Description

Since a long time, I've been very interested in traveling and meeting new people, not just for a week-long holiday. I love immersing myself in different cultures, listening to stories from diverse backgrounds, and seeing the world from various perspectives.

I'm 27 years old and from Switzerland, growing up on a farm in a rural area. After finishing school, I worked as a gardener for three years in Switzerland, followed by various horse stables.

In 2021, I packed up all my belongings and left my home behind. I started by attending a language school in Dublin to improve my English.
After that, I went to Iceland to work on a horse and sheep farm where we organized guided horseback tours, did houshold chores and lots more.
Later on, I worked as a barista back in Switzerland before heading to Denmark to learn about the Academic Art of Riding.
In Norway and Austria I worked in hotels, where i did from the front desk to cleaning and evening service everything. My short time in Hungary was on a Lodge with Horses. There I did lots of cleaning, reparing and horseriding tours.
In Kanada I worked on a Lodge as Wrangler or as well restaurant dutys. The two Months I spend in Hawai'i where on a little goat and sheep farm where I took care of all the animals and did general farming and gardening tasks.
Now I'm for a short visit in Mexico helping on a ECO project.

I would love to work in a tourism-related role and ond farms wuth lots of animals. I enjoy keeping my hands buys during work but also value relaxation time. I'm flexible, quick to learn, and always eager to explore new things.

What else ...

Horses have fascinated me since I was young. I started riding at the age of ten, but I also loved being in the stable, helping with cleaning and feeding, and spending as much time as possible with horses.
Dancing is another passion of mine. I started traditional Swiss dancing even earlier than riding and continued until I was around 20 years old. Unfortunately, I haven't had the opportunity to restart dancing, but I am eager to learn other dance styles and improve my skills.

In my youth I once learned to play the guitar, so if it comes to a campfire, entertainment would be provided.
I like to try out new things and be spontaneous.
As longe as I have a good time I'm always happy.
