Description

Hi! I'm Kaj, 21 years old, originally from Germany but currently studying in Sweden :)
I've previously done workaway (before starting university in 2024) and am planning to travel again during the less busy phases of my study program. I love getting to see new places, learning about different cultures, finding new things I enjoy, and everything else that workaway brings with it. At the moment I'm also very interested in learning more about sustainability and growing plants.
In my free time I enjoy listening to music, being creative, climbing, playing board games, hanging out with people, going on walks, exploring nature and much more :)
I'm looking forward to making some great memories!

More details about your skills

I'm familiar with the basics when it comes to gardening, assembling and building furniture and know my way around a computer. I enjoy cooking, baking, doing small crafts and taking care of our many houseplants, so while I'm not an expert, I still have some experience in those areas :) Growing up surrounded by pets (cats, rabbits, a horse and a dog) also taught me how to take care of animals and I enjoy spending time with them. I'm a fast learner when it comes to most things, not afraid of hard work, and fluent in German and English. Currently I'm also learning Swedish, I'm still a beginner but hopefully I'll get better over time!

I highly recommend Kai. She was a delight to host. She is very easy to get on with and her language skills are impressive. She quickly grasped what needed to be done and worked well on her own. It was cold and wet for most of the time she was with us, however, this did not deter her .

We would have her stay again without question.

Thanks Kai, … read more

I stayed with Veronica and Staffan for about five weeks and had a lovely time! They were very kind and made me feel welcome.
During my stay I mostly worked on removing weeds from the plant beds and digging trenches around the greenhouses, as well as scraping paint off of old windows. If I had any questions, they were always there to answer them … read more

Kaja was with us for about 5 weeks. During these weeks she worked really hard. We had a lot of digging and weeding on the schedule and Kaja did it really carefully and well! She also had to remove paint on old windows and that was work she did incredibly well. Kaja is very thorough but not afraid to push herself! We wish her a really good luck … read more

Kaja was a really nice visitor in our family for about three weeks! She is a fun and interesting person but also hardworking. During her stay, she helped out with household work, with some indoor decoration, as well as with garden work. She also took care of a dog that we watched at the time. In a natural way, we came into discussing many … read more

I had a very nice time staying here for around three weeks. Tomas and his family were all very kind and there was always something interesting to talk about. I really enjoyed discussing the differences between our cultures and learning more about life in Sweden.
During my stay I helped with some cooking, cleaning and other household chores, as … read more

Kaja stayed with us for a little over 6 weeks. As she explained to us, it was her first real workawayer experience.

During her stay with us Kaja helped with domestic stuffs like cooking and grocery shopping, as well as more of renovation work we had planned. She helped us putting down new tile floor in the entrance and helped us with changing … read more

I stayed with Natalia and Ole for about seven weeks and had a great time.
They're both very lovely people who made me feel comfortable right from the start and always had interesting stories to tell. I really enjoyed having conversations with them, exploring the island or just spending time together.
The working hours were flexible, which was … read more
