Description

I love working with animals, creating things with my hands and connecting with people from different walks of life.

I enjoy simple everyday life, sharing meals, good conversations and quiet evenings. I’m easy to live with and happy both working independently and as part of a team.

Have my own company in Norway, dog training and boarding, and have been hosting lots of workawayers and worldpackers, but never tried the other end of this adventure before, eager to do so 😊 I do my work digitally now, and have very flexible hours, but need to be available by phone in case of emergency.

Am travelling in the Netherlands and have been doing so since august 25
I travel in my camper with a five year old chihuahua named Love.
Love is used to travelling with me and is very calm around people and other animals. I’m always careful that she respects the space and routines of the place we stay. Have done a couple of Dutch courses, but need alot more practice 😊

I'm handy, love diy, have renovated several houses. I also enjoy creative activities such as knitting, crochet, embroidery and spinning, just to mention a few.

Have run my own farm with all the animals in my pictures, but also had all kinds of birds, horses, sheep and pigs.
I love gardening, also had a micro market garden in my hometown in northern Norway, would love to do more gardening in the Netherlands and learn about the differences.

More details about your skills

I can do most things that needs doing around a house or a farm.

Went to technical building school as a young girl, and learned everyting from painting, cutting glass, tiling, laying flooring, gas welding and working with metals. I renovated my first house on my own in my twenties, then three more houses later on with my husband.
I have not worked with bricks, but would be happy to learn. I do however have a fear of hights 😅
Painting and wallpapering are some of my favourite things to do.

Have also done agricultural school as an adult.

I've worked as a car detailer for years. Worked in care for elderly. In clothing stores, grocery stores and cafes. I (and my husband) was a specialized fosterhome for years, had everything from babies to teens living with us 💕

Consider myself a fast learner in most practical things.

I've worked for years with training dogs and their owners, in r+ methods/clicker training. Have alot of different courses on training and behavior. I love learning and often take online courses to broaden my horizons further.
