  • Description

    I’m a 27-year-old creative soul from Sweden, with a passion for crafts, animals, and nature. I grew up on a small animal farm outside Uppsala, which gave me a deep love and respect for both animals and the rhythm of rural life. I’m a trained ceramicist and currently studying the humanities with a focus on cultural anthropology — I’m fascinated by how people live, create, and connect with each other across the world.

    What motivates me most is meaningful, hands-on work that brings people together and contributes to something greater than myself. I find happiness in the simple things: working with my hands, being outdoors, caring for animals, learning new skills, and sharing stories. Whether it’s helping in the garden, being part of a creative project, or just enjoying good conversation over a cup of tea — I try to meet each moment with curiosity, warmth, and a willingness to help.

  • More details about your skills

    I bring a broad range of practical and interpersonal skills that I believe can be useful in many different Workaway settings. I grew up on a small farm in Sweden, so I’m used to physical work and being around animals — including horses, sheep, pigs, geese, chickens, dogs, and cats. I’m not afraid to get my hands dirty, whether it’s helping out with animals, gardening, farming, or building projects. I’ve also assisted with home renovations and basic construction work.

    Creativity is a big part of who I am — I’m a trained ceramicist, used to working with my hands and thinking visually. I also have experience teaching and leading workshops, especially with children, and I’ve worked with people with neuropsychiatric conditions, which has strengthened my communication skills and adaptability.

    I’m currently studying humanities with a focus on cultural anthropology, which has deepened my understanding of people, cultures, and everyday life in different parts of the world. This perspective helps me connect with others in a respectful and curious way, whether I’m sharing space or participating in a community.

    In group settings, I’m a reliable and proactive team member. I take initiative but also enjoy collaborating and learning from others. I’m handy, communicative, and always ask questions if I’m unsure about something — I value clear communication and good relationships above all.

    I’m fluent in English, both spoken and written, and always eager to learn new things and contribute wherever I can.
