I have already done building tasks, general maintenance, grass strimming, lifting heavy stuff, I also make Youtube videos about my experiences, which is very exciting.

Last year I was helping renovate this Swedish wooden cabin or "stuga":

Currently I'm very much interested in learning self-sufficiency, growing vegetables, garden work, learning to work with animals, being in nature, being part of a commune of people helping each other grow. I used to have small balcony gardens and loved them, I recently started baking my own sourdough bread.

I have varying degrees of experience in different things.

I have already been a:
- digital content creator (video editing, graphic illustrations, blogging, vlogging, post texts)
- drummer and bedroom musician: recorded my own music and drum covers
