Description
Hello! My name is Leo Kowalski, I am 26 years old originally from Stockholm, Sweden. I have a background studying music (violin) and am currently pursuing a master's degree in cognitive science. I'm easy-going and always open to new experiences!

I love to travel and meet new people to experience alternative lifestyles, drawing me to volunteering. I am especially fascinated by self-sustainability and permaculture and would love the opportunity to learn more about this, intending to have my own farm in the future.

Additionally I have a strong interest in mindfulness and continually learning more about myself and the world. I enjoy reading, listening to music, and spending time in nature. I am very fascinated by meditation/yoga and have a large interest in psychology and philosophy.

Quelles sont vos compétences ?
I have previously volunteered on eight farms and hostels/retreats (wwofing and workaway) so have a fair bit of experience when it comes to farm-work and maintenance. Among other things I have done a lot of gardening with tasks like planting, weeding, harvesting, water systems etc. I have also taken care of animals including chickens, ducks, goats and sheep. Additionally I have worked on several building projects, ranging from basic repair work and building minor structures to helping with renovation.

With my background in cognitive science I am fairly good with computers, and if I’m able to bring my violin I’m happy to share some music :) At the hostel/retreat I learned a lot about service and enjoy being with other people and working as part of a team. Being lucky enough to be born into a family of many languages I speak Swedish, Polish and English. I have learned a lot from volunteering and am always looking to learn new skills as well as sharing what I know!

We were very happy to have Leo stay with us. Conscientious, meticulous and hard working, he did an outstanding job with all the various projects we had for him: making and maintaining garden plots, constructing a wall, painting, as well as a host of smaller jobs.

Leo is very friendly and open and has a big heart. Right from the start, he melted… read more

I spent almost four weeks at Mariel and Dana’s place where I had a fantastic time. From the very beginning I felt welcome in their home, and was treated as part of the family. They were kind enough to include me on various trips around the area and bring me along on activities with family and friends.

The work amount is very fair (4 hours) and… read more

Leo was a good guest from start to finish. He’s cultured, an excellent violinist— please let him play for you— and very open to learn anything that comes his way. We had deep conversations, joked around, worked on projects, and explored some parts of Missouri.

By the end of his stay we felt like we made a new friend who is welcome back anytime… read more

I spent two weeks at the hostel which felt like two months worth of positive experiences! Bob and Carey, together with the rest of the staff, create a wonderful and cheerful atmosphere to work in. One learns the daily chores quite quickly and is then focused on the many people passing through the hostel, making each day unique with new… read more

Leo, one-of-a-kind Leo - you became a friend as much as a helper! Your tender heart, gentle personality and sweet smile is such a comfort to anyone around. Not to talk about the music - WOW, what a treat to get to listen to you play your violine! We feel spoiled to have had such high-quality music in our home. And then the "what's next" attitude.… read more

I stayed for two weeks at Eric's place and had a fantastic time.

It's been a lot of fun with Leo. He made us all laugh many times but also treated us with beautiful classical violin performances. He was very respectful and did all the work that needed to be done plus more. We had great conversations about all aspects of life. He's always welcome to come back again. To sum up the whole experience: NICE!
