Description

Hello, my name is Kirsten - or Kiki, what I prefer. I am a 34 year old accountant, working at the same tax agency for the last 12 years. Sounds boring? That's why I am here. I am not looking for a lot of adventures in general but a new view and new experiences to find my way through life. Sitting in an office for 8 hours per day was fine for the last years but what really interrests me is learning all the possible versions of life that this world gives us. I would like to meet new people with different lifes, work with animals or learn about self-sufficient gardening.
I like to work with my hands. I might not be the physical strongest person - not at all - but I am ready to test my body and see what it ist able to accomplish. I am interest in working with wood, learning to build little things, like small furniture or even a fence if it is neccessary. In my freetime I already tried myself in building a little bench, that sits in front of a window and right now I'am building doll-furniture for miy nieces dollhouse. It is a learning by doing but I am keen on leaning more in here.
I am very interested in music, movies and art and in my freetime I'm practising yoga and tennis.

I'm always interested in learning new things. I am able to work with different tools like a power drill or other little tools you need in your daily life. I'm not scared to work with new ones i.e. a wood saw if there is the neccessity to work with those.

What else ...

I want to learn about life and experiences other people or work-awayers made.
The resources we have shouldn't be taken as granted and I want to know where they come from, how they are made and what it takes to create for example the wool that I buy for the sweaters I make.

It was a great help having Kirsten as a workaway. She helped with mainting the garden which freed me up to continue work on the house and did a bunch of painting that i would otherwise never get around to do. Easy going and can work independtly.

(Very good )

I had a very good time at Arno's. The area is so very quiet - except agricultural sounds. Having only landscape surrounding you slows life down, which - for me - was really nice.
Arno had a lot of different tasks for me and offered me to try different tasks and tools that I have never used before, like cutting the flooring and trim for his hall … read more

Kiki was an absolute joy to host. She has such a kind, gentle personality and brought a calm and positive atmosphere wherever she went.

This was my second stop on my workaway-travel through Sweden and although I thought that my first hosts could not be overbid, this place made me have a very special experience. It is such a nice place to stay for a workaway because of its vacation Flair. Malin, Magnus, Doro and Patrick are very kind and you always feel welcomed. They give you … read more

I had my first ever workaway at Alissas and Markus' place and I could not think of a better one. They welcomed me with an open mind and heart that I felt comfortable very fast. The tasks they gave me were very various and they trusted me with these things even when they could not be around.
Thank you for two really enjoyable weeks! I learnt a lot … read more
