Description
Hi there!
My name is Jonna, I am born and raised in Sweden.

I seek to be part of a community/family, big or small, surrounded by nice people with who I can share inspiration, ideas and life's little stories with.

I was living alone in the countryside for a year last year (I was still been seeing friends and family, so I am not a complete hermit haha), so I would say that I am used to independent work, but I don't want to continue living alone this year, I am therefore seeking a place where I can connect with people.

I have been doing Workaway for 6 months now, in Jamaica, St. Croix and am now in Mexico, so I have some experience volunteering.

I enjoy spending time in nature, taking photos and filming, making videos, and, creating/building anything I can stand back and look at, feeling proud of.

I went to university to study civil engineering in media technology, and I am now freelancing as a content creator for a renewable energy company in California (where I stayed between 2019-2020). I worked as an au pair for two years (in the U.S.) before I went to university so I know the value of a good match.

I think my friends would describe me as adventurous, free-spirited, smiling, imaginative and creative.

I feel like there are so many places to see, so many people to meet and so many things to try. I am very excited to start living the Workaway life!

More details about your skills
I have spent most summers of my life in my family's cottage in the countryside, I know that buildings need fixing, and gardens and animals need taken care of. I may not know exactly how, but practical problem solving excites me. I am interested in herbs and their uses, building things, decorations, and everything when it comes to growing your own food. I'm not educated in building stuff, but very comfortable sawing, hammering (the basics), which I find really fun!

I really enjoy the artistic side of...anything! I like to paint and draw, love arts and crafts, making little details to decorate a space and give it a feeling.

I spent one summer in Yellowstone, working as a housekeeper, cleaning the hotel rooms.

I spent 10 years of my youth horseback riding, so I am pretty comfortable around large animals.

Jonna is wonderful! No matter the task, Jonna ready to work. And she's a real joy to know. She has a passion for filming and editing her videos and she's great at it. But she's just as capable of getting down to work in the hot and humid cistern to pressure wash and re-seal the walls. She loves edible plants and has a healthy curiosity that leads… read more

I spent three absolutely great months at this Workaway. I got to help out with so many things I never thought I would ever do or learn, like chiselling and grouting away on a stone wall, painting a container and cleaning and repairing a cistern. Sure, the work can be hard but it is so very rewording. I felt very accomplished at the end of each… read more

I spent a month at the place and had a great time. The hosts and the manager are all very kind, fun and supportive. They all want you to have the best experience possible. They are also very informative when it comes to events and traditions in the city. The tasks are pretty light, mainly cleaning the living and office spaces, and if you have any… read more

Jonna was a wonderful volunteer to have around. She completed every task she was assigned in a timely manner, she was always willing to help, and did a great job being an intentional part of our community here. And she makes very cool videos! :)
