Description
Hi! I’m Melissa I’m currently a student studying a degree in Philosophy. My friends describe me as the colour yellow because I love the sun and try to be cheerful and bubbly whenever I can! I love making my own clothes with my sewing machine, crotchet and crafts, creative writing and I’m on my university cheer team. I am a very hard worker; I enjoy meeting new people, spending time in nature and am a massive animal person! I have always wanted the opportunity to travel and think volunteering or working to give back to communities while learning about new cultures is a brilliant way to do so.

Laissé par le workawayer (Melissa Louise) pour l'hôte (Visit us in the north of ...)

I could not have asked for a better first experience using Workaway than when I decided to go and stay with Klara and Ricky at their amazing home in West Sweden. I was nervous for my trip, as it was my first time traveling alone, but from the moment I met Klara at the airport I felt calm and warmly welcomed.
Klara and Ricky's small farm is a… read more beautiful place to stay, located next to a gorgeous lake, and surrounded by a huge woodland; it is the perfect place for nature lovers or anyone in search of a peaceful lifestyle, secluded from busy everyday life. Their dogs (three Siberian huskies) are the sweetest creatures I have ever met, each with a distinct and wonderful personality; I grew very close to the dogs during my stay and was so sad to leave them, they are amazing company just like their owners! The two outdoor cats are also very sweet and so soft to have a cuddle with.
I stayed in my own cabin next to the main house, which was so cosy and had everything I needed for my stay, including my own bedroom, bathroom, kitchen and living room - it was like having my own home! The perfect place to go if I needed any time to myself to study or relax.
However, I spent most of my time in the main house or outdoors in the garden and surrounding land. Klara and Ricky were such kind hosts, and made sure I was included in everything, treating me like a member of the family. I joined their easter and birthday celebrations; we took small day trips together to surrounding towns; and at home had cosy dinners together followed by long conversations and board games. I truly felt as though I had lived with them forever and will miss staying there so so much! They were always ready to answer any questions I had about Sweden or life on a home-farm (or life in general!) over a fika, and I was happy to get to teach them about life in the UK. Sweden is a beautiful country with very friendly people. I would recommend for anyone who stays to take a trip into Gothenburg for the day, and especially to go to the Universeum which is an amazing nature museum.
During my stay, me and Klara managed to complete many different projects together including painting furniture for outdoors, wallpapering the entryway, planting fruits and vegetables, cleaning out the greenhouse, and many more daily tasks like feeding the chickens which all add to the experience of learning about a different lifestyle. I have learned so much from Klara and Ricky, like how to be more resourceful and use the things I have to make something new, and to not get stressed out when a project does not turn out how I hoped - we can simply start again!
I am truly grateful for the amazing experience that Klara and Ricky provided for me. I am really going to miss them and hope to go back and stay with them again whenever I can! I would recommend staying with this host to anybody who is uncertain, you will have an amazing time. Thank you Klara and Ricky, and good luck with your next workawayer :)
