  Beschreibung

  We are an Icelandic family living on the beautiful island of Als in southern Denmark. Our family consists of Ragnar (49), Alla (44), our energetic 9-year-old daughter Jóhanna, and our sweet 2-year-old dog Rotti. We moved from Iceland to Denmark about two years ago and are slowly building a quieter and more balanced life here.
  
  Life has changed a lot for us since our last Workaway profile update back in 2018. Both of us are currently recovering from long periods of emotional burnout and mental exhaustion, and because of that, we are both away from work at the moment. Our energy levels can vary quite a lot from day to day, so calmness, understanding, and flexibility are very important in our home.
  
  We are warm, thoughtful and fairly quiet people. We love travelling, experiencing new cultures, and spending time in nature. At the same time, we are also very home-oriented people who enjoy cozy evenings, watching a movie or series together, and keeping life simple and peaceful.
  
  Our daughter Jóhanna is full of energy and curiosity. She loves being silly, playing outside, going to playgrounds, paddleboarding, doing creative activities, and exploring the world around her. Like many children today, she is also very drawn to screens and phones, and we are trying to create a healthier balance with more real-life activities, play, and connection.
  
  Rotti, our dog, is a mixed breed with a very gentle and loving personality. He absolutely loves being outdoors, going for walks, and playing. In between adventures, his favourite thing in the world is cuddling up next to someone on the sofa. He is, however, quite anxious around strangers and other dogs, so patience and calm energy are important with him.
  
  As a family, we are all somewhat shy and deal with anxiety in different ways. Because of this, we are looking for a Workawayer who is kind, emotionally mature, non-judgmental, and able to respect both quiet days and more active days.
  
  What we need most is someone who would enjoy spending meaningful time with Jóhanna — playing, going outside, being creative, and helping reduce screen time naturally through fun and connection. It would also mean a lot to us to occasionally have the possibility to go out together as a couple while someone stays with her.
  
  Some days we may have more energy and do activities together, while other days things may be quieter and simpler — maybe just walking Rotti or spending a calm evening at home. Because of this, flexibility is very important for us.
  
  We are looking for someone who is:
  
  * Independent and responsible
  * Non-smoker
  * Calm and emotionally understanding
  * Comfortable around anxiety and mental health challenges
  * Flexible and easygoing
  * Interested in simple family life rather than constant activity
  
  In return, we offer a peaceful home, honesty, warmth, cultural exchange, and the chance to experience everyday life on a Danish island with an Icelandic family that truly values kindness and human connection.

  Kultureller Austausch und Lernmöglichkeiten

  As a Workawayer with us, you will experience everyday life with an Icelandic family living on the Danish island of Als. We enjoy sharing stories, culture, travel experiences, nature, simple family life, and honest conversations about life and personal growth. We hope to create a calm and welcoming environment where everyone feels safe, respected, and included — more like a temporary family member than just a helper.

  Arbeit

  We are mainly looking for a kind, flexible, independent and emotionally mature person who enjoys spending time with children and understands that some days in our home are quieter than others. The most important help for us is giving our daughter companionship, play, and outdoor activities and helping us create more balance and calm in everyday life. Small practical things like walking our dog or helping out lightly around the home are also appreciated.

  Was noch ...

  We live in a quiet and beautiful area on the island of Als, close to nature, beaches, forests, and small Danish towns. There are good opportunities for walking, cycling, paddleboarding, relaxing by the sea, and exploring southern Denmark. Public transport is available, and we are happy to help Workawayers discover local places and attractions when our energy allows.
  
  Our home is probably best suited for someone who enjoys a slower pace of life, nature, cozy evenings, and meaningful human connection rather than busy city life and constant activity.

  Rotti (2 Jahren)

  Rotti is a sweet and sensitive mixed-breed dog who loves nature, walks, and playing outside. Once he feels safe around someone, he becomes very affectionate and happiest when curled up next to a human for cuddles and naps. He can be nervous around strangers and other dogs at first, so he needs calm energy, patience, and gentle handling.
