Description
Hello, my name is Silje!

I’m a joyful, kind spirited and adventurous person from Norway, currently living in the town of Tønsberg. I love meeting and connecting with people from all over the world. Learning and sharing stories, knowledge and skills along the way.

Currently I am very keen to learn more about permaculture and organic farming, self sustainability and eco projects as I would love to apply valuable knowledge it to future projects. I have a vegetable patch in my garden where I grow lettuce, beetroots, peas, corn, carrots and lots more :) I'm happy to get my hands dirty with physical work task. Otherwise I also love being around children and I'm happy to cook, bake (I make very tasty cinnamon buns and I've just started to learn how to make sourdough bread) and I clean.

I love being in nature, this is where I find true peace and joy. During holidays and weekends I go camping or hiking in the mountains, or in the forest next-door. I can teach you yoga, and I'm passionate about movement and dance. I keep a daily mediation practice. I journal and write. Photography, knitting and crafting is also something that I enjoy doing. Or sing and learning to play the ukulele.

Looking forward to connecting with you! :)

Silje has been here for two weeks and the time togheter was great 🤗

Paul and Victor, where should I even begin? This feedback is long overdue, but better late than never, right?! I've been so lucky to have had the opportunity to stay on the farm, not only once but TWICE in the span of just 4 months! These guys really live life to the fullest; they are also the most loving, kind, and funny people. And they have… read more

Silje was an absolute delight to have. From the first minute we were enjoying great conversation and laughs. It was very easy to have her on the farm, only a positive experience... I loved how Silje would take initiative to clean something, or fill up the cat bowl, collect water to filter etc etc... she needed very little instruction to complete a… read more

This feedback is long overdue, but I still get a warm feeling in my heart when I think about my stay at the Eco Village. I only worked on the farm for one week in the month of February, but I learnt and experienced so much in this short amount of time. Raja was away so I spent most of the time with Gowda and his beautiful family. Gowda is such a… read more

I had an absolutely amazing time working and staying with Christy and Dj’s family. Their farm is a piece of paradise, and I got to experience some beautiful moments here. Christy and DJ are such kind and wonderful people, and I enjoyed spending time with them around the house; great conversations, eating dinner and making sauerkraut together. The… read more

Silje came to us last minute for one week. She fit in right away, a great worker who was able to stay focused and motivated and great company. She potted up seedlings, cleaned up our caravan, collected and processed our eggs each day, watered and weeded our veggie patch, cooked evening meals and tidied up and much more. She helped me get to bed… read more

I had such a wonderful first Workaway experience here, and staying with Garry was a absolute dream. Garry is a such beautiful and friendly person, very kind and thoughtful. He shared stories and showed me around the farm- packing and harvesting bananas was really fun. The property is magical, with beautiful nature and views all around. I really… read more

Workaway doesn't get much better than hosting Silje. Such a nice and open and friendly girl. She's about as easy going as it gets and is a pretty hard worker with lots of common sense and initiative too. Nothing is too much of a bother for her and she's appreciative of even the smallest things. A good conversationalist, a lovely smile, so nice to… read more
