My next destination:
Lofoten, Norway - from Aug 2024 until Sep 2024 View allDescription
My name is Annika, I am 27 years old and I am originally from Germany, but I have lived in Denmark for around 11 years now (and half a year in norway). I decided to move there on my own at a young age and fell in love with the country.
I am in my masters as a structural engineer. I have done some project leading on construction sites for 8 month within tunnel construction and building an Island in Copenhagen.
As a workawayer I have done:
- Iceland: horseback riding and stablework (sheep and horses)
- Faroe Islands: Renovating a house (renewing the primary structure, isolating, tearing down, etc.)
- Norway: Renovating a house (painting, installing floor, building cupboards, shelves, etc.)
Some of my other work experiences:
- Project leading on construction sites (Denmark)
- Receptionist on a camp site (Denmark)
- Riding instructor and leader of riding camps for children (Germany and Denmark)
- Kitesurf instructor on kitesurf camps (Denmark)
During the workaways doing renovation I have learned a lot new skills. I really enjoy the practical work and the creative process of finding good solutions. Of course there is still a lot i havent tried within renovating, but I am a quick learner and not afraid to ask.
Also I like to make different kind of drawings, which resulted in all of my surf boards being covered in them.
When I am not working I have a big passion for outdoor activities like kitesurfing, climbing, hiking, snowboarding...
Right now I am holding the title as danish champion in kitesurfing and enjoy going climbing in Sweden in windless periods.Interests

The work was cool and it was very flexible. We could fit our work schedule to the weather, so we had a lot of nice hikes and trips around the beautiful nature of the islands :)
