Descrição
Hi,
I’m Finn, 18 years old and from a village in southwestern Germany. I graduated Highschool last year and have arrived in Canada in May, to do a gap year in Canada, to gain some work/life experience, improve my english skills, see the beautiful landscape of Canada, meet new people and get to know new cultures. After I graduated I worked as a waiter and cashier to earn some money for my journey to Canada. I arrived in May and used my first month here to travel around and get to know Canada and it’s people a little better. Until now, I have visited Toronto, Vancouver, Victoria and did an 8 day hike called the west coast trail. I have to say that I am overwhelmed by both the nature with it’s mountains, forests, unique wildlife and vegetation and the friendliness and openness of the people I meet.
At the moment I am working at a Ranch in Horsefly BC, also over workaway. And enjoy the beautiful landscape and the feeling of falling into bed after a day full of woodchopping, fence building or cattle chasing.
Work where you can see your progress is motivating for me, and since I enjoy working out, I also enjoy physical labor. I’m a team player, so working in a team, where everybody brings in his own skills and spirit fulfills me. Furthermore I like the idea of working in an somewhat family like environment, in which one has a more private approach to his/her coworkers and hosts.
I enjoy spending time outside and in my free time I do a lot of sports (soccer, jogging, gym), I also enjoy hiking and reading, especially classical or historical books. I think that I‘m a pretty down-to-earth type of guy and believe in hard work, so discipline is important to me. Generally I am very interested in experiencing new things, no matter if just food or general life attitude and I have an open approach to everything. I have a good sense of humor and enjoy a good laugh.Interesses

I graduated from school last year and I want to study at a university after my gap year. In school I was especially interested in Chemistry in this subject, I also won the school award for chemistry in my graduation year. I speak German and English fluently and can speak some Swedish. I am also able to understand a little bit of french. I worked as a waiter cashier for six months and in addition to that as a cashier for three months.I also did some „handyman“ things like building a chicken house or doing a renovation of an old wooden house (changing front-boards, painting, paperhanging, etc.). Playing a team sport taught me to be a team player and also discipline to work on myself. My uncle is a farmer of a ecological school farm, so I also know a little bit about how farm life is like. Last year I learned how to drive and I have now a drivers license.
In my now nearly two months on the Ranch I learned so much I can’t put everything down. But in general how Ranch live works, how to act independently and help yourself. My everyday chores are often to move the cows or sheep, give them new pieces of land, trail maintenance (cutting down trees, fixing fences), feeding the pigs or helping out in the garden. I also learned how to drive an excavator, dumptruck, bobcat, little tractors and my favorite off all a little Kawasaki ATV, which is a lifesaver on such a big Ranch (1800 acres).Idade
