Description

Hi, we are Kristina and Anniken :)

About us:
My name is Kristina, age 21 from Norway.
I come from a very small village with very few people and there is not loads to do. This is why I really look forward to travel and experience different places, cultures and people. Anywhere I go, it feels like an adventure. Although, I love my home-town, and it's little opportunities has taught me to see the beauty and possibilities that lies everywhere.
I am a very outgoing and adventorous person. I went to Folk High School for one year, a school dedicated to sports and personal growth, where we did all sorts of fun stuff. We also met a bunch of people with different personalities. Animals, children, people in general, nature, sports, doing good and even hard work makes me happy.
Previously I have been working in a kindergarden, at a nursing home, a stable, different farms, attendance at different events, cleaning for the municipality and a private company, dog- and babysitting.
As for now I am home from my three months of travelling in South East Asia and four months in South- and Central America- and I am working in the kindergarden again. My experience is varied, and I have enjoyed everything. I also have a few hobbies; horseback riding, football (or any kinds of sports and activities), games, hiking, hanging out with friends, travelling of course. I really just like doing anything.
Although I already do have some experience with working abroad, I cannot wait to be living, eating, socializing and working in Europe!! It is gonna be awesome.

My name is Anniken, and I am also 21 years old. I come from a small farm in a remote place with very few people and things to do. I love travel and exploring new countries, as well as getting to know new people and countries. I have very little experience with backpacking, but I do have a lot of different work experience, especially when it comes to farms and stables. I work full time at a nursing home right now, and plan on starting my nursing education next year. I love sports, especially handball and football, and I have been active with these for 10 + years. Horseriding is a big passion of mine (and Kristinas), and we both absolutely love working with horses and aniamls in general. I also went to folk highschool where my line was dedicated to handball, and I went for two years. I really look forward to exploring more of Europe and learning new things! We both went to high school where we were primarily immersed in horse- and equine studies. This gives us both a lot of experience and knowledge about horses and taking care of them. We also both worked at mutliple stables together with a variety of animals. We are therefore not afraid to get our hands dirty :)

More details about your skills

As mentioned, I have experience in a variety of jobs.
During my education I attended a school for two years focusing on the subject of horses and stables. I have also worked at different farms where I took care of animals like cows and sheep. Many of my previous jobs revolved around taking care of people; kindergarden, nursing home and cleaning for the municipality. I also cleaned for a private company for a few years. Occationally, I have also worked at a few one-time-events like serving food at a wedding. I have experience in pantry kitchens. I also love taking care of animals and children, and have done a lot of baby- and dog sitting.
