I am currently

Description

I have completed a commercial apprenticeship as industrial clerk. I worked in an office for six years and now quit to see the world and have other work experiences than sitting at a desk.
I love being with people and animals, enjoy the nature and am happy to pitch in and meet new people.

I was in Iceland for 3 months and looked after 12 horses (care and riding) the household and the guests' air bnb. I cleaned the hut and prepared it for the guests. I looked after the 84 year old man for 3 months and helped with cooking and cleaning.

I spent 2 months on a farm in Spain and did similar tasks there. In addition, we had a large garden and 5 dogs to look after.

More details about your skills

six years of work experience in the office (logistic department)
My duties often included booking shipments, creating innovative custom documents, and managing logistics inside and outside the plant. Accordingly i have very good computer skills and can handle microsoft office very wellThis role has made me very adaptable and creative in problem solving, both great traits in my opinion that will help me in many areas of work

In addition, I am very active in sports. I was a competitive swimmer for over 15 years and also like to go jogging, canoeing, bouldering, hiking and riding for 1.5 years active

I didn't grow up in a city but in the countryside an my family are hobby gardeners and we plant a lot of fruit and vegetables at home and sow a lot of trees. My dad has a huge garden where i often help out. For example, we have created vegetable beds, tree plantations and a pond ourselves. I have also been able to help with fences and maintain them and trimming compost .

In addition, animals play a very important role for me. I myself grew up with a dog, a cat and mice. Accordingly, I have experience in dealing with these animals and love their presence. For 1.5 years I also actively ride horses. Stable work and care of horses belongs to my everyday life and I enjoy it very much.

I worked as a hiking guide in Spain. I hiked at least 10 kilometres every day on one of the steepest islands in the world (La Palma). I learnt so much about the island and its animals, plants and volcanoes. I really enjoy interacting with people and animals.
