Activities i am interested in:

i'm now traveling in europe together with my dog companion 🐾
Description

My dream is to live on a self-sustainable farm/community when I'm older.
together with my ex boyfriend we lived in a rural house off grid in the tuscan appenines, so i got experience with the rural lifestyle. Chop wood, use the chainsaw, make a fence from poles, making conserves, collect herbs ect. However, there is always room to grow and learn new things!
I would love to learn more about growing food, working on the land, animals and community lifestyle. I'm also motivated to learn more about animal keeping and how to treat nature with repect. Work together with nature instead of using it as a tool.

My interests are: spirituality, philosophy, theology, playing games such as chess, animals, kids and a lot more. I would love to broaden my horizons and I want to do that by meeting new people, discuss the meaning of life and learning about different lifestyles. Nature brings me happiness. The pure being of a child or animal for example, or just being around the trees, mountains, waters and flowers.

As a kid and teenager i was a total horse girl, i'm not riding them anymore since some years as i don't like the way the horses are treated in many city stables. Horses still intrigue me deeply, i'm interested in learning from them and managing them in a natural way. I like all work around horses. from groundwork to cuddling, brushing them and riding in the forest. It's still a dream of mine to train horses with trust as a fundament. I don't have any experience with training horses, but am open to learn (from them) and experienced trainers.

More details about your skills

I have a lot of experience with horses (taking care of them and riding on them). I'm generally good at working with animals (my dad worked on a little farm when I was between 11-14 years old and I often helped with taking care of the animals and playing with them).
I also have lots of experience with kids, babysitting as well as tutoring kids from ages 9-18 in all kinds of subjects (mostly math, biology, chemistry and physics). Furthermore, I'm a hard worker, I have an optimistic and flexible character, I learn fast and I'm very motivated to learn new things.

She helped us chopping and carrying wood, helping in the household, renovating several rooms, and was actually cocreating the sauna that we finished together in December 2022. … read more

I stayed for 26 days with these wonderful people. This was my first workaway experience, and I am super grateful that I chose this place. I stayed in a super cozy mini house, with my own oven to make fire. During my stay I did several things, one was building a sauna with Vana. This was amazing to do. I also helped at the company (where they make … read more
