Description

Hello, my name is Jens I am an adventurous young man from Copenhagen, Denmark.
In October I will be traveling to Piemonte in Italy, and start my journey across Italy, Spain, and France for the next 9 months.

This is my first ever solo travel, so I am of course very excited.
For the past 6 years, I’ve been employed at different ships both ships from the navy and civilian rescue ships, primarily sailing the North Atlantic Ocean and the Baltic Sea.

For the past years, I’ve had a growing desire to explore and experience other ways of life, and that’s why this summer I decided to take a break from my studies as a marine engineer.

I’m interested and eager to learn about farming, winemaking, and working with animals. In general, I'm very excited to meet people different from myself, and hopefully to be inspired by lifestyles that differ from what I´m used to.
I´m not an experienced farmhand, gardener, or pet sitter but I am very eager and quick to learn 😊.
As a sailor I have faced various of different tasks, both maintenance work and operational rescue operations. I´ve had a wide range of maintenance tasks regarding metal work, smaller electrical work, and mechanical maintenance.
