Description

Kia ora! I'm a 25-year-old Kiwi travelling the world to advance my horsemanship and learn all facets of sheep and beef ranching. I have experience working on cattle ranches and horse-guiding outfits in Canada for the past 5 months, and now I'm seeking horse-related opportunities in Latin America.

Enthusiastic about life, I love chasing adventures, surfing, hiking, connecting with new people, horse riding, petting dogs, and cooking. Friends and family would consider me creative, optimistic, very organized, and hardworking.
