Description
Hi, I'm Alexander! I'm a 20 years old, and I’m from Denmark. I’ve just started my gap year, and I’m now looking for Workaway-experiences around the world, in order to see and experience my destinations in a meaningful and deep way. I'm curious, open, outgoing, helpful and kind. I like cooking, reading, running, partying, and I've always been good in school. I love a good discussion and I love being challenged and enlightened by people with other views, knowledge, and values. As you can hear, I'm a man of many interests, which also makes it hard for me to decide what I want to spend the rest of my life doing! I'm hoping this gap-year will help me clear that up, as I hope to get countless first-hand experiences of new cultures, traditions, skills, values and what ever else might come my way.
I'm incredibly eager to have a ton of new experiences, learn a bunch of things, and meet all kinds of new people. I hope I'll get the chance to have the experiences your project offers and meet the people taking part in it!Interests

LanguagesMore details about your skills
I’m always curious and outgoing to everyone I meet, which means I am pretty much always able to get along very well with others! When I was younger I travelled to the US for a year on high school exchange, and have just finished an economics oriented high school in Denmark. I have also had a part time job on the side since I was 13 years old. I have always travelled a lot with my family, and I have also had several solo-traveling experiences. More recently I have have gotten more practical, social and travel experience by volunteering in an NGO in Ukraine, and at a permaculture farm in Italy.

What else ...
The most interesting thing for me is meeting and being influenced by other people. I find it very valuable whenever I can discuss something with someone different from myself.
More specifically, I really enjoy cooking and I always love learning about local food culture. I would really enjoy gaining some new cooking knowledge and experience, and perhaps even pass on some of the food from my own country!Some more information

Four days before our arrival, we found out that Ms Rani didn't have space for us in her house as planned. However she planned for us that we could join her friend's other workaway project in Malang, which we did, and which we actually had a great time… read more
Our work was really light (2x 1-2 hour shifts per day) and included taking care of cows, pigs, chickens, goats and some light gardening. We stayed there during the rainy season and therefore the English club was cancelled, which meant that we didn't teach any English… read more
