Description
Cornelia:
Hello! I am 22 yo girl from Sweden and I would describe myself as an enthusiastic and creative person who wants to connect with new people and explore different ways of living.
Currently I am full time student in Uppsala studying Veterinary Science in my 3rd year. I spend most of my free time with friends, in the kitchen baking/cooking, or playing music (and hanging out with Gustav, of course). I especially love folk music and play the violin in a small Swedish folk music group. My biggest passion however is animals and they have always been a core part of my life. Not so much after moving cities to study, but almost all my free time growing up was spent in the horse stable and on farms.
My prior exeperience is mainly related to animals as I've worked on a broad variety of farms (including workaway) and have had horses for many years. Apart from that I am happy to contribute in any way I can and love to learn new skills!
Gustav:
I'm a 23 year old medical student from Uppsala, Sweden.
I would describe myself as a calm and life loving person who draws energy from interacting with, learning from and being able to help people around me.
In my day to day life i'm a full time medical student since about 3,5 years back. My education is quite dynamic and challenges me in new ways all the time, wich I love. Studying towards a career in helping people is also a big source of direction and meaning for me. Apart from that, a favourite past time of mine is playing guitar in a student band in Uppsala. I also spend a lot of free time cooking, meeting friends and whenever possible, travelling (And hanging out with Cornelia of course).
My main interests in life are people, music and food. I've never tried Workaway before, but it strikes me as a great way of experiencing those things in a genuine and new way! I can't really boast with any specific farm or handywork experience, but I'm always keen to learn and eager to help with whatever's needed! -
