I love animals and have taken care of them and spent time with them since I was little. I helped take care of the animals (horses, rabbits, ducks) at a youth camp in primary school and then continued with the horseback riding hobby🐴.

My hobbies include hiking, collecting and pressing flowers, helping my parents renovate the weekend house.

I finished Medical school in Ljubljana (July, 2024) and I am taking the gap year to travel, get a gliders license ✈️ and volunteer to decide between my top specialisation choices 🩺.

After having spent a truly beautiful month of August 2024 in Sorø, I had a very tough time saying goodbye to the peaceful nature, stimulating work environment and especially all the kind people I met and worked with. What I appreciated the most were Christina's and Sven's kindness, thoughtfulness and humour. With workawayers Luca and Victor I… read more shared many laughs, conversations and daytrips. With all these great people around me I was always happy to start my day.

The family accepted me and my dog Kasper with open arms. They were interested in sharing languages, speaking about our cultures and passions. They told me about how their café started and how extremely proud they feel of their children - I was lucky enough to attend one of their concerts at the café, for that experience I am grateful to had been a part of. Together with other workawayers we all enjoyed many laughs and a lot of pancakes too. Sven, Christina and their children helped us with ideas for daytrips and made sure we felt at home.

The work included helping with chores around the house and with taking care of the garden. I never felt bored because every day was a little different, we always had clear instruction. I felt it is very important to the whole family to communicate as a team. I always had support from Sven and Christina and they were happy to help with any questions.

With the workawayers we stayed in a separate house next to the host's, with our own cosy rooms, two bathrooms and showers, so there was never any hurry while we got ready. Christina invited us each morning to have fresh bread and we had a big kitchen available to prepare our meals. It was also an amazing oportunity to learn about dishes from other countries and we bonded over cooking and sharing meals.

On our days of we would visit danish cities, the train station is around 10min walk away and it is very easy to travel with the train, they run very frequently and on time. There is Netto on the way as well and a lake to swim near by.

While exploring Denmark, we loved how clean the country is, with all its beautiful parks and lakes. I recommend Odense, Roskilde, Aalborg and Aarhus! Danish people are extremely polite and kind and they will go out of their way to help you.

I thank Christina, Sven, Silke, Viola, Karla, Sillas, Eis, Victor and Luca for this amazing experience. This trip has become one of my favorite memories and I hope we meet again in the future!
Tusind tak!!
