My next destination:
New Zealand - from Apr 2024 until Jun 2024 View allDescription
^^update 23.04.24: I'm travelling in South Island until around end of May, then heading to North Island.
Now I'm going towards Southland/Fiordland, then up the eastcoast to Marlborough/Nelson/Abel Tasman. If anyone needs some help for a few days feel free to ask, maybe it fits my plans. I usually don't plan too much in advance, though :)
Preferably work with or around animals^^
I‘m an open-minded, hardworking and friendly Swiss-Girl. Travelling means to me, making lifetime experiences by meeting new people and helping in various fields of work. That’s the way to be able seeing into the different internationals habits. But I love especially to explore the nature in all the different countries.
Since I have an own apartment for many years now, I know how to manage a household. Though it is not my favourite duty :-)
In 2010 I’ve spent almost a year in Canada where I visited a language school, worked in a deli/bakery, travelled through Canada/Alaska and spent many weeks as a volunteer at an animal sanctuary. There I helped building a cabin, painting, cutting wood, gardening, animal care and many other things.
Since 2021 I've spent 3 wonderful winter seasons at a huskyfarm in Swedish Lapland. There I took care of the dogs, helped preparing the sledges, did household chores and helped with bookings, administration and bookkeeping. I also drove dogsled many times and guided tours.
I love all kind of animals and I’m not afraid of dirt. I prefer the wild to the city and living without luxury is absolutely no problem for me.
I would say I have a decent sense of humor and like good talks and laughs. But I also appreciate some me-time where I can moat in silence ;)
In Switzerland, I work in boring Finance and Accounting :)Interests
