Description

Hello

I'm Aggie and over the next year I would like to learn more about the practical aspects of permaculture as well as beekeeping while I travel across Europe, Asia and Oceania (I'm currently in Sweden). I would also be keen to learn more about traditional crafts, such as knitting, embroidery, fence making, etc. Things that are slowly being forgotten by the newer generations.

Eventually, I would love to start my own project with a hope of moving away from the corporate world.

My primary interests are organic farming, horticulture/permaculture, traditional plant usage, animal care and more recently beekeeping (I've just completed an intro into beekeeping with the London Beekeepers Association, as well as the foundation in plant growth and development with the Royal Horticulture Society). However, I also enjoy exploring traditional local crafts (pottery, fence making, knitting, embroidery, etc) and a good DIY project (painting, sanding, basic carpentry etc.)

Simply put, I like to learn new things.

I stayed at Matilda's and Mikael's place for nearly three weeks in June. I felt very welcomed from the start and really enjoyed my time on their farm.
My time was mainly spent in the vegetable garden on weeding, planting out the seedlings as well as sorting out the greenhouse, including planting and stringing quite a large number of tomato … read more

Having Aggie here was a great experience! She helped me clear an overgrown garden patch and set new plants and we did some bee-keeping and honey-extraction together! I experienced her as very considerate, smart, motivated and active with a great positive attitude. She brought in her own helpful ideas, was a fast learner and went straight to the … read more

During my second week we've also managed to do a bit … read more

Aggie was a wonderful and flexible helper when she was here a good month last autumn. It was as oftentimes, quite hectic around the quarters of the lighthouse, with several projects going on, and Aggie's positive attitude and efficient energy was very supportive and helpful. I had a feeling she could do anything she put her hands on and head into, … read more

This feedback is long overdue!
I spent nearly 5 glorious weeks on Litloy fyr between in Aug/Sept 2025.

Unbeknown to me at the time, this place was going to have a profound effect on my way of life.

If you value nature and sustainable living, love open water, plus a spot of an evening yoga on the beach this place is for you.
