Description

Hi!

I'm Silja, I work in health care but whenever possible, I want to travel and explore other countries and cultures.

I started my travels in Europe; in 2021 I travelled in Finland and later had a great workaway experience in Portugal. In 2022, I went on short trips to the Netherlands and Italy. Later that year, I had my first trip to Asia, where I spent a month in Thailand, three months in Japan, and three weeks in South Korea. In 2024, I spent 1,5 months in Thailand and Taiwan.

I grew up in a countryside so I've always worked in the house and garden, taking care of animals and plants. I'm more introverted so I can seem quiet or shy but I rather like having adventures and hearing other people's stories.

My best traits are reliability, tidiness, helpfulness.
My weakness is that I can be impatient.
