Description
Hey, I am Mona, 26 and from Germany.
Currently, I'm living in Madrid as an Erasmus student. I love the city but I'm missing nature and animals and would love to make great experiences somewhere else in Spain. I would also like to get to know more about Spanish culture. In Madrid, I mostly see other international students and therefore don't get to know that much about Spain.
For the easter break around the 1st-9th of April, I'm looking for a farm or other nice place (in Spain).
Some things I already tried:
- In 2016 I worked on a cattle property in Queensland (Australia) for 3,5 months. I did mainly mustering on horseback but also fencing, drafting cattle, cleaning, weeding and some gardening work.
-In 2017 I worked in a hotel in Yungaburra (Australia) for around 5 weeks. I only worked outside and did all the gardening and weeding work. I really enjoyed that! :)Interests

More details about your skills
I'm an animal lover and can feed, cuddle, walk and take care of them. Also used to handle bigger animals like horses, cows and bulls.
I like all painting, artsy and DIY work. Last year I learned how to crochet and I can teach you in case you are interested.
I love gardening, planting and doing things outside. I've done that a lot so I can help with that.
My dad is currently renovating his old farmhouse in Germany and I help him whenever I can. So I have some very basic carpentry skills. When you can teach me more I would love to help with your project :)
Of course, I'm also able to do some normal housework, cleaning, washing cooking.Age

What else ...
I am a calm and friendly person who loves travelling around. I really like animals and have done a three weeks internship on a farm for rescued animals. I love all animals but horses in particular. I had riding lessons since I was ten and really miss doing horseback riding. Due to time and money issues, I haven't been able to do it for years. I am vegan but happy to cook for myself. As long as you have some basic vegetables and grains I'm fine :)
I like reading and doing yoga and I am interested in Art. For the next few months, I would like to improve my Spanish and get to know more of Spains culture :)Some more information
