Description

Hi🪲

I’m Karo, 21 years old and a very sunny and bubbly soul from Finland who’s spent the last year in Aotearoa New Zealand traveling, volunteering and working🌱

I’m a positive spirit who enjoys hard work and good conversation. I love meeting new people and swapping stories, traveling has really opened up a new world of connections that I’m so grateful for.🌞

I’m deeply connected to nature and want to work outside conserving the land professionally in the future. In other words, I’m not afraid to get my hands dirty (literally). I’m also very creative and love an arts and crafts project🧿 Currently my hobbies include climbing, baking sour dough loafs and snowboarding🌬️

I’m looking forwards to being a helping hand and getting to know you as well, I hope we can make some lovely memories together🌟

More details about your skills

I'm very handy and I've been doing crafts since I was little. I've helped with some building projects and can work myself around basic tools. I'm keen to learn more about building and I like physical work. I like to take initiative and be of help while keeping things organized and staying effecient.

I'm also really good at cleaning, if I can say so myself xP

I love a good arts project and I like to use my creativity anywhere I can. I've done theater and I've directed and filmed a couple music videos.

Animals are very dear to me and I like to reserve any type of life on this planet as well as I can. I spent a month on an animal sanctuary last year and spent heaps of time with sheep, chickens, a rooster, ducks and cows. I've also taken care of numerous dogs(living with 6 at the moment) and have two cats back home in Finland. Animals are totally up my alley I'd say🌝

I'm good with plants and would love to expand my knowledge of them. I've learned a bit about gardening by now and I'm keen on learning more! I'm a very outdoorsy person.

I spent 4 unforgettable weeks at Sanctuary Under the Stars🌟 I got to know what it is like to care with your whole being and risk everything to save someone's life. It was a beautiful and a very teaching experience. All the kids were wonderful and I got to know pretty much everyone <3 George the rooster joined the sanctuary while I was staying and … read more he became a really good friend. I miss his loud persona🫶🏼 Andy and Dalina were welcoming and warm. It felt like I was staying at a friends' place.

I spent a lot of time doing different jobs with Andy during the mornings or afternoons. Andy was good at giving instructions and let me also solve some tasks on my own. On my stay I did a lot of waterpipes, finished building the shed, rolled and moved watertanks, of course fed the kids<3, did meds with the moo kids, did some fencing, moved solarpanels, built some garden beds and cleaned out the caravan. We also drove around with the quad bike every day.

I had a lot of time for myself as well and that's when I went on walks in the forest and discovered some beautiful trees! If your into tree climbing, there are hundreds of climbable trees on their property. I hanged out with the kids a lot and enjoyed the silence. It truly felt like a break from civilization and society.

The room i stayed in was cozy and the bed was really comfy! During my stay i pretty much just used the lawn as a toilet and George kept me company in the evenings when i went to visit him in his toilet house for number twos xD There was a warm outdoor shower and the kids were there to give u company <3 The nightsky was breathtakingly beatiful and i got to experience the brightest full moon ever. I saw two rainbows and shooting stars. I only left the property around 3 times. I would’ve had more chances but chose to stay there. If u don’t have ur own vehicle like me ur pretty much just going to hangout at the property and then do errands at the nearest city of Whangārei every now and then. Their property is very secluded and that is something u have to keep in mind before coming. I personally enjoyed this tons because I value my own time.

Their wifi worked nicely and I could enjoy my series and movies during rainy days :) Andy and Dalina provided all the food and Andy cooked the dinners most nights. I cooked a few times and was always helping with the dishes. Breakfast and lunch were self service and I finally got into PB&J sandwiches! I totally get the hype ;P

Thank you Andy and Dalina for having me and letting me experience ur life and sharing ur values and thoughts with me. I’ve learned countless things that I would not have learned anywhere else. My visit to your sanctuary has changed the way I look at life and other beings and has made me realize that most people are not even aware of the things that you guys wholeheartefly believe in. I’ve realized that the majority of people are ignorant because they lack the awareness and there is no one to challenge their beliefs. Thank you for sharing and teaching me ur beliefs, it has been life changing. The work your doing is truly inspiring. I miss life with you and the kids so much :’) Sending you all the love ❤️

I spent 4 wonderful weeks with Mandy, Pat, Tierra, the dogs and all the animals. This was my first workaway experience and I couldn't have picked better, it was like landing into a home and being welcomed with open arms. The whole family took me in as their own and it felt like I had a little sister for a month <3

Over four weeks I got to … read more
