Description
Hey there!

My name is Luise!

During my university studies, I regularly spent my term breaks doing workaway on farms in Sweden and Norway. I worked at an organic farm in Sweden several summers in a row and picked all kinds of vegetables while learning about organic farming practices. Last summer, I spent a month on a sheep farm in northern Norway making hay and learning about animal keeping.

I love meeting new people and learning new skills in friendly and open-minded environments while spending as much time outside as possible. I love being outdoors in all kinds of weather, I am very practically minded and always eager to learn from other people and to have insights into their daily lives. I am especially interested in projects pursuing a sustainable objective and also try to reduce my own life’s environmental impact.
I am a very reliable, tolerant and outgoing person easy to get along with.

I now started my first full-time job which limits the time I can spend doing workaway but I haven't lost my love for learning about different cultures and farming practices while travelling - looking forward to meeting you!

More details about your skills
I could help you with general household tasks and work in the garden, I am practically thinking, flexible and I learn fast. I don’t mind getting my hands dirty when working, I like crafting, I am eager to find solutions to challenges and I care about the small details.

I am quite skilled when it comes to tasks related to textiles and operating a sewing machine, so if you have anything that needs fixing I am more than happy to help you out.

Apart from that I am of course looking forward to developing new skills by learning from other people!

Thank you for your help with hay making and weed pulling and for sharing so many exciting topics - too bad you were only here for such a short time. I had the feeling afterwards that we could have talked about many more themes.
Maybe your way will lead you here again - I would be glad!

I spent four wonderful days in mid-May at Caro and Hagen’s place and really enjoyed my stay with them.

Caro and Hagen taught me how to use a scythe and then we started each morning with an hour of scything a nearby meadow to make hay for the sheep. Caro also let me experiment with the sheep wool and her spinning wheel, we went to a local market… read more

We were so lucky to have Luise here during July, which amongst others is haymaking season, the most busy and important time of the year. Luise is a pleasure to have around. She is a very good worker and always offers her help, both with tasks at the farm as well as with the daily taks in the house. She is also able to see what needs to be done and… read more

I had the opportunity to spend the month of July with Barbara and Gunnar and their sheep and had a wonderful time on their beautiful island! We began the month with harvesting rhubarb and when the hay-making season started, we spent the sunny summer days sorting and hanging grass together to make hay for the sheep in winter.
