Description

Hei! I'm Eivor, 19 years old and from southern Germany! I'm looking to visit Norway and learn more about homesteading/farming/animal-caretaking!

I speak German, Hungarian and English fluently; I started learning Norwegian about 3 years ago but I definitely need more practice :)
Scandinavia and especially Norway are so fascinating and inviting to me, which is why I started my bachelors in Scandinavian Studies in Munich in October 2023.
Because of my degree, I love learning and linguistically dealing with languages, as well as literature of all kind. I myself am rather creative and have been drawing and writing since forever, I also enjoy other crafts like crocheting, knitting and knotting.
If I'm not reading or creating, my calling is outside on mountain and forest trails - hiking, going for a longer tour or just wandering around and observing nature is how I spend my days. I do archery when I have time and try riding horses whenever I have the chance to.

I have mainly worked with animals so far - first and foremost dogs (sled dogs, herding dogs, pets), but also cats, sheep, chicken and a little bit with cows and horses.
I enjoy work with them most as sometimes I understand animals better than humans ;)
Other than that, tasks in and around the house are no problem either, I'll gladly help in the garden or on a farm and hopefully learn a little more about plants/herbs and farm animals, especially sheep and horses.

While I am a rather quiet person, I listen to others even more and love hearing stories from them. Working in a group is no problem, I find peace while spending time in nature or with the animals :)

More details about your skills

I work very patiently (some would say a little slowly) but also very precisely; I believe this type of work-ethic is the best suited one when taking care of animals :)
Most of my experience is with animals and the work revolving around them (feeding, cleaning their homes, training/spending time, cuddling of course) but I also see myself doing more physical labour like painting, helping with repairs or even carpentering and crafting.
I'm always open to learn something new!

Age

What else ...

I watch and observe birds on a regular basis - corvids are my favourite; the city is greatly suited to observe and learn more about their behaviour and social structures!
Before studying literature, I wanted to become an ornithologist or veterinarian.

It might not seem like it but I don't mind cold weather; I prefer winter by far over summer :)
