Description

Hi! Nice to meet you and thanks for visiting my profile 🤗

I feel happiest when I’m out in nature and sharing life with good people. Right now I’m especially keen to take part on any eco/building/creative projects, events, outdoor work or house sitting — anywhere with a beautiful landscape. I love all kinds of nature, but mountains have a special place in my heart.

Recent years has opened my eyes a lot about life and the world we live in. Currently the life/society around me makes me feel kind of disconned with values that I hold in many ways. I believe life could be a beautiful adventure if you have other compassionate, free spirits around you and you're doing something meaninful. I'm still trying to figure out what that would exactly look like for me though, but I'm excited to find out.

I live in Finland, and I’d be free for workaway-ing from the 8th of May until early June. I’m pretty open about the destination still, and mostly just looking for a place/host that would feel like a good fit. 😊

I’d describe myself as responsible, open-minded, curious, and someone who really values the people around me and who can see the meaning behind things. I’m deeply grateful for all the connections I’ve made around the world — studying in Scotland, doing a university exchange in Australia, being an au pair in Spain, and traveling to different places — and I feel lucky for the friendships, conversations, and shared moments I’ve had along the way.

Right now I want to find somewhere where I can spend more time connecting with nature, and doing hands-on things — firing up the sauna, snow work, chopping firewood, gardening, building something… anything like that really. I hope to find some headspace to think about all the big questions of life while doing something useful.

One of the coolest experiences I’ve had was living in a remote Finnish Lapland cottage as a snowmobile guide. I spent a lot of time outside in -45°C, driving through the rough northern landscapes. When we were lucky and the Northern lights were strong, it was honestly the most magical thing I’ve ever seen.

I'm always exploring and learning about different types of alternative and holistic healing practices, and food is life! ✨

Looking forward to starting my workaway-journey!

ps. I believe in justice, equality, and treating everyone with respect. I hope to be part of spaces where fairness, kindness, and care for each other come first. Especially with everything happening in the world right now, being part of communities that share these values is of great value to me.

Quelles sont vos compétences ?

I have quite a mix of practical, creative and people-related skills, and I genuinely love getting involved in different kinds of projects and always learning new things.

One of my biggest passions in life is food — not just cooking, but everything that goes into it. I love cooking together or preparing meals for everyone, and I’m most comfortable with cooking vegetarian or vegan dishes. I can get really excited about organic produce, fermented foods, ancient grains, sourdough, fresh herbs etc.. That being said, I’m super flexible with eating; if there’s a chance to include these things I love it, and if not, that’s fine too. For me, food is medicine, and sharing it is one of the best ways to connect with people and different cultures.

I'm also a trained barista (although these skills might be a bit rusty at the moment).

I really enjoy all kinds of outdoor and hands on work, and don’t mind getting my hands dirty. I’ve worked a summer job as a gardener where I did things like weeding, planting, watering and harvesting. I’m familiar with general yard work like raking leaves and cutting grass. Chopping firewood or shoveling snow can also feel very meditative for me.

I’ve also helped with small building and maintenance projects, such as painting rooms, assembling furniture and assisting with building things like terraces. I’m comfortable using basic tools and although I’m not (at all) an experienced builder, I’m a very quick learner. This is also an area that I would be very keen on bettering myself at - so if you have any building projects that I could help at, I’m definitely in.

I also have experience working with children. I worked as an au pair in Spain where I helped take care of two kids (aged 8 and 13), helping with school routines, cooking, homework, activities and teaching English. This was such a great experience and still after many years they are like a second family to me. I’ve also worked in a kindergarten with children aged 4 to 6.

I do drone photography and filming. If you’d ever like photos or videos of your place, projects or surroundings, I’d be super happy to create something for you. I’m also currently very motivated to learn video editing. I have experience creating websites with WordPress/ Elementor, doing basic social media and designing things in Canva. Recently I’ve also started learning 3D modelling and animation with Blender which has been super interesting!

I studied Communication and Events for my bachelor’s and I've been lucky to get to be a part of some really cool events. I love the energy of organising, planning and bringing people together, so if there’s ever something like that happening I’d be very happy to be involved! Later I did my Master’s in International Relations at the University of Glasgow, where I focused on human rights. Any projects that have something to do with social justice, community, fairness or making the world a little better are always close to my heart.

Overall, I’m a proactive and adaptable person, and happy to bring my good energy to where I go.

Autres infos...

If you’re into making, fermenting, growing, experimenting any kind of natural DIY things like cosmetics, cleaning or food products, I’d be very excited to do some of that together! Add some vibey music like Ocean Alley in the background and we’re golden.

Thanks for reading what somehow turned into a bit of an essay and feel free to send me a message if you’d like to chat!

See you soon!
