Atividades em que tenho interesse:

Learning Norwegian now!
Other thing: nature, hiking, mountainbiking, board games, yoga, gardening

Descrição

I'm a 42-year old woman who likes to be with her family (husband and two teenage sons), to learn new things and to go outside into nature. My hobbies are a.o. walking, yoga, floatfit. I also like seeing my friends for a chat, mountainbiking in the hills nearby and playing board games. I find it important to live sustainably.

I'm looking for my first Workaway adventure in Norway. In 2023 we enjoyed our first holiday in Norway and in preparing for the holiday, I learned a little bit of Norwegian. After the vacation, I have continued learning the language, because I like it. My plans are to learn the Norwegian language better while staying with native speakers. I see workaway as an adventure, and I'm looking forward to this new experience.

Mais detalhes sobre meu interesse em idiomas
I'm interested in learning languages and I always like reading a book, leaflets or listen to podcasts in the language of the country I'm at during my holidays. For example France, Germany. I got interested in the Norwegian language when preparing for my first holiday in Norway (summer 2023). I'm currently in a classroom course Norwegian (A2/B1 level). During my workaway period I'd like to improve my Norwegian skills. If hosts are interested in Dutch, I'm willing to teach a bit about my mother tongue.

Quais são suas habilidades?

I was trained as a health scientist (specialisations environmental health and epidemiology) and worked as a researcher/scientist for about 9 years. Then I decided to change careers and follow my heart. I looked for a job in 'nature, environment and sustainability' and came to work in children's education about nature, environment and sustainability. I enjoy this job very much to date and I have grown into it during the past 7 years. Also, in this period, my children were growing up and I did a lot of nature-related activities with them as well. Currently I'm involved in maintaining an old park and a flowerfield in my neighbourhood, both as a volunteer.
Further, I like gardening in my own garden and know a bit about wild plants. Also I like cooking and I'm used to doing chores in my family home (ironing, laundry etc.). I can also paint. In my working life, I've leart many skills, o.a. teaching, formal writing, presenting, posting on social media for work, organising.

Algo mais...

I can be a social person and like hanging out with people, but I also like and need some time for myself. Further, as my family (husband and sons of 12 and 13 years old) will stay at home during my Workaway experience, I'd like to keep in touch with them.
