Description

Hi there. I am a friendly , outgoing and responsible person. I recently retired and I am looking for some new experiences and adventure. I enjoy many outdoor activities and I am an animal lover. I love nature and travelling to new places. I keep myself fit and busy with a variety of sports and hobbies. I have a wonderful common-law boyfriend who supports my adventurous side. I am hoping to do a couple of short term workaway stays over the next year, and then the plan is for both of us to experience this together (when he retires). Right now, I would mainly like a farm/ranch/countryside stays that involve animal care. Ideally it would be horse related, but I would definitely consider other experiences. Staying fit is a priority for me, so please don't let my age (58) discourage you from contacting me. I have a lot of life experience that I think would make me a good helper/worker in a variety of situations.

I look forward to hearing from you and starting my workaway experience.
