Description
Bonjour! My name is Natasha, and I love nature, horses, gardening, hiking and adventures.
I am an experienced horseback rider who grew up riding horses in the Alaskan wilderness. I’ve competed in Dressage (USA 2nd Level, and started training for 3rd & 4th), as well as riding Western (including some reining), and riding bareback. I’ve been blessed so far in my travels to get to ride horses in the USA, Iceland, and Australia.
One of my greatest joys is meeting other people from around the world, exchanging knowledge, learning new ways of doing things, and also learning about different cultures and making new friends.
Other than horses, I have experience with dogs, organic gardening (both vegetables and flowers), and for 4 years I was the volunteer leader for a livestock program at an organic farm helping children learn to work with cows, pigs, chickens, rabbits, turkeys, sheep and goats. I also have some renovation experience from renovating our 1838 Greek Revival house (including gutting rooms, painting, and refinishing wood floors). I am also a software quality assurance engineer.
My hope for traveling:
Now that my daughter is away at university and my wonderful husband is happy for me to travel, my wish is to travel to France. I studied French a long time ago, and I’m working to learn it again. I would love the chance to improve my French language and comprehension, finally see France in person, and learn about French culture (and maybe some cooking and baking too!) from people who live there.
I hope to meet kind new people, ride horses and care for them, work with animals, garden, help with needed projects and repairs, and spend time with hosts who love being outdoors and sharing stories and laughter.

Autres infos...
I enjoy reading books and having long, relaxed conversations where I can really get to know people. I love to write stories, paint/draw, sing along with other people, and play board games. My favorite games right now are Catan, Isle of Cats, Carcassonne, and Ticket to Ride. I also like quiet times too where I can explore, be in nature, share time with animals, or simply think.
