Hi! Im Elissa I love the ocean & nature. I love litterature, being social and learning new things!

Description

Hei! My name is Ylva, but i go by Elissa. I'm nineteen years old and love the ocean, sea and water in general with my all, and long to do volunteer work along the shore :p I want to learn as much as possible about cultures; music, literature, behaviours and techniques, ideas and works of art.
I am very social, like to try new things, and humble at that. I care deeply about the earth, nature, animals and humans. I want to do volunteer work to improve the life of all of the former. I hope to learn how to live in a sustainable manner and incorporate that into my life, as well as others´.

I like to write, read, swim and free dive (not professionally, just for fun), be in the sea or waters, in general, as well as in the green and other nature. I enjoy going on hikes, being social, listening and making music. I feel an urge to be on the move and see as much as possible, making genuine connections as I go. Photographing and making films and poetry to the work is a genuine interest, creating memories of what I see- primarily people or nature (ocean and sunsets). Like everything i do, this isn't a professional interest, but maybe some time.

I speak Norwegian and English fluently, and some Spanish. I'd like to learn as many languages as I have time for - after Spanish and Italian, I want to learn Arabic (uncertain which) and Hawaiian.
Soon-to-be interests and hobbies will be traveling, farming, practicing yoga, and volunteering.

I really want to learn how to surf, play real volleyball, meditate, cook and farm.

More details about your skills

Honestly, the only skill I have is being eager to learn, hihi.

I have, however, done 2 WWOOF experiences in Italy, where I learned to garden, be with children, take care of pets, cook, clean hotel rooms and bathrooms as well as common areas and dishes. I harvested food, cut branches at the vineyard, did laundry and socialised a lot with the community, families and guests and fellow volunteers.
