Worked about four years in catering and logistics at events or exhibitions. Also worked two years in housekeeping in a big city hotel. I have some basic IT skills from my work in real estate.

As hobbyies I like to cook, taking care of animals or gardening. I would describe myself as a disciplined, quick learning, kind, yet introverted person.

It was a pleasure having Olaf come to stay with us. He was a great help and very pleasant company.
