Travelling
Description
I decided it was time for a change. I worked for over 20 years with pleasure in the kitchen.In 2020 i decided to see more of the world,travel,meet new people,learn new things. I always thought about to combine travel with volunteering. I've had some great workaway experiences the last couple of years and I'm ready for more.
I helped a fisherman with some painting and gardening.
I helped at an ostrich farm and little petting zoo.
Lots of animals there.
Beside all the cats and dogs,they had geese,chickens,ducks,bunnies and many more.
I did house sitting for a while in Sicily.
And i also helped a couple in Sicily with many jobs for their new house.
Now in 2023 i'm in for new adventures!

And ofcourse Chilli and Balder had their own unique characters.
From the house you walk just straight into the forest.

I loved working with the animals every day.
Some days were a bit hot and we had busy weeks and weeks that were more relaxing.
But the work with the animals was always rewarding.
I really felt at home and will miss the farm and everything around the farm.

I helped out with some painting and gardening.
For both of us it were kind of strange circumstances.
Because of the corona-virus everything got closed on the island and it became a different experience for both of us.
