Description

Hi there!
My name is Selma and I am an adventorous, curious, and happy 21-year-old girl from Denmark.
Right now, I am on my second sabbatcal. Last year I went to New Zealand for 6 months where I worked at a dairy farm during calving season, where I helped out with three kids (ages 3, 6, and 9), gardening, general maintenance, and of course the sweet calves.
This year I have mostly been working back home in Denmark at a kindergarten, but I am now getting a lot of travel jitters, so I am looking to leave for a journey through Europe starting January:)
I've found that working while travelling and exploring can give a better and more local indsight to a culture or a different way of living, which I love because travelling, for me, is about learning and gaining new knowlegde.
I also find that workaway is a great opportunity to meet new people and get to go to places I usually would'nt be able to.
I love to work with my body and my hands (nothing beats the tired feeling in the body after a hard days work) and I love to get challenged, fysically, mentally, or simply with new things I haven't tried yet.

Love, Selma

More details about your skills

I have had a lot of different expirences in different workfields and, have therefore collected loads of different skills.
While I was studying I worked as a florist/clerk for a year, a seasonal worker at a habour café over a summer, and a waitress for 2 years where I also did jobs as a runner, event waitressing (weddings, funerals, birthdays etc.), and occational manager of the waiting staff.
After I gratuated I went to New Zealand and worked as a seasonal worker at a dairy farm where I helped taking care of the new calves. Here I also helped with the kids in my host family and other odd jobs like gardening, cleaning, general house maintenance, etc.
This past year I have been working at a kindergarten with kids at ages from 1 to 6 years.

On my travels and journeys I have used workaway or other platforms and have, via them, gained new skills like gardening, basic housetasks, farming, substaineble living, and aggriculture.

What else ...

I am very adventurous and I love the outdorsy life and all it includes, like: hiking, swimming, scuba diving, surfing, etc.
However, I still love a good game of cards, reading, painting or going out for a drink.
