Description
Hello!
I am now back in Norway after travelling and volunteering in Portugal and Brazil this past year. I'll be staying at home for a little while, before I'll hopefully be able to get back out on the road, to continue volunteering and learning more about agriculture, different lifestyles, people and cultures.
I have previously lived in England, Sweden and France, travelled in quite a few places, and done HelpXing in Scotland and England, and Workaway in Portugal.
What motivates me is music and languages!
Some of my favourite things are:
-the ocean
-the sky (especially when it's pink/yellow/clear blue)
-interesting architecture (especially facades)
-dogs and dog owners who look like each other
-a funky/catchy bass line
-a full moon
I want to learn more about:
-new languages (especially Portuguese and Spanish)
-gardening (growing and harvesting fruits and vegetables)
-meditation, yoga and the like (I have some experience, but want to learn more)

Feedback
She was able to do all the gardening 'steps', helped guiding the new volunteers and was a very organized kitchen coordinator (which is not easy in a group of more then 10).
Recommended and will always be welcome in our project.
