Description

Hello there!
I’m a 21-year-old girl from Denmark currently traveling aeound Northern America. I’ve been on the road quite a bit now and have reached a point where I would like to get a bit more under the surface of the places I visit. I’ve realized I really enjoy slowing down and staying somewhere long enough to actually get a feeling of the everyday life and the routines there. I spend a lot of time outdoors whenever I can. I love nature, hiking, and especially being around animals. I’m very down to earth, easy to talk to, and enjoy conversations about everything from random everyday stuff to deeper topics. I like using my hands, I’m not afraid to take on new challenges, and I’m always happy to help out where it’s needed. Mostly I’m just a really curious and open person who enjoys meeting new people and being part of different little communities along the way.

More details about your skills

I’ve only had one Workaway experience so far, where I spent some time in Polynesia with a friend, but it gave me a really good taste of how the experience can be with the different types of work. I helped out with small renovations around the house - sanding, painting, and building simple furniture like coffee tables and bed frames - and I really liked working with my hands and seeing things come together. I also helped take care of animals and did a lot of garden work (I got surprisingly good at trimming banana palm trees!).
Back home, I worked for a year in a daycare, which taught me a lot in a completely different way. It made me more patient, flexible, and aware of how important it is to really listen and adapt to different situations. It also made me much more comfortable with just jumping into things and figuring them out as I go - which I think is a pretty useful skill in general.
I’ve always enjoyed helping out at home growing up, whether it was fixing something small or working in the garden, so I’m quite used to practical tasks. I have a basic understanding of tools, I’m not afraid to try new things, and I like learning by doing. I always love staying around the kitchen when my parents cooked and are therefore also very fond of experimenting in the kitchen with different cuisines and recipes. I enjoy keeping things tidy and organized and appreciate a nice, clean space. Overall, I’m just very curious, hands-on, and happy to help wherever I’m needed!

What else ...

I really enjoy the simple things in life. I like getting lost in a good book (fantasy is my favorite), listening to music and discovering new artists or old gems, or just spending time outside in nature. I feel at peace whenever I’m around animals, especially horses, or when I can go for a long walk or just relax under a tree and take it all in. I’m someone who enjoys my own company, but at the same time I genuinely love being around other people - hearing their stories, learning from them, and sharing moments together. I’m very go-with-the-flow by nature and easy to be around, and I enjoy talking about pretty much anything. And if you have something you’re passionate about, I’ll happily be your biggest hype person!

Jeff and I would describe Asta as a perfect match for our farm. We found each other on the last minute host list and I was excited after reading her profile, hoping she would say Yes! I picked her up in Kamloops as I was picking up another work away from the airport, so that was easy to sort out. There were no complications while we hosted Asta … read more

Dear Shan,
Thank you so much for giving me the experience of a lifetime. Staying at a farm like yours was a dream come true and one of the greatest opportunities I’ve ever had. I really miss waking up with all the animals and being outside only 10 minutes later, surrounded by the most serene surroundings. Taking Finn and Buster for a walk first … read more thing in the morning really wakes you up in the best way, and it’s something I really enjoyed doing.

My stay honestly felt like an overstimulation detox, and that was just incredible. I felt great satisfaction whenever I immersed myself in the daily tasks and just completely felt the outside world fade away. There were so many different things to do throughout the day, and there was always stuff to be done if you were creative. I even raised a kitten, experienced the absolute joy (and utmost chaos) of breeding Prussia, and also helped keep the rodent show at bay.

Experiencing other wonderful workawayers come and go did feel a little tough, but that’s honestly only because of how quickly we became a little family and got close in no time. Wouldn’t want to trade those girls for any others - it was truly amazing meeting you all <3

And Shannon, in some ways, you both became a second mother and a very dear friend. That first day you picked me up, I called my friend and told her how you were honestly the funniest person I’d ever met. I will remember all of our stupid laughs over everything and nothing, the silly nights where we probably should’ve been a little less hysterical, the many road trips with me low-key being the worst navigator ever (??), our shared love for (most) music, and your deep compassion and consideration, always being there for me and the girls when we needed someone to talk to. I truly felt a strong connection to you, Shannon (not in the annoying way they do in all the trash TV we watched), and I will never forget your hospitality and how you make a stranger feel at home in no time. I really admire your ability to be patient and open when so many people come in and out of your house all the time.

I also want to say thank you to Jeff for being equally thoughtful and always being so kind-hearted and amiable - man, that guy can cook anything and he’ll do it like a pro chef!

I’m so incredibly bummed that I couldn’t stay longer and didn’t get to see Prussia giving birth, but I’ll forever be grateful for this experience and for meeting you.
All my best to you, Asta<3
