Description
Greetings to you
This is Jesse, a 27yo free spirited dude from Finland, currently working over the summer back home in a camping site reception until the end of September 2026
Ever since I quit my job in a hectic and tiring fast food restaurant in 2024 I've been travelling around Europe doing voluntary work here and there for over 2 years now.
I've taken care of horses, chickens and a small garden in the heartlands of Germany, hand fed pigs in an animal rescue shelter in Ireland, worked with inspiring teenagers in a boarding school in northern Denmark and supported migrants during their first steps towards their new lives in Portugal.
The first time I heard about Workaway was from a friend inside this cozy corner pub in Wien and ever since that I have been eager to travel and learn new skills and languages as well as meet interesting people from all parts of the world. This nomadic volunteer life has suited me really well and I find it constantly inspiring to make some positive impact during my travels rather than just being a regurlar tourist with a rush to see and do without understanding further.
So doing some summing up, 3 things that have forged my Workaway adventures so far would be:
#1. Finding and supporting some kind of a community🤝
#2. Lending a hand to this planet and it's inhabitants one way or another🌍
#3. Learning more about myself and from others. There is an overwhelming lack of empathy on this rock so working towards mutual bonding and understanding is really what we all need
As a person I'm very relaxed and diligent at the same time. I work hard and accordingly and if being part of a team I actively help others. The people that know me say that I sooth them down and spread my calming energy to others as well. I love reading stuff combined with a morning walk in the woods as well as writing my notebook and poems whenever I get a chance and some quiet time, Mother Nature being my biggest inspiration.
On the contrary I also really enjoy sticking both of my hands to the mud so to speak. Seeing the actual difference that I'm making and helping with my hands and feet actively. I happen to be 1,93 m tall so if there's something high on the shelves etc. I might be able to help with that.
I'm a nonsmoker and since starting to do sports regurlarly rarely drink any alcohol either. I prefer vegan/vegetarian food. Doing sports and exercising is a grounding lifestyle and mindset for me and something I would love to share with others as well during my travels. One of the best feelings in the world is the energy you feel in your body and mind after a good gym practice or a morning run in the woods.
Well there was something about me to start with.✌️
And now, if a life would be a crowded long distance train heading to unknown I would invite you to the restaurant car for a cup of tea and hear you out. Where are you coming from, is there a destination or are you perhaps still figuring it all out? I think we should definitely plan something together?
Looking forward to get in touch with you folks
Peace

My main interest at the moment lies in starting to learn Arabic. My passion towards Arabic language comes from the interest of getting to know middle-eastern culture and life in a more deeper and local level. In exchange I'm happy to teach Finnish to those who want learn -

Quelles sont vos compétences ?
I have a diverse mix of things I consider myself good at. Here's some of them:)...
1#I really enjoy talking and discussing with people, to show empathy and try to figure out things together. Many people have said to me that I bring with soothing and grounding energy wherever I go.
2#Cleaning up and setting things in order is fluent for me. I like keeping things tidy in my surroundings. I think it's part of that side in me that enjoys seeing the actual difference happening as I'm progressing with my work...
3#I like cooking in general, especially baking. Even better when doing cooking/baking food together. I think preparing food can be a great way to connect people from different backgrounds!
4#I´m pretty good with animals. In my childhood home we used to have a cat, some dogs and also chickens. I've also had a couple guinea pigs and due to our neighbors spent time around horses, sheep, cows and rabbits too. I love caring for animals and seeing how wonderful beings and individuals they are sharing the passion to live on this earth...
5#I enjoy working with words. So writing things down counts as one of my strengths as well. I'm into communication and journalism so all that relates to communicating with people interests me...
6#Topics related to sustainability and equality, human and animal rights endlessly interest me. Ready to work towards these themes anytime anywhere...
7#I have a passion towards sports and an active lifestyle. So up to physical work that practices strength and muscles. I solemnly believe that staying in good shape helps the mind and thoughts flow more passionately too...
8#As a person I'm calm, stable and reliable. I always want to do the work I attend to as well as I possibly can. Working towards some greater goal is inspiring and motivating for me. -
