Description
As a qualified Journalist and with an education in sales I am interested in a lot of things. My hobbies are horsebackriding (Western-Style), swimming and Sauna, writing of poems and short stories, cooking & baking and gardening. Other interests are watching sports (I am a big football-fan), and travelling in general. I love cooking, especially home-grown fruits and vegetables and I prefer to live in harmony with nature in general. But also sometimes I like nice parties too. Hidden towns are for me as well attractive as cosmopolitan cities :o)
I have one horse and a little pony, for whom my parents are caring for, if I am absent. My parents have a little farm with a few animals and some grassland. So I know all types of farm work from an early age.
During the last years I have worked for a weekly newspaper in Ostfriesland, Northern Germany and also had a business in sales. During the summer I am running a little holiday home, which gives me much pleasure.
Now I am keeping things smaller and would like to improve my skills in foreign languages by doing some types of work and I would be glad if people could benefit from some of my knowledge and experience.

What else ...
I am an open-minded person and I love to communicate. I like to discover foreign countries and places and like the Languages English and Italian so much. I enjoy to see how the people live, to understand their culture and I am interested in learning preparing meals from the local cuisine with the typical recipes. I am quick of comprehension and have the ability to empathize. Furthermore I like all kinds of animals and love to be outside. I don't smoke or drink alcohol (very rarely a good wine is okay ) but I don't have a problem to be at a place, where the people do.
I would appreciate it if you would make it possible to see a country and its social and working life from a different angle.
Bye for now and perhaps I can see you soon. All the best! Elke
