Description

My name is Signe.
I'm a 23-year-old dane, eager to travel the world and experience different cultures, meet people and acquire new skills.

I feel at my best, when I stay active and social. I like to feel productive and fix things and complete practical and logistical chores. I also really enjoy having time to explore my surroundings and meet people. I love sharing a good talk with people over a delicious home cooked dinner.

I am very extroverted and love getting to know new people. I am curious and eager to learn about other people's lifestyles, foods, customs and traditions. I would love to be a part of your everyday life.

MY LAST YEAR:
January 2022 I moved to Iceland to live and work as a caretaker for a man with physical and mental disabilities. It was overall a great and also really challenging experience, moving to another country without knowing anyone, but slowly building a community of friends and a feeling of belonging. Iceland feels like my home now.



RIGHT NOW I AM TRAVELING WITH ME BOYFRIEND, ETHAN:
Ethan is 23 years old and from California, with Icelandic roots. We met in Iceland when he was visiting his grandparents for the summer and I was living and working there (for a year in 2023). Ethan loves the nature and hates being trapped in big noisy cities. Ethan has a bright mind and is ambitious for his future; he majored in computer science in 2020 but wants to break free from the corporate 9-5 work schedule that has influenced his first years after college and wants to do his own thing... last summer he quit his job, met me in Iceland and we went hiking the French Camino together. Now we plan to travel in the US and Europe together over the summer.
Ethan also LOVES food, complex math problems, spending time with his friends, watching good quality thrilling movies, staying active, going to the gym and recently he trained for a 50k trail run that unfortunately got cancelled last minute due to a storm. Ethan also enjoys and would love to get more into yoga and mindfulness.


MY INTERESTS:
I'm really into folklore and curious on different cultures and traditions. I am also really curious on slow and sustainable living and would love to learn some carpentry, wood-working and just some general know-how and practical knack. I dream of becoming economically independent and build my own tiny home... Would also love to explore farm life. I hate how absorbed I sometimes get in my smartphone; I feel my best when I am surrounded by people and busy DOING, then I forget completely about all digital distractions!

I overall enjoy good food, pop culture, art and music, memes on instagram, literature, classic movies, a good crime show and watching television and knitting in good company...
I am curious and would love to learn more about spirituality.


MY SKILLS:
Throughout my youth I have spent a great deal of time pursuing arts, music and "humanities" (as in school subjects)...
I sing, play the piano and clarinet, can draw pretty good portraits, paint and do some graphic design. I'm pretty good with a camera, filming and editing video (I have produced television programmes for a small local tv-station). I am fairly okay at overall tech and computers (at least I'm the one, my family goes to for help...not sure how much that says... xD).
Overall I'm a respectful (and some say) nice human being, good with keeping a conversation, taking my share of the work and being around kids. I also cook pretty well.

I am passionate about interior design, organizing and optimizing spaces and would LOVE to help with projects like that.




PREVIOUS JOB EXPERIENCE:
I care a lot about being a good worker and my work moral is high. I feel a big responsibility toward doing my very best in work situations. I ALWAYS take my share of the work load.

In most recent years I have worked as:
- a personal helper/assistant for people with disabilities
- a social media manager/content creator for a small start-up business
- a kindergarten teacher/assistent in a danish & Icelandic kindergarten and nursery,
- a substitute teacher at an international school
- a "television producer" at small local television station
- overall assistent and video editer at local theater
- babysitter, piano teacher, football coach, choir singer
