Description

About me? Well, i´d call my self friendly, positive, empathetic, curious and eager to learn. I love the outdoors and to connect with nature. Sunrises or an evening swim in the lake always set a positive tone for my day.

Tending to my garden and spending time with my two family dogs who are a central part of my life brings me great happiness. Even though I am social and loves connecting with others, I am not one to put myself in the center of the room. I prefer to observe and contribute if I see it creates value. I find it very important to respect others boundaries and personal space as I wish others do with mine.

I'm always curious about the world around me, eager to experience new cultures, and open to diverse ways of life. Exploring new places, trying new things, and learning new skills keep me excited and inspired. I would definitely call myself an empath who find joy in caring for others, whether it's people or animals. Building meaningful connections is something I truly cherish.

More details about your skills

Work experiences:
From an early age I've been working with and involved with food, service and hospitality.

I have experience working in restaurants and catering, customer support, as a cashier and as a hostel receptionist and housekeeper, amongst other.

Customer service brings me great joy and fulfillment as I thrive of coming in handy and giving my all to others.

Formal education:
This year I got my Bachelor degree in Human Resources - which has taught me about people and their functioning at a workplace, group psychology and the importance of a good work environment.

Life skills:
I have a life long experience with horses, cats and dogs as they've always been in our family. When I was younger i spent time at my relatives farm where they had milk goats, and I've always felt very much at home in farming environments and with all types of animals.

Cooking, overall kitchen skills and basic fermentation - I regularly bake sourdough bread and brew kombucha. A few years back I was into making wine and beer, and I took a course in beer brewing.

Gardening - although I only started growing vegetables and flowers 3 years ago I've learned a lot from my mistakes, and my love for it grows stronger each day

Cats - for the past 3 years I’ve been volunteering at a cat rescue where I 3 evenings per month has taken care of the cats including feeding, cleaning, giving medication and socializing. The cats varied from feral cats who were very shy and scared, to kittens born feral and needing constant care, and indoor cats needing new homes due to the owners not being able to care for them anymore

Cleaning and house keeping - from working with cleaning hostel rooms, motel rooms and my family's rental properties in Torrevieja, Spain.

Crocheting - a recent favorite hobby I started last summer and only done simpler projects. I have currently been ona break due to inflammation in my hand but I'm slowly getting back into it

Langauges:
Swedish - native
English - fluent
Spanish - beginner / intermediate-ish, I understand more than I speak, simply because of shyness of speaking.

Drivers license (for manual car) since 2018

What else ...

I would say I am very humble to being outside my comfort zone and I feel great thankfulness and appreciation to anyone who want to involve me in their daily life and teach me new skills and ways of thinking. I am very excited to start this chapter in life and look forward to all new experiences that might come my way.
