Description

Hi,
I am a social worker from Germany (29 years old) and who studied in Oslo for one semester and fell in love with Norway while traveling. I am planning to take some unpaid Holidays for some weeks, where I would like to do something different than my work here and also improve my Norwegian.
Mostly looking for a place with animals (dogs would be amazing).
What makes me happy:
nature, being active outdoors, animals (especially dogs), gardening and working with my hands, swimming in every water I encounter, enjoying a cup of coffee with someone, accomplishing things, where I can see what I have done, social (and political) work/engagement, deep conversations and feeling connected to the people and the place around me.
What I struggle with:
I have decreased hearing ability - so conversation in loud environment takes a lot of energy from me. Besides that I need direct and honest communication, it makes me uncomfortable when I dont know what is going on with the people around me regarding to my job and behaviour.
