Description
Hey!
I'm currently on an adventure with my van, driving southward from my home country Sweden. I felt I needed a change from a hectic life that wasn't making me happy, so I sold my apartment and moved into the van. I'm currently living in it together with my seven months old german shepherd Jonatan (who's also called Björn due to indecisiveness on my part).
I've done som Workawaying before with my friend, although he's using that account so I made a new one. I've had great experiences and met wonderful people through this service, which is what I enjoy most with this community. I'm an open, warm person and I enjoy helping and being of service. I'm compassionate, confident and calm and since there's already three C's there I might as well throw in competent.
I still do a little remote work in my own company, although I've scaled it down a lot. I'm a communications specialist and help companies with communication strategies, rebranding processes and advertising.
I personally don't feel like I have to do anything in particular, I'm happy to help with different things. The vibe is more important to me than the activity. I particularly enjoy animals of all kinds and things related to them, cooking and gardening.
I used to hunt a lot and have spent lots of time in the forest, on the sea and on farms with animals, mainly horses but also sheep, cows and chickens.
I hope I'll see you, all the best from me and Björnatan!

More details about your skills
• Marketing and copywriting - I have 20 years experience from marketing and advertising as well as a copywriter. I write professionally in English and Swedish. I'm skilled at crafting short, selling messages and coming up with ideas to get people's attention and liking. Much of my work is also rebranding processes, where I help management teams agree on their path forward and become clearer in terms of who their target audience is and how to reach them.
• I've had dogs since I was a kid and hunting dogs as an adult. I don't really hunt anymore though, so now I've switched to a working dog, german shepherd. I've worked at Hundstallet in Sweden, a dog shelter, where I handled all sorts of dogs.
• Always had a way with animals, often take care of my parent's estate when they're away. They have two dogs and eight Icelandic horses, three cats and previously chickens.
• Gardening, digging, carrying, draggin, sowing, picking, watering...
• Simpler construction. I can handle a hammer and some power tools but I can't build a house on my own.
• Happy to help in ways I haven't mentioned that you think I could perform.

What else ...
I meditate everyday, I used to read a lot but not so much anymore. I have a mountainbike and I enjoy riding it on trails and in the forest. I'd love to try new stuff like kite surfing, windsurfing and new ways to cook. Or just new things in general :)
