Description

Dear Hosts,
My name is Sabrina and I currently live and work in the Kootenays in Canada, BC. I'm seeking some perspectives on a potential life change and would love to find a host who has a ranch or farm with animals. I'm thinking of working in the animal-assisted therapy field one day, I have this dream where I have my own farm where people can come to and be with the animals for therapeutic reasons. Another dream is opening up a foster care farm where youth can live with farm animals, or having an animal sanctuary. This are just a few ideas and now it's time for me to get active and find a place where I can help out and learn things. Something what brings me one step further to my goal.
