, we don't really like cooking meat or fish, but we can do it if necessary.
We also have basic knowledge and experience with cleaning, painting, repairing bikes and other maintenance.
We have some experince with childcare, Hanna from working at a kindergarden and Marina from beeing a councelor at a camp for children and we both have been teaching a little bit (Marina is good at science and Maths, Hanna at languages).
We are very motivated to learn all kinds of skills and don't mind hard work!
