  • Description

    Hello everyone!
    I`m an uncomplicated, flexible woman and will be in Canada for some time in the summer to help and meet nice people, improve my English and have new experiences.
    I`m from Germany and grew up in a village. I have many different skills to help you.
    I love nature and animals, I know how to use tools, can cook, I have some building skills and I´m physically fit. Things I can´t do, I just try.
    It belongs to me, that I have a lot of life experience in many areas and I´m interested to learn new things.

    In my "previous" life I was a gardener, sports coach, outdoor trainer and mother. I`m still mom, but my two wonderful sons are grown up, which is why I have more time and freedom for myself again. I am married, my husband and I live alone since our children moved out.
    Professionally, I am self-employed as a coach and work with groups, children and adults on different content. Because of my self-employed I have the possibility to manage my time off and so I decided to spend some time in Canada.

    Freedom, respectful interaction, joy and tolerance are very important to me.
    I speak German, some English, French and Esperanto and I´m non-smoker and uncomplicated in relation to food.
    I have a driver's license (car and motorcycle), but I can also ride a horse, ride a bike or just walk :-)
    In addition to my normal work I like working with my hands and gardening, I´m handy with tools, so I am good at manual work in our house, garden and property. Sometimes my husband and me do some woodworking for our fireplace.

    I am flexible, practical, work independently, can organize well and keep an overview without getting stressed and interested in learning new things. I love being outdoors and in nature, I like horses and riding, hiking, playing, dancing, music, animals, reading, yoga, camping, campfires, festivals and adventures.
    At the moment I enjoy baking bread and at some point I would like to be able to play the guitar.
    And sometimes I just enjoy being alone, enjoying the beauty and silence of nature, walking barefoot, sleeping under the stars, sitting on the meadow, in the forest or by the sea, going to the mountains, watching animals and doing nothing else.
    My motto: Be brave and believe in yourself, go your own way!
    We are all unique and special 😀

  • More details about your skills

    I can help with lots of things, I'm practical, I work very independently and I've already done lots of things. I grew up in the country with animals and a big garden, I can cook and bake and I do a lot of manual work in our house, garden and property myself. If there's something to do, I just try it. Over 30 years ago I trained as a gardener and worked there for a few years. I've also worked in an outdoor park and am a trainer for team building and violence prevention. Today I work as a coach with people of all ages. I spend a lot of time on the computer, but I'm also often on the move. But I also enjoy being out in nature and working with my hands, with animals or on a craft project. Let's just see together what I can help you with. I'm very flexible and versatile in this regard. And what I can't do yet, I'll learn.
