Description
Hi! I’m Cecilie 🇩🇰

3 years ago I quit my office job and decided to swap screens and meetings for something more physical and meaningful (turns out that includes stubborn sheep, mountains of manure, and the smell of fish). Since then, I’ve been doing Workaway and seasonal jobs, mostly in farming and maritime work

I’m drawn to rural, quiet places, physical work, good company, and time to reflect. I like tasks that make a difference in everyday life, whether big or small - from fixing and lifting to simply helping things run a little smoother

My contract in Lofoten has just finished, after a season of lambing in spring and cattle and calves in summer. Now planning for my next adventures

What else ...
I’m into cold winter dips, heavy lifts at the gym, live music, a good book, and a fast bike. I enjoy quiet evenings by a fire, and would love to spend more time fishing and hunting. I hope to buy my own simple cabin in the mountains and renovate it someday.
I appreciate nature and how it shows its colours in all of the seasons (I do like the snow a lot though). Being close to the ocean or mountains is where I feel most at home

After spending three years doing Workaways in the north, I decided it was time to experience life in the mountains of the south. Because of my deep fascination with the north, I must admit my expectations for the south of France were set a little low.

But this place can change even a stubborn Dane. I felt enormously privileged to experience the… read more

When reading many reviews of Workawayers, I feel truly blessed by virtually all of the people I've had here, but after the last two who have come, I'm wondering if, for comparison, I might have to start leaving some four-star reviews. Cecilie (and Milan, see previous review) are hands-down, two of the most wonderful humans to ever grace our home… read more

I helped Arne Petter with his house renovation project for about two months in the spring. Arne Petter takes a lot of interest in the project, even though he is ill, he is eager to teach you as much as possible, and has the energy to explain the tasks in a proper way, so you know what to do. He is very easy to live with and talk to, and I enjoyed… read more

Cecilie helped me to with renovating my house. She was eager to help from day one, and was not afraid to try new stuff. At my renovation project she helped me cast the concrete floor on the bathroom, level a huge 50 m2 Livingroom with leveling compound, mounted heating foil and mounted a laminate floor and a lot of other stuff.

She also helped… read more

I stayed at Anders and June’s farm from the Spring of 2022 and for almost a year. I was only supposed to stay there for a month, but this family kinda just makes you not want to leave (so be careful).
I’ve helped with all the routines with the horses, sheep and cats, and got to see all seasons of the year and the assignments that follows at a… read more
