Description
My name is Guste, I was born in Lithuania, but moved to Norway when I was 10 years old. I have a bachelor's degree in journalism and I'm currently studying human migration. I love to travel, meet new people and be in nature. And more than anything I love to be around animals!

So far I've done a few workaways, which I've absolutely loved! It's so fun to come to a new place and learn new skills, develop friendships and try a new way of living. I have a positive attitude and I'm not afraid to do something I've never done before. I did my last workaway in November of 2024, but I've missed this way of travel, so I'm planning on doing more workaways this year!

More details about your skills
One of my favorite tasks is to take care of animals. I love seeing them happy and comfortable in their surroundings. I've taken care of chickens, dogs, cats, llamas and even parrots. I've also been doing cleaning of bedrooms, kitchens, bathrooms, communal areas etc. I've also worked with different tasks outside such as gardening, digging, mowing the grass, using the machete to cut down unwanted plants and a bit of permaculture. Also general maintenance like fixing fences, painting walls and benches etc. I've also done a little flower arranging :)

Guste is one of the most outgoing, happy, and friendly people you will ever meet. When she was at the Krishna Temple for 5 weeks in October November 2024, there were volunteers from several other countries along with three Americans. It was a jolly group with Guste at the very epicenter of all the board games, outings, hikes etc. During work hours… read more

My five weeks at the temple were great! I learned a lot - from how to care for llamas and peacocks, to finding creative solutions for tasks such as mending a fence or putting up branches in the parrots living space. Yes, there are four beautiful parrots whom I miss very much! It was very interesting to hear their life stories and how they found… read more

This is such a great workaway! I stayed at Village Seed for two weeks in October, and absolutely loved it! I really liked being immersed in nature with an outside kitchen and an outdoor shower. But what really made my time here special were all the permanent residents. Thank you for all the meaningful conversations!
I would like to quickly… read more

This is a great Workaway! I loved it here, and kept extending my stay :) the nature is absolutely beautiful with rivers, trees and mountains. The work is not too difficult, and I really enjoyed learning about permaculture. I also met some wonderful people here. If you get the chance to volunteer here - do it!

I had the most amazing time at the hostel! El Valle is a beautiful place, surrounded by mountains. The staff are super friendly and I had the chance to practice a lot of Spanish with them! I would highly recommend this Workaway :)

Gigi is simply the best. Such an amazing, chill and caring person. She helped us in many tasks at the park, from painting, housekeeping, to poop patrol and feeding the animals. She has such a positive attitude and is always ready to give a hand with anything. Her Spanish is excellent, and she respected the house rules and took care of our place!… read more

I spent the whole month of February at the park and I wish I could've stayed longer! It was an absolutely wonderful experience and I would go back in a heartbeat. I loved that the park is so peaceful and that you're surrounded by nature. Another highlight are the international dinners which have taught me so much about food (and the card games… read more

I stayed here for almost two weeks at the beginning of December, and I really wish I had stayed longer. It was just enough time to start getting to know all the kids! The staff was really nice and helpful, very friendly :) and the food that Clarissa makes is so good, especially the lentil soup!
As for the work, it mostly consists of cleaning. So… read more

It was a real pleasure having hosted Guste with us! She's a lovely girl with a beautiful heart. Her joy is contagious! She is a great helper - all the tasks assigned to her were always done with perfection. It was beautiful to see how she was able to connect with the other volunteers and also with our kids, even though her stay was not long.

Guste stayed with us for about half a month which flew by way too quickly! She helped us with the usual cleaning and housekeeping but also with crafts (and learned to sew through that :)) and organizing an impromptu dance party. She got along great with the community. Hope to see you back in Tartu!
