Description

Hello! I'm a 25 year old Swede who lives in central Stockholm and studies creative writing. To me, the best things in life are people, culture, food, and beautiful places - and that's what I wish to add more of to my life through Workaway. I have my eyes set on Europe - maybe Italy, Germany, or Ireland - and hope to find a host that can host me for just a few days or up to a month. I would be happy to help around the house, hang out with and take care of any potential children, and/or take on new things (such as gardening) with the help of your instructions. I'm not super handy but I guess I could assist you with some projects, or for example, independently paint a fence. I would also be interested in exchanging Swedish or English with Italian! Since I don't have a driving license or a massive budget, I'm looking for a host that can be reached through public transport and maybe an additional walk, or if you'd be willing to pick me up at a nearby station. I think that's it for now, but I appreciate the importance of communication - especially if I am to stay in your home - so if there's anything you're wondering about; ask away. Hej så länge!

More details about my language interests
I've studied creative writing in English and I'm always interested in taking my English a step further - I think it's a rather wonderful language. No hate on Swedish, but English is a just significantly richer language. Lately I've also become interested in Italian, so I would love an opportunity to learn more and have someone be at least a little bit impressed when I drop a word or two 🥲

More details about your skills

I have experience of working in cafes and restaurants, and for about 4 years I worked as a swimming teacher for both children and adults. I worked with a public swimming school, so - in accordance with Swedish policies - the focus was on breast stroke, back stroke, safety, and feeling comfortable in the water.

For my next Workaway-experience I would like to do practical tasks such as tending to weeds, doing laundry, painting fences, and/or engaging with children. I don't have much experience of gardening but it's something I would like to learn more about - and I do have some knowledge of the Swedish flora which perhaps translates somewhat to other parts of Europe. I would also be interested in feeding chickens! And maybe hang out with some bees? I don't know! If you have something in mind that you think I could help you with, I'll give it a go.

Also! I would be interested in trying my hand at cooking. I don't have a proper kitchen at my place so I'm a little rusty cooking wise, but I used to cook quite a lot when I lived at home and every now and then I'll get excited about borrowing a friend's oven.
