About me

I'm a spontaneous open minded girl who has a great sense of responsibility, intelligent and easy going. I have a sharp eye for what needs to be done. Not afraid of mud and dirt. Love to be in nature and like simplicity. I like my alone time every now and then, to recharge my battery. This is very important to me. Love the little things in life and love freedom.
Great animal lover and just love to be near them and take care of them.
My daily job (for 8 years now) is taking care of elderly people or people who are ill. I keep their homes nice and tidy and have a signaling function. When I see they are getting worse or need special care I arrange that they get it.
I think it's very important to be aware and take care of mother nature in every way we can. For example I would love to build and live in an earthship!! Sustainable living! Like to learn more about selfsufficient living in every aspect
In my free time I like to draw, read, go outside, spend time in my lovely garden, walk the dog of a friend, see my friends and enjoy a lovely dinner we've prepared together. I like sailing, swimming and horseriding.
At the moment I live in Portugal and I'm ready to begin my next chapter in my adventure

Preferred location

This year I will travel till december(2016) and I really would like to have a great stay in one of these countries.
I would like to learn new skills, I'm a very open minded person and not afraid to get my hands dirty.
I must say I'm open for long term stay if it feels natural to do so for both sides. I'm very eager to learn and experience other ways of living and if I love it there maybe I'll stay for good!

Skills

I'm a real animal lover and most of my education was in the field of animals. Pets and also farm animals. I've milked cows, worked with sheep and also with horses. Great with pets! Real nature lover also!
I've mucked stalls, gave horses light training (natural horsemanship, ground work) etc
Also I've got quite some experience with painting houses. For a girl I've got a good technical understanding and I'm overall a quick learner, especially when it has my interest!
At home I like gardening but I'm no expert. I have a great interest in ecological ways.I'm also a creative person.

Additional info

I am not a smoker, I have a drivers license, I am not a vegetarian and I have no allergies.
