Description
Hello
I’m an open-minded person with big passion for helping in wildlife and nature and exploring new cultures. I could show this in different stays during the last years in experiences in Namibia and South-Africa:
- Guest farm near Maltahöhe as Au-Pair 2000 (helping tourists, farm cleaning, prepare and feeding animals, walking with dogs, kitchen help)
- Wildlife Sanctuary Harnas and Naankuuse (several weeks in 2016 and 2017: helping orphaned animals, caring for injured and unwanted pets, enclosure cleaning)
- Wildlife Act (South-Africa): working for big five, monitoring animals 2013
- 2018 and 2019 South-Africa (Animal Care projects in Thornhill, Shamwari and Standford for several weeks)
- 2020 South-Africa as workawayer in Greyton (Pet care in vegan farm)
- 2022 South-Africa as workawayer in Onjala-Logde (helping guests, assist guides in game drive, bar service, helping in kitchen - not cooking, maintainance in lodge all around)
- 2023 South Africa as workawayer in Grabouw (Cat Sanctuary and helping at the farm, gardening)
- 2023 South Africa as volunteer in Rhino-Sanctuary Care for Wild
- 2023 South Africa as volunteer in Shamwari Conservation Private Game Reserv
Unfortunately, I have no big experiences in cooking.
I can manage this despite my chronic headaches who reduce occasionally my productivity. So I need sometimes a break to finish it properly.
Now I’m looking for new opportunities to explore my horizon and learn more about farm / lodge experience and helping guests without administration. So, I’m very interested to make new challenges.
Best regards
Sylvia von Escher
