Description

Hi, my name is Lærke (or Laerke) :)
I am currently taking a gap year and planning to learn a little more about the world in the meantime.
Because I have quite a keen curiosity and want to learn as many things as humanly possible about how the world works, people live their lives and master every skill.

As a person i always try to be as positive and cheerful as possible, believing that your lifeview becomes your reality. Therefore I always try to be as empathetic and kind as possible. The Planet and nature in general means a lot to me since i am a very proud scout.

More details about my language interests
Languages is my big passion and is something that I want to study at university (Linguistics) in the future as well. I am currently fluent in both English and Danish - and would love to teach about them both is there is any interest in that. Other than that, I have received teachings in Mandarin, German, Spanish and Latin throughout school, although my level varies a lot. But I would absolutely love to learn any language of wherever i end up staying <3

More details about your skills

Last summer i finished the equivalent of high school with top grades, and i plan on starting university in september and studying Linguistics.

I have always worked alongside my schooling. Some of my previous jobs include working a few years behind the scenes at a WebShop and doing cleaning at my old scout group hut. At the moment i am working both in retail and as a waitress at a hotel and conference center. Therefore my skills include customer service, working long hours, managing a store/hotel alone, cleaning, table setting.
I am also a good cook and decent at driving.

My biggest hobby is that i am a scout. I love the outdoors and have always been really active in the outdoor community. For the last four years I have been a part of a team, that plans and executes leadership camps for young teenage scouts for a week in the fall. Therefore I have experience with both event/project planning and hosting, and I am really good at keeping calm, flexible and always having an overview in important situations.

I have also done a little volunteer work for GVI and Action Aid while i was at boarding school a few years ago.
This is because I worked with human rights and activism as my elective that year.
