Beschreibung
Hii i'm Fien, I'm 20 years old and I am now in my first year of studying History of Arts. Last year I took a gap year to travel and volunteer, where I fell in love with workaway. I really miss it so I decided to go volunteer again this summer!

I love meeting new people, learning new skills, opening myself up to the world and getting to experience genuine connections.
My whole life I've been surrounded by animals, especially horses and at home I have a cat who I love with my whole heart :)

Apart from nature, I'm also very keen about culture and art: I love to draw, paint, write, play (and listen to) music, as well as learning about it, and photography (I have a camera, which I will be taking with me when I travel). I enjoy visiting museums and going to concerts or theater a lot.
I am a very open-minded person and environmentally aware, I try to harm our earth as least as possible and want to make the world a better place.

Was könntest du arbeiten?
I have extensive experience with horses (ca. 10 years): riding them, taking care of them, mucking out, doing groundwork,...

On my workaways last year I mainly worked with horses in a natural horsemanship way, which is one of my passions. I also took care of other animals like cats and dogs, babysitted, helped in the households, did some gardening and repairing.

During highschool I worked as a waitress in a restaurant for a year and I volunteered for a few weeks at an animal shelter where I took care of the cats.
Right now I work (as a student job) as a sales-promotor for non-profit organisations as Oxfam, WWF,...

Vom Workawayer () für Host (Join our small family and ...)

It is very, very hard to put this into words but I tried :)
This has been one of the most beautiful and intense experiences of my life and I'm so grateful to have met Bianca and her family <3

First of all, the place itself is like heaven on earth. The nature is so beautiful and every morning I woke up in the van with a stunning sunrise over the… read more hills of Alentejo. The hikes and rides with the horses are amazing, you feel very connected while discovering these beautiful places together. They are so soft and intelligent, I've learned a lot from them.

The first week was incredibly overwhelming to me, it was all so new and I was very emotional because I got confronted with myself a lot but Bianca really helped me through it by supporting me, listening me and telling me she's proud of me. She always made me feel safe and loved and really seen as who I am. Bianca is such a gentle soul but also a very strong woman who I look up to, the work she does with the horses is so inspiring and you can see that she pours all her heart in it.

I've had so much fun, from galopping like crazy with Robin over the hills to building fairyhouses with the kids. In my freetime sometimes Bianca took me with her to see some places, I played games with the kids, had very nice conversations, baked a cake, read a book, cuddled with the cats, ... there's always something to do!

The work doesn't really feel like work once you get into the routine: feeding the animals, brushing and walking the horses, swapping them from field to field, cleaning up horsepoop and sometimes helping a bit in the household. You'll you go bed very tired but also very fulfilled :)
The second time I was there, there was another girl my age and it was very fun to be able to do the work together and in general to share this experience with someone! We talked and laughed a lot and became friends after a few days already.

The lifestyle is simple but so peaceful and I felt very healthy, I had so much more energy to do things than I was used to. I had time here to reflect about myself, which was sometimes hard but I'm also thankful because I discovered a lot about myself that I didn't know before.

I also was there when we had to say goodbye to Johnny, one of my favourite horses, which was incredibly hard. Everyone was feeling sad and stressed but we got through it together. It was a very emotional time but it was in a way also bonding.

Now it feels like I have a second family here. Thanks for everything, I love you guys and can't wait to see you again! <3

Vom Workawayer () für Host (Help us with gardening, ...)

I stayed with Piet & Myriam for 2,5 weeks and I really enjoyed it. It really felt like a home with good meals and interesting conversations.
It’s the perfect place to come at peace with yourself and all the cats and Titus will make you feel very loved! The work we did was very varied, I’ve learned a lot about gardening and learned how to make my… read more
