Description
Hi I'm Jon.
I'm 27 years old (at the moment at least). I love meeting new people and enjoy a good talk, a deep conversation or just a brief funny chat.
I spend my days working as a coordinator in a municipal organisation, which creates courses for youth-workers to re-educate themselves. Apart from that I'm a volunteer project leader at a 'learning-café' in Aarhus, where I live.
In my spare time I like to walk around with my camera and take pictures for my walls (the apartment-ones as well as the instagram-one). I also play some music with my friends every other week (I'm not a musical genius, but I'm able to play some guitar and bass - and love the experience of playing with others).
I can be at my happiest when I'm hanging out with my friends, when I'm absorbed in the process of taking a photo, when I'm helping out some of the kids at the learning café, when I'm at a concert or if I spend a day with my family. Actually I can be at my happiest on all sorts of different times - a lot of different things bring joy to me. I feel like my happiness typically rest on my ability to be in a moment, with everything that entails, instead of being in a way, where I'm too fixated on past or future events.
I love learning new stuff and am pretty good at acquiring new skills in a short amount of time - so check out my skills and knowledges below, but know that I'm open to add things to that list :)Interests
