Description
I have done 12 hour+ shift work for 30 years and am taking some time out to travel as much of the world as I can.
I am adventurous and fit and looking for new experiences.
Most recently I have lived and worked abroad for 6 years, I can work in a team or alone. I am able to adapt to numerous situations and will just get on with it. I am calm and love being around animals.
I have done numerous housesits in the UK looking after a variety of animals including dogs, cats, sheep,Highland cattle, horses, goats,donkeys, alpacas,turkeys and ducks and chickens.
I have done 2 longer term sits in Laos with ponies and riding schools.
I am very trustworthy and consider myself to be hard working (if not always an early bird)
many thanks for looking and please dont hesitate to contact me for any further information. -

What else ...
I have travelled quite a lot during my time, I have done lots of adventures, jumped out of a plane and swam with sharks and a whole host of stuff inbetween. I am a keen horsewoman and cyclist and like long walks in beautiful countryside. skiing and snow activities also.
I have recently retired from work and I have decided to travel now for as long as I can, I want to expand my horizons and can pretty much muck in with anything you require.
thanks for your consideration
