Description
Hello! I am Jasper Khoo. Nice to meet you!

I am a student in France doing work-study program
(I am authorized to work in EU under the student visa).
I have six Workaway experience.
I can speak five languages, and I am learning Danish now.
I am open minded, patient, love to learn and exchange knowledge.
About myself, I love to learn different cultures, cuisines, reading and art. I like animals and interested in learning more about gardening and agriculture.
I am currently writing a novel call "Mark of Courage: The Great Distance".
I also made several paintings of the fjords in Faroe Islands between 2022 to 2023.
I graduated from Texas in USA in May 2018. Im doing my Master degree in France now.

Volunteer experience:
When I was volunteering in Australia in May 2019, I helped my host in cleaning the house, wiping the windows, help her to rearrange her art room. She brought me to the blue mountains, and I love spending time with her in watching movies and video clips.

In New Zealand, I once worked in a vegan farm ( I am not vegan, but just experiencing different perspective) , pulling out weeds, gardening. In another family in Christchurch, the host family brought me to their parents home, and to the mountains, it is very interesting to experience the local culture. Another host in Auckland gave me the opportunity to check out retiring lifestyle, joining local clubs, gathering, and we did a lot of talking. There, I have a chance to meet a Japanese friend who tells me about her world travelling experience.

In 2022, on Faroe Islands, the volunteering experience was extraordinary, I cooked her and her family dinner everyday. I cooked local fish soup, Middle Eastern food, burger, Asian cusine, and many more. The family drove and brought me to see all the breath-taking sceneries. I told the host I love painting and art, then she drove me to the town to get high quality paint, brush and canvas. After this trip, I am inspired to learn Danish, continue to paint, and started to write novel again.

I was staying in Barny’s place for two weeks in August 2023.

I asked Barny three times if there are other options to bath and clean myself instead of going to the public mixed sauna. So, the challenge was conquered, he showed me a traditional method inside the apartment with mugs and vessels (you stand inside a large vessel, use a mug to scope… read more tap water mixed with hot boiled water, with old towels and cloth lying underneath), and I made it. So, the bathing problem is solved on the second day.

When you come to Barny’s place, you need to have an open mind, a heart that is ready to accept many challenges. When you come to Christiania, you bring a heart to learn, not to change it. Fortunately, I conquered them as Barny is also helping me to look into the way, break my conservative and stereotypical mindset.

It is important to be honest with Barny, because most Danes will unfriend people who are not frank, and not trustworthy. He accepted my mistakes, and also has a big heart to solve misunderstanding quickly. When there are some needs or issues from me, he also tries his best to accommodate. For example, the bicycle seat is too high for me, without doubt, he gets the solution to lower it for me immediately. When my mouse for my computer is broken, and I thought that I have to throw it away, he provided me the tools for wielding, and screw driving, “resurrected” my mouse.

I helped in pulling out bad plants in his garden, taking his dogs out when he is unable to, cleaning and arranging things in the main hallway, picking up too good to go, watering the plants and helping with new technologies. Barny also help me to know his friends, and the Christiania community. Great way to meet new people and friends.

There are at least six recycling materials: hard plastic, soft plastic, metal, dirty plastic, glass, cardboard, paper, composition etc., so this must be the first thing to know on the first day. If you are dusting, he has masks and gloves, ask for it. Barny saves a lot of water, and I checked up that Denmark has the most expensive water bill in Europe, about 9 euros per meter cube if not mistaken, so please be aware of that. Bring earplugs, because Saturday night, there might be concerts 200 meters away from the building at the stage that play until late night. Eye covering for summer, because there is no curtains, or maybe someone will install one soon? Indoor sandals will be very helpful to move around inside the house.

Overall, the best thing about Barny is his life experience and advice. He shares lots of valuable knowledge and inspirational words.

Alex and Dijk's place was awesome. They shared about their experience in Holland and in France. They also brought me out to the beaches to look around. They explained to me about how the fisherman harvest the oysters. Dijk also purchased fresh oysters to eat together. I helped them in cleaning their rental homes by cleaning the windows, vacuuming,… read more

Met Jasper hebben we een eerste en goede workaway-ervaring opgedaan. Hij anticipeerde goed in ons huishouden, heeft meerdere keren lekker voor ons gekookt (en wij voor hem) en de taken die wij hem voorlegden, voerde hij goed en naar behoren uit. Taken waar fysieke inspanning aan te pas kwam, vond hij wel wat lastiger, maar dat gaf hij zelf ook… read more

The stay was excellent. I was given a nice introduction upon my arrival. The breakfast, lunch and dinner were French style and healthy. Anatole lent me a bike so that I can cycle around to visit to Chateau de Chenonceau. He also dropped me off and picked me up at Amboise so that I get a chance to visit the castles there. Both Anatole and Jing were… read more

I stayed here in July 2019. It was my first time in my life weeding in a farm, it takes me some days to get used to it and I never thought that weeding was so tiring (at least I decreased 7kg for my 3 weeks of stay including eating organic meals). After all, it was a great experience to stay at Lynore and Greg's place. It is fantastic to see the… read more

The good things staying here is that you can see the sunrise and sunset from Diana's balcony. You will have the chance to meet her friends with different backgrounds. She will bring you to a music club on a hill where only VIP members have the password. She also brought me to a club gathering and two religious places. During your off time, you can… read more

Jasper was a pleasure to have stay with us for the two weeks. He was great at the house chores and just did them without being asked. He was very clean and tidy. When asked to complete a task he did so without hesitation.
We enjoyed Jaspers knowledge and learning about his culture and travel experiences.
We wish you all the best with your future… read more

Staying two weeks with Michelle and Rory was awesome. The work was easy. One starts the day by vacuuming the house, put the plates and utensils back to the cupboards from the dishwasher, and then other gardening jobs or babysitting. As winter, I was also helping to stack firewood and put firewood into the fireplace. Michelle also brought me to… read more

Excellent experience with Maree. She introduced her friends to me, brought me to several tourist places. One of the most amazing trip was going to Yatte Yatta and Milton Cottage where we were able to watch Kangaroos. Maree is a woman full of life experience, and she loves to share them. Overall, I could said she is a fantastic host!
