  • Description

    Hello, hola, hej! My name is Petra

    I am a nature lover who would love to do some volunteer work on a permaculture/organic farm.

    After university I worked for a few years as a software developer, but due to burnout I had to take a break from my career to focus on healing. I have found that connection with nature, spirituality and art all have immense healing power. I have always loved writing and I am now writing my first novel, a depiction of a hopeful future set on a farm. I long to be in that kind of environment, in touch with nature, and I need some first-hand experience of permaculture/organic farming. For my writing as well as for my life as a human on this planet.

    I hike and go to the gym a lot, so I am fit to help with physical tasks. I have some experience growing vegetables (chili, tomatoes). I love traveling and have traveled a lot, both solo and with friends. I have previously lived in Mexico and in Spain, now I am living in my home country Sweden with my husband. I enjoy meeting new people, learning languages, reading and doing basically any outdoor activity, especially swimming (even in the winter!)

    Thank you for reading!
