    My name is Emma and I study peace building and conflict management and educational sciences. I'm looking for a community I could join for around 6 months starting from January 2013, preferably in Asia, but I'm open to any suggestions really:)

    I will have some time off before I continue to my masters degree and would love to experience the communal style of living. I'm willing to contribute my working and helping out any way I can - I don't have a lot of money because I'm a student, so I would basically need a place where I could pay my living by working etc. I'm very handy and can do a lot of different things. I come from the countryside so I know how to garden, cook, take care of animals etc. I have worked in customer service so that would be fine too. I love singing and handicrafts, long conversations and loving people.

    I would appreciate any help or tips! Thank you and it is good to be a part of this community now.

    Peace<3 -Emma

    If you search around the forums, you will definitely find a lot of resources for communal living and everything else your little heart desires!

    Enjoy!

    If you promise to leave all the blood pudding in your nation. (only joking) You're more than welcome to join be in the quest to create a free love and spiritual healing community of artists.

    Thank you everyone for the warm welcomes!:) I did some research and have decided to go travelling around South-East Asia instead for a few months, but I'd love to hear about hippie communities in India, Nepal, Cambodia, Thailand, Sri Lanka, Laos and Indonesia.

    Once I move to Sweden for my masters studies after that, I'm going to try to find a communal living solution near Uppsala:)

    So thank you all very much for your welcomes, good vibrations and all<3

    Lindsay Elizabeth: There's no idiomatic way to say "make love not war" in Finnish and if I translate it it just sounds funny:) We tend to use the English frase... but in Finnish we say "rauhaa ja rakkautta" (peace and love) a lot:)

    So, rauhaa ja rakkautta to everyone!:)
