Description
Hello I'm Jen! I live in the USA (Chicago, IL) and looking to take a few months out of my normal routine to slow down and explore different parts of the world. I love bustling cities as much as remote green spaces, but ultimately crave being outside as much as possible. I enjoy experiencing other cultures through the lens of everyday activities - truly like a local. I look forward to meeting new people and hopefully learning new skills along the way!

I was with Niccolo and Monse from mid-November through mid-December of last year for 4 weeks. I mostly worked with Niccolo on projects, such as building a beehive, gathering and sorting firewood, cooking beer, and organizing. I loved the days I got to work in Monse's amazing gardens!

What a beautiful area! Despite it raining most days during my stay mid-October through mid-November (3 weeks), it was still green and lush and not too cold yet. I loved exploring the nearby hiking trails or talking a long walk along the road every morning before work started (especially loved visiting the Viking cairn). Due to the weather, a lot… read more

We loved to have Jennifer staying for 3 weeks in October/November 2024. She is very easygoing and we felt like having a friend staying around despite a few years age difference between us.... She helped us with a range of things, such as cleaning in and around the house, preparing the greenhouse for the winter, removing leaves from the driveway,… read more
