NATHAN About me
My name is Nathan and I live in Pickering, a small town near the North Yorkshire moors. I have an active social life mixing with friends and family.
The project
IN SWEDEN The project
Motivation motivation I was interested in this project as I have always wanted to visit Sweden.
I also thought it would be a good opportunity to build my confidence, travelling and working in another country.
Free Time
I enjoyed making my Sami knife, and constructing benches with the rest of the lads.
The Ideum project was great. A real laid back atmosphere, run by a supportive and friendly team, including Swedish, English and German members.
Accommodation
I spent my free time enjoying the different scenery, I really enjoyed hanging around the lakes, watching the sun sets and making use of the many huts.
The accommodation was perfect. It was centrally located, easy access to the local town, shops, Ideum and only a cycle ride away to the many lakes, and country side.
What did I learn professionally?
What did I learn personally?
I learnt how to work as a team. When constructing the benches we all worked together, supporting each other especially when using the machines.
I think my confidence has grown. Being away from home, even just for two weeks, having to manage a budget and be independent.
