Description
Hi, I'm Leni!
I am 19 years old and from Germany, in summer 2025 I graduated from school and decided to take a gap year between school and university. Until the end of may I have been working in a parent-child-clinic for eight months and took care of children mostly aged between 5 and 7 which was a lot of fun!
I am looking forward to travel through Sweden now from June to September 2026, mainly to meet new people, get to know the lifestyle, learn the Swedish language and enjoy the beautiful nature there!
I love animals (especially horses and dogs), long walks in the forest, dancing, reading books, photography, crocheting and good (vegetarian) food.
I would descibe myself as a generous, reliable, calm, patient and (more or less) spontaneous person :)

More details about your skills
I have a lot of experience when it comes to taking care of animals, because of our own pets (horse, dog, bunnies, tortoises). I love to learn them new tricks (except for the tortoises haha), cuddle them and go for long rides with the horse I take care of. But of course I am also able to do the work that needs to be done when owning animals, such as cleaning the stable.
Recently, I did an internship in the field of equine therapy (I am also interested in psychology-related topics and want to study psychology after my gap year).
In addition, I get along well with children and am good at teaching/ explaining things. I regularly tutor two students in the subjects maths and english. Plus I have worked in childcare from October 2025 until May 2026, so I have experience with taking care of children!
But I am definitely interested in learning many new things, too and would love to be a help for someone, no matter for what.

What else ...
I love being outside. And I imagine it to be very nice to go for a swim or to do a canoeing trip in a lake in the forest.
I also enjoy playing any kind of board games, spending time together with other people and having a good laugh together. But I'm kind of an introvert, which means that every now and then some alone time is needed, too.

Left by Workawayer () for host (Come and help in a creative ...)

I stayed here for three weeks this September and had a great and memorable time there, which is why I can really recommend this place to anyone who likes nature (lakes and forest) and is interested in meeting new people from all over the world!
During my stay I got to meet three other workawayers who stayed there temporarily like me, and two… read more artists, with which I had really interesting and nice conversations. Plus some people who just visited the place for a few hours for different reasons. In addition, there are John and Thomas who are staying here for a longer period of time (planning to stay there more or less permanently I think) as “creative supporters”. And you will of course also meet Gonçalo (who’s the boss), but because he is living an about half an hour drive away from here he can’t come there really often. They were all really kind and lovely people!
When you arrive there your main contact person will probably be John, who got there about a year ago and is now basically the manager of the building and the people arriving. He is a really nice person who is open to telling stories about the place or his former life for those interested. John also showed us a few really stunning places in and near.
As a workawayer you will have to work about five hours a day from monday to friday, which is totally fine and can also be a lot of fun. My tasks were mainly continuing with building the outdoor sauna on all the days where it wasn’t raining. When the weather was bad we had tasks like organising the workshop, cleaning often-used rooms in the school or even trying to repair some broken bikes. In return you will get your own cozy little cabin for sleeping and free access to yummy and healthy food plus a kitchen. But we had minimum one meal a day together so cooking just for yourself wasn’t often the case, which was cool!
In your free time you can explore the surrounding nature by foot or riding one of the bikes there. If you are lucky you will even see some reindeers! Or you can stay in the school building on rainy days, where there are many different kinds of labs (for dancing, painting, making music, etc.). And if you think you aren’t such a creative person you can just watch tv or play pool :).
My personal highlight was seeing the aurora in two nights, it was absolutely amazing!
So thanks to all the people I met there, who made my first workaway experience super cool!

(Excellent)
