Description

Hello!

I am Eva and I come from a small country called Estonia, in the region of Eastern (or Northern) Europe. It's an ex-soviet country, with beautiful nature and all four seasons: we have warm/hot days in the summer, snow in the winter, and a lot of rain in the middle.

I am looking for mainly hands-on experiences in nature and/or with animals, or something like restoring an old house, for example, but not limited to. I have previously done two Workaway projets in Japan, one in Laos, and one in Taiwan in 2019-2020.

I am an animal lover - I have experience working with horses in a riding school (4 years), and since childhood pick up all living creatures from the road to save them from being trodden on (even snails and worms), or bring home wounded birds.
After some years of office work (real estate, team leading), and two years traveling in Asia, I am again searching for places to learn new things and cultures, and to make use of any skill I possess in return. I'm ready to meet new people and would welcome the opportunity to help you or others improve their English (or learn Estonian!), to protect/clean up nature, work with animals, or anything new I have not tried before. Any work in spiritual communities is also very welcome as I feel this is part of my path. I love music, yoga, writing, being in nature, hiking, drawing, and occasionally practice meditation.

More details about your skills

I know how to take care of horses, having worked in a riding school in the UK for 4 years, I have experience in real estate/accommodation business (3,5 years), and a university degree in English language and culture. I can paint and hold a hammer too, and I love to draw. I've helped my parents with various tasks over the years around the (summer) house and garden (painting, hanging tapestries, sawing, cutting branches, planting, weeding - whatever necessary) and I know my way around our local forests too (which berries and mushrooms to pick, for example). Thanks to living my whole life next to a lake, I can swim and row a boat.
I'd be happy to help anyone with their English skills to the best of my abilities, or do anything that requires creativity (painting, writing, problem-solving, gardening, etc). Nature holds a special part in my heart so if I can be of help restoring or protecting anything living (trees, parks, plants, animals, etc), it would bring great happiness. Not afraid of spiders (unless they're huge?), mice or frogs, or getting my hands dirty. I can cook too, at least my local food :)
In addition, I know a bit of yoga and Latin American dances, also how to ride horses :)
