I am looking for someone to share in an adventure, perhaps a hike or something completely different.
My next destination:
Marlborough, New Zealand - from Jul 2025 until Jul 2025 View allDescription
Hello there!!
I'll be exploring the South Island of New Zealand in June and July—hope to cross paths with some interesting people along the way!
I'm Josefin, a 19 year old engineering student from Sweden, excited for new adventures and meaningful experiences✨
New Zealand holds a special place in my heart, as I was born there, and I'm keen on experiencing the simple joys of everyday Kiwi life😊.
My love for nature is deep and I try to spend much of my time between studying outside, whether it's hiking, biking, picking wildflowers, or spending hours at the beach collecting seashells🌸🌼☘.
I'm always up for an adventure and appreciate the little things in life. When I’m not outdoors, you’ll find me painting, playing guitar, doing yoga, cuddling with my cat or dancing. I also like horse-riding, have a love for planting and flowers and enjoy gardening!🌼 Not afraid to get muddy!
I have lots to learn, and there are so many amazing skills you can acquire if you put in an effort!
I'm a pescetarian.
This will be my first Workaway experience/trip, and I'm looking forward to not only meeting amazing people but also growing more courage as a person myself.Interests

More details about your skills
I speak fluent english and swedish, and know a little bit of german, french and maori (I can introduce myself and talk about the weather😊) . I would gladly teach you some swedish as best I can!
I enjoy being crafty and crochet, such as making macrame plant hangers.
I often help my mum with planting and taking care of the garden, and really enjoy doing that.
I've worked as a baker for two weeks, and made all the bread and buns for the bakery during this time, so I know a bit about baking and making bread. I was also a cashier at times at the bakery.
I can cook fairly well, and learn a lot each time, and can maintain and clean a house!
Back in Sweden I've done a lot of volunteering in different science youth organizations and planned and conducted science camps for high school students.
I have done horse-riding for 8 years, and volunteered as a stable caretaker at my riding school.
I'm quite good at programming as well, and have taken some programming courses.
Otherwise, I'm open to trying new things!Age
