Description

Hi, I'm Veera!

I am a 25-year-old Finnish software engineer. I love meeting new people, all types of creativity and outdoor activities so I thought Workaway could be a great way for me to explore new places. I am open to different types of volunteering, such as farm work, working with children and sustainability projects. The most important thing for me is to find a caring community and learn new skills along the way.

I am a smiley and optimistic person, who loves to stay active, try new things and experience different cultures. I have traveled around Europe with my family and friends and I love backpacking culture. I've solo travelled in Singapore, Bali, Japan and Taiwan, and I'm thrilled to get to travel to new countries!

I have done one workaway experience in Taiwan in 2024. I was an assistant teacher for english class in an elementary school and I loved it. I really hope to get more workaway experiences!

More details about your skills

I am competent in many different skills in farm and service work and I love learning new ones!

I have experience in farm work at my aunt's farm that has large hay fields, vegetable gardens and many different animals (goats, chicken, dogs, horses). I love working with and learning about animals and self-sufficient farming practices.

I also have broad experience in customer service. I have worked as a shift manager at a multi-functional gas station that provided fast food, lunch buffet, car rental and car wash services. I learned enormously on the job about good customer service, efficient multitasking and handling serious responsibilities, such as car rental agreements.

Teaching is also a big interest of mine. In Finland, I have taught little kids (2-8-year-olds) to ice skate and worked as a teaching assistant on many different university courses, as I am an IT engineer by education. My IT education has made me comfortable with working with new technologies and, for example, building websites from scratch.

And if this wasn't enough :) I love playing with different types of arts and crafts, such as painting, knitting and sewing, during my free time.
