Description

Hello there,
after twelve long years in school I am now looking forward to spending time closer to nature and working with my hands.
Traveling has always been fun for me. I have explored parts of the US, South East Asia and Europe with my family, including living in Boston for a year and in Singapore for six months. These times are some of my best childhood memories, and I would love to add new ones.
I usually live with my parents and my younger sister in Munich, Germany, but for the past three months I've been living and working on a small sheep farm on a tiny island in the northwest of Norway. Here I've had a wonderful time taking care of the animals and doing all kind of jobs, from chopping firewood to insulating and putting floorboards down in an attic.
In my spare time here I've also started studying for a Norwegian boating license exam, which I hope to pass in the next couple of months.
Other than that, I like physical exercise and enjoy sports like cycling, hiking, swimming, fitness training, wind and kite surfing.
I am an outgoing and friendly person and adapt easily to new surroundings and tasks.

More details about your skills

I'm used to working on a PC, so I can help you with most PC related questions, aside from coding, which I plan to learn a bit while I'm traveling. After 17 years with a smaller sister and an internship at a local kindergarten I think I'm somewhat prepared to look after smaller children from time to time:) Aside from that I'm quick and eager to learn new things.

What else ...

I would love to get the chance to discover more of the world on my own and become more independent along the way. My hope is to experience something completely different from the past 18 years of my live. The Scandinavian countries are a place I've always wanted to visit. For me, the idea of long, dark winters and untouched nature sounds fascinating. I've enjoyed hiking since I was around ten years old, with my grandpa taking me on hikes in the Schwarzwald and in the Alps. Hiking through a dark, snow covered forest would be a dream come true.
