Description
Hi!
I'm Sonja, 25 and from Germany. After finishing my studies I've decided to explore the world a bit and developed a passion for traveling and getting to know new people, cultures and landscapes.
Being in the outdoors and working in nature and also with animals is basically what I was born for I'd say. In Canada, Switzerland and Ireland I've worked at several different ranches with sheep, horses and cattle.
I do horsebackriding since I was a child, mainly western nowadays. Also I have some knowledge about horsemanship, so I would love to improve my skills in that and western riding.
I am a hardworking person and I can put a lot of effort in everything I am asked for. Either working as a team or on my own is both no problem for me.
My passions are hiking, doing music and drawing, having great conversations and socialise in great company :)
