About me

I'm social, well mannered loyal, honest and hard working person. I don't like doing things half done. I put down every last bit of it in all the things I do. I do it thoroughly and with care. I'm flexible and love to meet new people and explore new cultures and to see things with a different perspective.
As previously mentioned I studied Transport and Logistics which I'm an educated forklift and truck driver but also a basic understanding on how the vehicles work.
I'm very interested in languages, other cultures and history. I enjoy reading, doesn't matter what as long as it's interesting. I enjoy sports, football, basketball and volleyball in particular.
I spent 2,5year coaching kids in Volleyball and also played for the senior team myself. Other than playing volleyball in my spare time I enjoy wildlife and fishing.
Whenever I get the chance I do lecturing for teenagers about equal worth, humans rights and Anti-racism at my previous schools. Mixing my historical knowledge with personal experience of right wing extremism. Teaching children how to deal with racism and how to fight it. Not by force or violence but through education and compassion.
I'm tired of going to job, making my salary without making any bigger difference. There is so many problems and so much things that needs fixing and too few people to care about it. When I see problems I want to solve them, at least try my best to. I want to make a difference for someone else.
I want to help people in whatever way I can. Because when it all comes to counting I don't want to be on the side of the coin that have done nothing good except for my own benefits. I wanna do something that at the end of the day I can be proud of, something that makes me like I've made a difference. I'm tired of rolling my thumps and complaining about simple things when there are so many more important issues to be fixed. The least thing I can do is to do my share.

Preferred location

I primarly want to explore South America, get a sense of the actual culture and the people living there, other place that i have not selected works aswell. I want to go out and see the world, see as many different places and meet as many new people as possible.
And also make a difference, and the way to do that, mixing those goals together makes volunteering the perfect choice.
