Description

(I shared this account with my friend, Mia, but she is back in Norway now. Since our account is registreres on her - I cant change the name and date of birth in the profile)😅

My name is Emma Othilie Nicolaisen and I am from a small town located by the coast in Norway. I grew up in a family that have always loved travelling and exploring the outdoors. My favorite activity is hiking and I love to spend as much time as possible outside.
We have always had dogs and cats in our family, most often rescue annimal that we have taken in on their old age. For this reason I am used to living with pets, med would love to do work or live with animals.

I have served military service in Norway for 18 months. I worked with patrouling the Norwegian-Russian border. This period was challenging in a lot of ways, but it was first and foremost extremely giving. i learned a lot about independence and working in teams.

After the military, I moved to Barcelona for four months to begin learning spanish. After this, I hiked the pilgrimage "Santiago de Campostella" in the north of Spain - which was perfect for practicing my spanish! I walked it in one month, and I would love to experience a similar journey in the future!

After this, I moved to Costa Rica to study spanish and sustanability. I learned the importance of not just taking what we need from nature, but also caring for it as well. I am passonate about agriculture and sustainable living and would love to work and learn more about similar subjects.

After this semester, I volunteered at an orphanage in Costa Rica - which was the most special and giving time of my travels. I also traveled to Guatemala where I did my first workaway at an dog-rescue senter. Everyday was an adventure and filled with countless dogs to walk and play with!

I ended my trip to South-America with another semester of studying spanish and litterature in Argentina.

More details about your skills

We have experience in gardening, basic farming, and sustainable living, which we've learned through volunteering and living in places like Nepal and Costa Rica. We're both comfortable working outdoors and enjoy hands-on tasks like planting, animal care, and DIY projects. We’ve spent a lot of time around animals—especially dogs and cats—and Emma has volunteered at a dog rescue center, while Mia has experience with farm animals and pets (currently working at an animal shelter in Weligama, Sri Lanka).

Mia works in a kindergarten in Norway and has strong experience in childcare, organizing creative activities, and supporting young children’s learning. Emma has also volunteered at an orphanage and is comfortable caring for kids. We're both patient, responsible, and enjoy connecting with people from different backgrounds.
