Description

Hei,
I am 38 years old and come from the very north of Germany. Right now I have some month off from work (as a sabbatical) and I am spending part of this time in Norway, as I am lucky enough to have a hut up in the mountains close to Jotunheimen.
Back at home I work with young people that do volunteer service in a variety of cultural institutions, such as theaters or museums.
I spend as much time as possible in the outdoors, I kayak a lot as well as hiking and skiing in winter. I have done quite some trips and tours in the untouched wilderness of Scandinavia and Canada and one of my biggest adventures was walking Norge på langs in 2019. I also worked as a professional outdoor trainer and guide for some years, mostly in a school project in south Norway.
I would call myself a pretty easy going person, I like to be around people, but can also enjoy being alone every now and then.
I don't mind to get my hands dirty and probably fit better at a campfire than in a formal dinner (whereas I definitely enjoy good food).
I love to be around animals and have quite some experience with dogs and horses.

More details about your skills

Friends would define me as very organized and well planned. I am highly motivated and have a high sense of responsibility. I am energetic and physically fit. I don't mind hard work and am quite skilled when it comes to doing something with my hands. I don't have any specific skills that I can think of right now, even though I guess there are quite some.
