Description

Hello there! Thank you for checking out my profile. Hope you find something interesting.

Who, what and why?:
----------------------------------------
I am Silas, a 25 year old soul, looking for untraditionally ways of educating myself. I am a seeker by heart. And what I am seeking right now is to continue my chapter of exploring life. I want to educate myself by being open for life and meet people and communities around Europe. I already gained so much by this and hope to continue to be amazed about people and places on my way. I am searching for someone to show me their way of life, to share moments with and to work together with. I stand up for myself and my boundaries, but also a good listener. I thrive in a active lifestyle and love to play sports with whomever. I have a natural way with kids and love to form meaningful relationships. Permaculture and growing my own food is something I am particular interested in. My main reason for travelling is because my daily and comfortable life in Denmark grew to be more and more meaningless to me. And I therefore seek to live a different life, where nature is a lot closer and I can get new perspectives on how to live a good life. I hope to gain experience, ideas and relationship that will make me richer, as I explore life. So pull out all your knowledge, because here I come!

Also I am currently looking for family stays with my lifepartner and her daughter (2,5 yrs) to explore europe together with whom I share life

Interests I already have:
★ Football/Sports - I love football and have been a Chelsea F.C. fan for 14 years. I still play reguarly every week, which I enjoy. American football, Dart, Cycling, E-sport is also something I find a lot of interest in.
★ Being a vegan - Sharing ideas, habits and exploring what, when and how to eat.
★Hiking/Cycling - A good walk, a hike to Germany or cycling to Norway you name it. I am on.
★Practicing being more presence in my own body and mind and for others.


Interests, which I would like to explore:
★ Selfsufficiency - In generel I would love to learn different branches from a beginner level
╰┈➤ In particular gardening and growing my own food. Maybe grow some mushrooms or plant seed and harvest vegetables, even making beds for gardening would be great.
★ Meditation/spirituality - I have always been fascinated by monks and their ways of meditating, and used to be good at finding my own calmness in the busy weekdays, but somehow I lost some of it as time went on. So this is definitely a thing I would like to improve on. Also I enjoy winter bathing and sauna.
★ Alternative lifestyle/community life - I always had huge expectations for myself and my future. Recently I came to realize how far away I was from my ideas. So I would enjoy getting to learn, how to live closer to nature and live closer with people, even more than I have already done.
★ How to make homemade food from scratch - In particular making bread and growing mushrooms is something which I find intriguing.

A little more about me:
----------------------------------------
╰┈➤ I have been on four different workaway stays, which has been a revolution for my life and how to travel and live. One in italy and three in Germany.
╰┈➤ I was born in California, but have lived in Denmark the most of my life.
╰┈➤ I have walked from Aarhus to Flensborg and before that I cycled from Aalborg to Oslo with a friend.
╰┈➤ Voluntarily took my military duty in the danish army, which I will never forget.
╰┈➤ Studied two years of philosophy in university, where I learned so much!
╰┈➤ I have been eating a vegan diet since 2020, which really opened my eyes for all the wonderful food we have but rarely use.
╰┈➤ I can be very observing at first, when meeting new people and settings. But as I get to know you more, you will quickly become someone I care about and want to be a reliable person for.
╰┈➤ Worked with childcare previously for about 2,5+ years, in a kindergarten, school and special needs school
╰┈➤ I would love to try any kind of spiritual work and I am very inspired by the Shaolin monks.

╰┈➤ I am strong and fit and like to do hard work.

More details about your skills

I can speak fluent Danish and English and have studied Spanish and German in school. I have been in a exchange program through my gymnasium in Madrid, where I used some of my school-learned Spanish.

In terms of skills I think that I always have had a good way of communicating and playing with kids. I like to learn, challenge and observe them in a safe and relaxed way, which is why I have educated myself as a Football coach and that my last two jobs were in a school.

A natural skill of mine is to solve problems through logical and cooperative thinking and I want to believe I can face every challenge with a smile on :))

Not afraid to try new things especially construction or gardening. As I really wanna explore my own capabilities in these areas and hopefully get inspired to do it on my own.

I currently don't have a driver license, but I can come a long way with a bike, on foot or by train.

Age

25

What else ...

My biggest wish is to find a role model, teacher, or mentor, what ever you wanna call it, to get inspired from and learn their ways during my workaway experiences! If so I would be over the moon if I could stay for longer.
