Description

I am a 26 year old male from the countryside in Denmark. I recently graduated from the University in Oslo with a degree in modern international history, but now I am looking for opportunities to live a life more in touch with nature.
At the same time, I am a person very interested in people and culture, and I like learning languages and coming to know other ways of life.
Therefore, I created this workaway account to satisfy this need.

I enjoy physical labor, if it is not too repetitive, and if it is meaningful. I have done quite a bit of physical labor in the past, and although I am no professional, I have done some DYI for friends and family, or in my jobs.

Motivation/happiness: Being with openminded and friendly people who are goodheartet. I hope to gather experience to start my own permafarm project some day in the future. I also enjoy artistic stuff, like reading/philosophizing and writing, and recently I picked op watercolor painting.

Plus de détails sur les langues qui m'intéressent
I could certainly teach English and Danish up to a very high level. Danish is my mothertounge, and I recently graduated from a master's program done in English, including writing a thesis in English. Thus, my vocabulary and grammatical knowledge in Danish and English is sufficient for teaching. My german comprehension is very good, but I do not speak it very fluently. I would be able to teach it at introductory level. This year, I have started learning French, but I am still at beginner's level. Learning languages is a pleasure, and I believe my own passion could be transferred into enthusiastic teaching. Combined with my past job experience as a teacher at different levels and ages, I am certain that I am able to fullfill the role of a teacher very well.

Quelles sont vos compétences ?

I am physically fit, and exercise regularly to stay strong.
In the past, I have been in the military, worked as stagehand, worked as a teacher, done a bit of construction, been a postman, and more. So i know quite well how to work hard, but effeciently, while having a good friendly tone and a nice atmosphere at the same time.

I also have a nerdy intellectual side. I can read and write academic English very well. My degree in modern international history has matured my opinions in several aspects. So, although I am a person with a clear idea of my own morals and preferences, I truly try to understand where people come from and I value other people's ideas and opinions. This is a valuably skill, as it enables me to make friends and work with almost anyone, even if there are big differences in background or personality. It could be called intercultural and interpersonal skills.

Autres infos...

Life is meant to me enjoyed - for me it can be with other people, board games, sports or swimming for pleasure. Outdoor activities are great!
Cooking with others is joyful everytime.
I strength train quite a bit, and I am very interested in how a healthy lifestyle in general can impact mood, motivation and overall cognition. I have practised meditation and philosophized with different methods over deeper/bigger questions.
I live to discover beautiful, meaningful and wonderous moments.
