Descripción

I was born and raised in the countryside of a Fenno-Swedish area in western Finland, hence my native language is Swedish. I have since child enjoyed spending time in nature and stillness. I have been travelling and living nomadically for the major part of my adult life, as I feel it helps me grow and broaden my perspectives.

As a person I am calm, modest and easygoing. I enjoy (and occasionally/regularly need) to spend time alone with myself, but highly value meeting new people; getting to know different personalities, sharing thoughts and ideas and simply being together. Generally, I am a man of few words, but depending on the environment and circumstances, I can be very talkative and outgoing if the personal chemistry and mood is as such.

I would say my main drive in life is spiritually oriented and has lead me to develop an interest in meditation and related activities. I always aspire to keep an open and non-judgemental mind.

As long as I find myself in an enjoyable setting I am very easy to be with and little to no effort is required to keep me happy. I have a sense of humor and I like helping out!

Skills and traits (in terms of work):

- Flexibility and versatility; two keywords for my strengths.

- Physically fit with a lot of stamina.

- Handiness: I would say I am quite capable with handy work, DIY and similar. I have worked with various projects both professionally and as a volunteer; in construction, electrical work, woodwork etc. I really love crafts of various kinds, and had I settled down it is likely I would have opted to be a woodworker, instrument maker, potter etc. although I am not sure if I had been able to chose one of the many crafts that has and keeps inspire me.

- Writing: I can express my self well through writing and capable of writing various types of texts. I am happy to help out with content writing, social media, product information etc.

- Meditation: I have been interested in meditation and related practices for most of my adult life. Apart from more informal meditation and smaller retreats of various spiritual branches and traditions, I have done long term (up to 60+ days) strict silent meditation retreats in Myanmar and Thailand and spent some time in monasteries. I am willing to share thoughts, teach and guide anyone interested.

- Tai Chi & Qigong: I spent eight months in the Wudang mountains of China practicing and learning Tai Chi and Qigong on daily basis and is something that I would be happy to teach and share my knowledge of.

- Cooking: I cook my own meals as often as possible and have an interest in cooking.

In a group setting I'm glad to help out with preparing meals, but I can sometimes find it mentally demanding and somewhat stressful to plan and prepare meals on my own to the expectations of groups of people and is not something of my preference.

- Creativity & Art: I have a creative mind and I also I hold many artistic traits. At large, have not spent much time nor effort to develop any visual artistic skills. Nevertheless, working with art is a pleasure and doing such work as a volunteer would be a great opportunity.

- Musical: I have musical traits and love playing and learning instruments. I lack knowledge in musical theory but have a good ear. I have an interest particularly in ethnic music and instruments and have gathered and practiced
many instruments throughout the years, namely flutes.

- Customer service: I have work experience of customer service both in person and e-mail/chat/phone. Due to my patience and emotional understanding, dealing with people concerns and helping them works quite naturally for me.

- Gardening: I have had many opportunities working with gardening, mainly general tasks, but it is work I enjoy a lot due to it being outdoors, physical at times and the joy and process itself of producing healthy food. I can't say I have any expertise per se, but I was growing up with a mother invested in gardening and learning much throughout the years of volunteering.

- Agriculture and farming: I have some experience from both small and big scale agricultural work.

- Computer skills: I spent a large amount of time in front of the computer, especially in my teens, and am therefor very experienced with computers.

- The will and ability to learn!

  Dieta especial
  Generally, I appreciate a sense of awareness in providing food that is healthy and nutritious (varied and sufficient sources of proteins etc.), especially if I plan to stay long term. Other than that, I am not picky and can adapt to most dietary habits.
