Travel information

Description

We are both very curious people, longing to get to know people with other stories than our own. Spending time in nature, writing music, learning about skills like gardening and self-sufficiency are also things that interest us. For Miriam, happiness is packaged in a little box with the label *languages, animals, deep conversations and playing with kids*. Elias box of happiness includes *nature, friends&family, vegan pastries, writing*.

More details about your skills

Miriam has experience in working with kids from volunteering in Peru for 9 months in a congregation. The work was combined with a leadership education and consisted of leading and supporting youth groups and Sunday school for young children. She has also volunteered as an English teacher on a 3-week camp in the south of China, which also included a bit of gardening with fruit trees. During four summers she has worked as a gardener in cemeteries, doing a variety of tasks. She has a great love of animals and nature which she has gained experience from through camping with her family and working at a cat shelter, amongst other things.

Eila has been working as a street musician for two summers and has had a number of gigs at festivals and other events. Apart from writing and playing music she also likes to be creative in other ways like painting, crocheting and writing. After graduating, Eila worked as a mailman for a year before she started a singer-songwriter education, where she met Miriam. Eila has some experience in cooking and baking since she went vegan at the age of 15 and then started preparing most of her food herself. Eila has been helping her father renovate a house in the northern area of Sweden where they painted, isolated and changed the floor for instance. She has also been doing some gardening and growing vegetables.
