    And as you can see in my pictures i have a windbreaker I have made for hiking, I have made a pair of pants and a sweater when I was working with sustainable fashion in my education.

    And as you also can see I have uploaded some pictures of a couple of my tattoos. When I startet to study I also started to teach myself how to tattoo simultaneously because I was facinated by the craft. Then 1 year later i opened my own tattoo shop in Copenhagen with 4 other people. I worked over the whole summer with reboulding the whole shop so i know how to handle different tools! We took down walls and build our own and painted the whole shop, build a couch so i have som experince with crafting interior for a house/shop.
    Then we had the shop for 1 year and then i finished my studies and sold my part of the shop and took of to Berlin.
    I became to much for me working fulltime as a tattoo artist in the shop and doing my fulltime studies, so when i finished my studies I needed to get away and now i dont know if I ever want to come back! I want to find a place where i feel at home with a great community!

    I have done voluntary work both in Copenhagen and Berlin, I have recently joined a group to help save and fight for the environment, where we try to discuss and find possibilities/options for everybody to help take more care than we do now.


    You are always welcome to write me if you have questions or if you wants to meet up and travel together!

    Hope you have a beutiful day

  • More details about your skills

    I love to work with my hands! i have always been very creative, I have been doing art projects all my life, bulding stuff, but i want to get better and learn new skills!

    I love taking initiative, and trying new things! I don't just stand back I always try out new things with a smile.

    I don't have a lot of experience with working on a farm..yet, i'm really hoping to change that as I really want to have my own land at some point!

    I'm great at cooking food and i love that as well! I'm great at cheering and as a morale booster when i work with others!

    I have an education in sustainable fashion and love every aspect of trying to make the work more sustainable. And i hate fashion.. it's so horrible for the world and thats why i wanted to study sustainable fashion because i have always liked to sew but i wanted to change the fashion industry and the way we pollute everything with fashion.

    So i can fix all kinds of stuff if you have a sewing machine!

    I have experience with renovating and building a shop in Copenhagen! So I know how to use a variety of tools and know how to bould walls and mix cenment and all kinds of other stuff.

    I have also always been helping my dad in the garden so i know how to cut the lawn and take care of the flowers and get rid of the weed.

    And i'm exited to learn new skills and expand my knowledge with ect. wood, boulding houses, plumming, gardening and working with people and animals.
