My next destination:
Norway - from Jan 2024 until Aug 2024 View allDescription
I am looking for new experiences and impressions, seeing different approaches to life in the bigger picture and small, specific things, detailed and minute, maybe seemingly meaningless at first.
I am interested in connections and forming bonds, in understanding people and am always glad to hear their stories, perspectives, reflections and outlooks on life.
Other than that, I think, I am also doing this to get a break from the life I have been living so far, rethinking my relation to both nature and society.
I started working and travelling last September and began with three months in Czechia. Since the beginning of the year I have been in Scandinavia and now I am travelling Norway and looking forward to starting the organic farming course at Fosen Folkehøgskole in August. Until then, I am trying to get to know the country and language a little.Interests

Helping with Computers/ InternetLife at a FarmstayDIY and building projectsTeachingAnimal CareHospitality/TourismMore details about your skills
I know how to handle most tools, ranging from screwdriver over various kinds of saws to tractors.
I excel at maths, science, and computer science, am a good teacher, and enjoy solving/attempting to solve complex problems.
I think I am generally on good footing with animals and work well for and with them, though it is hard to definitively know my standing with them.
I am good at organizing and happy to help with cooking
Once I have been instructed on how to do a task and its purpose, I can work well independently, as I am a quick learner.
Additionally, I am good at adapting to new situations or changing circumstances. To that end, (I like to believe) I am good at thinking outside the box and always try to find different ways of going about things to choose the one I like best. Overall, I like to give my own input and bounce ideas around just to see what can come of it.
I am keen to do all kinds of skilled work; carpentry and woodwork have won a special place in my heart, but I am happy to try my hand at anything new, whether it is plumbing, sewing, or smithing, doing something with electricity and mechanics or learning to cook local cuisine.Age

What else ...
So you can get a better idea of who I am, here are a few notes on myself by myself (so dont trust this list too much)
- I love nature, so if you know anything about the plants and animals around, the landscape, bits of related history, or even regional weather, please share your knowledge with me
- I like to run, bike, or swim to work out, but would love to improve at slack lining and climbing or learn how to kite surf (all of which I have 0 experience in)
- I love reading; mostly political books (on climate change, capitalism, feminism), old classics (Tom Sawyer, Moby Dick, the like), or fantasy and sci-fi (LOTR, The never ending story, Ancillary Justice), but am always open for recommendations in any genre (though my reading list is already long enough as is)
- My favourite TV-series is Avatar: The last airbender
- I like to go for walks, both to relax and turn down my thoughts a little and to learn about the surroundings and the environment I am in
- I listen to a fair amount of music, across many different genres and am always open to hear some new stuff
- I love the rain and my favourite activity is getting lost in the woodsSome more information

thank you for letting me stay with you at such short notice, and for being so flexible and accommodating my fluctuating plans. Thank you for the meals (and cakes), the knowledge, and the time and most of all your kindness.
Luc and Laura are smart, interesting, and compassionate. I stayed at their place for a week and a half… read more
