Description

Hi I’m Julia, 23 years old and currently taking a year out from my university studies to explore the world a bit and some new interests whilst I can! I am Swedish and have grown up living in Gibraltar, then continuing my education in England means I have stayed in the UK since I was 13. I love spending time outdoors immersed in nature, often going out for hiking trips on the weekends here in England’s Lake and Peak District. I would describe myself as authentic, honest, optimistic, open minded and always hardworking!

I am an Architecture student and would love to learn some carpentry stuff, help with painting and just general renovation work. I also enjoy working in the garden and helping out with vegetable patches so I am happy to do a bit of everything!

I have recently gone on a solo backpacking trip in Central America, volunteering in Guatemala, then traveling though Nicaragua and Costa Rica. I have had 2 workaway experiences so far, staying at Chateau Feely in France, helping the vineyard during harvest season last September (which was amazing!) and helping around the house at an eco-hostel in Erfoud, Morocco, with renovations and making mud bricks.

P.s. Generally looking for workaway stays that are around 2-3 weeks long.
