Travelling
Description
I am an architect from Sweden who absolutely loves to travel! I want to be away for several months at a time to really get to know the places I visit, or move to them to call them my home. Slow traveling really is my favourite and I have couchsurfed since 2011. Staying with the locals and instantly getting a friend in a stranger is beautiful and heartwarming and I have for a long time wanted to use Workaway. I want to contribute even more and learn things on the way. I have always been hardworking and I miss working with my body instead of justs at a desk or in hospitality where I have worked since I was 16. That has taught me patience, always having a smile on my face and creating a positive working environment. I would love to help out with farm work or something creative, perhaps look after your beloved animals and house, I find a weirdly large amount of joy by cleaning and organising, and can’t wait to get my hands dirty. Since 2016 I have been volunteering at a Swedish reggae festival that fills my heart with love every summer, and I love to go camping, hiking and staying close to the nature.
In May last year I had my first Workaway experience in NY, USA and it was incredible! I met a friend for life, a family that I can't wait to see again and have so much love for. I also went to Italy in October to petsit the cutest dog and cat that will stay in my heart forever. I have met so sweet and inspiring people on this journey, people I have stayed in contact with and really want to meet again. This is more than just going somewhere to work, it is to connect with interesting and likeminded people to exchange something beautiful with. It has really made me curious about the rest of this community and it has confirmed that this is a place where I feel happy.
If you are interested to know more about me you can always check out my couchsurfing profile. I look forward to meeting you all!
