Description

I love being outdoors in all types of climates and spendning time with animals and kind souls. I have a great passion for all animals (including horses) and caring for them, and I want to help with these tasks during my stays and spend as much time in nature as possible. I am always eager to learn a new skill or improve the ones that I have, especially when it comes to riding and animal training in general, learning about animal behaviour, and I think everyone can benefit from other peoples knowledge and be moved in the meeting with new cultures and outlooks of life. I dream of travelling the world and experince all of its miracles and natural wonders while learning as much as I possibly can.
I also like to spend time being creative, mostly drawing and writing, but I never shy away from trying out new things, and I find a lot of joy in the process. Photography is also an interest of mine. I like to lead an active lifestyle and enjoy lots of outdoor activities such as hiking, exploring, sailing, stargazing and sleeping in the open air. I care greatly about my surroundings and the environment, and animal welfare is very important to me. I have been told that I am good with kids, and I find that spending time with children can be very fulfilling. I´m under the impression that they genuinely appreciate my company and the activities I do with them. After all, it is most often easy to tell when children are displeased about something and when they are happy.
I always lend a hand when needed, and I think that helping others is helping yourself. I like to stay busy and get things done and being able to help, put a smile on peoples faces, and feeling useful is something that is very important to me.

More details about your skills

It has been a few years since I have worked with horses, and I might be a bit rusty, but I do have some experince with it. I have mostly been riding bareback and bitless and practiced natural horsemanship from the ground and in the saddle. I always treat the animals with love and respect for their nature, and I know that no two horses are alike and should be handled with this in mind.
I have also worked in kindergartens and in home care services for elderly people.
I have owned a lot of animals in the past, mostly small, exotic finches, but also guinea pigs and a retriever, so I am used to and love being around animals.
