Description
***currently looking for a workaway during my half term & Christmas breaks 2025***
***Ideally housesits/work with horses and/or goats/rabbits/other animals***
I was born in Germany, growing up in an artistic household (my father is a sculptor and art teacher). I moved to the UK at 16, finished school here and went to university in Scotland. I have a MA Hons in Psychology and Linguistics, a PGC Education and a PGC Psychotherapy. I teach Psychology for a British online school - currently working 2 days/week. I'm also a qualified yoga teacher and a somatics education coach.
My great passion lies in discovering the world and being outdoors. I spent 18 months cycling from Mexico to Argentina, have hiked extensively in several countries, and I'm always up for new challenges.
I'm a reliable, hard-working and diligent person, interested in personal growth, learning new things, seeing the world, and meeting new people.
I enjoy being creative (and believe that I'm good at it :'D) (sewing, painting, pottery, music...), partner dancing (zouk and WCS), swimming, and doing various outdoor activities.
I have done lots of wwoofing, workaways and farm work over the years, since the pandemic I focused more on my career but am eager to explore more again now that I have a remote job (plus teacher holidays!). I have also done several housesits in the past (in Australia and the UK, mostly looking after cats). Workaways have included:
o argan farm in Morocco in 2010
o hobby farm (milking goats, making jam etc) in Spain in 2011
o cheese production in Ecuador in 2015
o teaching in Peru in 2015
o hostel work in China in 2017
o ger camp in Mongolia in 2017
o Buddhist retreat in Australia in 2018
o looking after race horses in Tasmania, Australia, in 2018
o stable hand at a horse stud in Australia in 2018 (paid position)
o station hand on a cattle station in Australia in 2018 (paid position)
o hostel work in Spain in 2018
o helping during lambing season in Iceland in 2019
o yoga and rafting retreat in Canada in 2019
o hobby farm in the USA in 2019
