Description

Haii I am Katinka,
I love animals, traveling, active sports and making new friends! I´m from the Netherlands.
I currently work 4 to 5 days a week on a farm, where i take care of the animals and do all sorts of handyman´s jobs. There are cows, goats, pony´s, chickens, cats and dogs there. And to be honest probably mice ;).
Last (school)year i finished highschool, so currently i am taking a gapyear. This winter im going to give skiing lessons in Austria. And I am looking to go backpacking after.
For now i would love to spend the up comming months, up until my leave for Austria, doing something new! During my spare time i like to watch movies, hang out with my dog or do something creative. But my favorite hobby is hanging out with my friends!

Hi! My name is Suzanne,
I'm from the Netherlands. I'm currently taking a gap year and am excited to meet new people and experience different ways of life. I speak Dutch and English fluently and am learning German. This winter I'll be going to Austria to become a snowboarding instructor. I'm an active person and love doing sports such as: field hockey, windsurfing, sailing, snowboarding and skiing. I love animals, I trained 2 dogs through their basic training, both of whom later became guide dogs. I'm looking forward to meeting new people and experience different cultures!

We have a lot of experience with taking care of and working with animals. Katinka currently works on a farm and does all kinds of jobs there varying from taking care of the animals to cleaning sheds to doing all kinds of odd jobs, and has done horse riding for about 4 years. Suzanne has trainend mutiple puppy´s to get ready to go to guide dog school. Each of us also have experience with dogs that come from the shelter or a troubled home situation.
We both love doing sports like sailing, hockey, hiking, snowsports etc. and have done so our whole lives, and we are always open to learning more sports. The ocean is something we really like aswell, both the animals in it and all of the sports you can do in the water or on the beach.
