Description

hi!

I am currently traveling and looking for work aways :)

I am swedish american. Born in sweden, raised in california and moved back 6 years ago. I spent the last 5 years in stockholm before deciding it was time for a change. Now I am traveling, following my sense of curiosity.

I have a great interest in culture and communities. While in stockholm I helped form a new community via a language exchange meetup. I also was active weekly in a self run culture house (Cyklopen)

I am calm, easy going, independent and I love learning. I have an engineers' mind, so I love problem solving, but I also love to be creative!

Some things I adore: the sun, leaves, flowers, kindness from other beings, rich music cultures, exquisite cuisine, a good hearty laugh, ample sleep, mountains, lakes, rivers, social contact, dancing, cooking, being creative, and reading.

I would like to find the most amazing words to describe my stay at Viola's. I experienced tranquility, community, knowledge-sharing, experimentation, and lots and lots of joy. I first came to Viola's in October for a 2 night stay to help prepare a new garden bed. Those two days felt like a week. I left longing to return for a longer stay. In June, … read more

I had a beautiful stay at Zsuzsi and Roger's. I immediately felt really welcome and at home. Zsuzsi did an amazing job hosting us volunteers while Roger was away. The food was tasty and the view gorgeous. Extra special to watch it transition from early budding spring into a blossoming summer vibe. It was so nice to picnic every sunny day. Another … read more

He did a great job with everything. He is also an interesting, fun … read more
