Description
Hej hej! I am Nils-Arne, a very easygoing, adventurous and spontaneous Swede. I am a happy individual who is not afraid to try new things and am keen to travel/experience/learn constantly! I have been told I am a quick and considerate learner and with that am interested in most tasks at hand.

I have a university degree in international business and am currently in carpentry school which I am super excited about. I am often found outdoors engaging in mountaineering, skiing, and winter swimming which typically gets me the most thrilled. I have regularly been active in sport, most of it having been ski racing, lacrosse, and MMA. I have the desire to try new things and discover what is unknown to me, with a mindset to try everything at least twice.

I am a very calm person and enjoy spending time with people just talking about everything and nothing, will definitely take initiative and tag along. Truly looking forward to going places and connecting with people of different cultures/perspectives/lifestyles!! :)

More details about your skills
Firstly I have the will to try and am a rather fast learner, whatever the task at hand is I am confident I will be able to pick it up and apply it to what needs to be done. I am not afraid to get my hands dirty, I have worked many different jobs and would consider myself handy or at least I'm getting there haha!

I currently go to wood technology school and work at a bouldering climbing gym in Seattle and operate a 13-room boutique hotel with my sister in Roslyn, WA. Service minded to the brim.

In terms of my studies in international business, I may be able to offer help to a workaway host with a business with strategy, general accounting, marketing, financing, and other business needs.

I grew up neighboring a farm in rural Sweden alongside horses, cows, goats, pigs, and chickens and spent a significant amount of time around and working with them, my love for animals in general too have me very interested in working with them and caring for them!

It was great having Nils around as a volunteer at our foundation. Nils is very easy going, fun, respectful, and open-minded. No task was too small or too big, and he is a real team player. Our local Zambian team members enjoyed working with him a lot, he learned from them, they learned from him and the cultural exchange they had together was… read more

I spent 3 sunny HOT weeks with Sabine & Emma and the wonderful Zambian team which were full of new experiences. I mostly worked with the team in the day with various projects from finishing a work shop, gardening, building a termite clay stove, and various tasks. Lunches were a great time to get to know a lot about Zambian/Kunda culture and be… read more

Nils-Arne was an outstanding volunteer at the lighthouse this summer. With his background he could certainly have helped us out with a variety of things, but he went all in for the biggest challenge during these summer weeks - moving heavy stones so we could get ahead with the building. Not afraid of hard work, he became a stone cracker specialist… read more

My time with the crew was fantastic. I stayed 6 weeks and felt very involved overall with the work, team energy, and the island itself. It was very special :)

I'm not far from believing Elena and Frode have a super power for living in such a remote, weather vulnerable, beautiful place and taking on the daily/weekly chores with stamina! They are… read more

Although I only spent close to a week at the farm with Riette and her family it made such a wonderful impact on my quick tenure in South Africa. It was such a pleasure to feel warmly at home in this place surrounded by mountains, fruits, and incredible flora! I enjoyed the work and downtime just the same, being outside and living the rural peace.… read more

Nils was real fun to have to stay and such a worker! He thrives on tasks that require his strength. Nils did a terrific job transforming the weed covered area into a pristine patch ready to plant vegetables in it. He also helped Phil will clearing fallen timber and some bush paths. We learned so much about Sweden and his time in America. Always… read more

My stay with Jose and Phil was absolutely fantastic, from the very beginning i felt welcomed and included with their lifestyles and projects, a very warming experience! I stayed for a little over a week and there was plenty to do, if it was to go out into nature/go into town/or winding down it was all available. I felt the work very stimulating,… read more

Even in the cold of winter, we could feel his warmth, humor, and energy. Working with him, even with limited words, everyone would always laugh and happily complete the tasks together. On the day he left, we realized that even in such a short time, we had formed a deep bond with one another. We look forward to meeting again.

My time here was heartwarming and full of learning, 2 weeks flew by much too fast! Everyone here was so kind and respectful, I truly felt welcome and involved, always with an opportunity to help. To be introduced to meditation and Anapanasati in such an authentic environment here was beautiful and beyond my expectations, i plan to come back :)… read more

This was our first time as Workaway hosts and we were super happy with the experience! Nils was an absolute delight to have around. He was positive, excited to experience the area and always ready for the job at hand. He was not afraid to get his hands dirty while gardening, dragging logs, or while sanding and painting. He took initiative eg. by… read more

I stayed with Ada and Jarrah for just over 2 weeks and it was a bonza experience! Immediately i felt part of the whole family and comfortable, Leia the baby was a bit shy at first but we became great friends and i found myself jouking little rugby tackles of joy, Lenox the infant was adorable and it was so amazing to see how much he was growing in… read more

Spending 3 weeks at the farm was a great experience, I felt very involved with the work and each day had many differences apart from tending the chickens in the mornings which I really enjoyed. Many firsts from driving a tractor, wrestling and lifting pigs, driving on the left side of the road, replanting large plants, talking to baby chicks...… read more

From start to finish my time at the hut was very fullfilling, the company of people there were so fun and full of positivity even when things may not go as planned, such as when we were building a cement terrace and the mixer accidentally broke close to the end and had to mix the cement manually with shovels, but we were all still there together… read more
