I grew up at a small sheep farm in

South Greenland - Nuugaarsuk.

As a kid, I would read comic books

about people traveling the world

and I dreamed of doing the same one day.

Today, I live in Praiano

on the Amalfi Coast in Italy.

I work as a chef at

Il San Pietro di Positano

one of Italy’s most prestigious hotels.

Sometimes even famous people drop by for dinner.

I’ve lived in more than ten countries.

new people

new culture

new language

Every move means starting from scratch

It’s not always easy,

but it makes life exciting.

Learning from Italians, who value their traditional food

so deeply, is something I learn from every day.

Today, working in service has shaped my identity.

It has given me opportunities I could never

have imagined growing up in Greenland.

No matter where I go, I never forget

where I come from.

In my everyday life

I often listen to Greenlandic music

it reminds me of home

and keeps me connected to my roots.

And I also want to share what

I’ve learned with young chefs

in Greenland

to inspire them to see the wider

world and have the courage

to take the first step.

Working abroad doesn’t mean

leaving Greenland behind;

it’s about gaining experiences

that you can bring back home.

We should never be afraid to seek out new experiences.

The more we learn about the world

the prouder and stronger we become

in our own identity.

Because of the EU partnership, it’s possible

to live and work freely across borders.

EU and Greenland are creating opportunities together.
