Description
I am a 47 year young man from Norway. I have previously been living in 5 different countries on 3 continents and love to meet new people.
I am very into personal development and spiritual science. Being a workshop leader, coach, therapist and healer.
I am de-bugging and reprogramming my mind and creating freedom in my life for also being an opportunist. I am also into innovation, circular economy, resource saving, plus having very good technical and practical insights as well.
Other things I do is yoga, meditation, training, singing, playing guitar, catamaran sailing (hobiecat) and mountain hiking.

Help
Help needed :-)
Skilled handyman/handywoman needed. Carpenter needed. I am open to have one or more workawayers staying at the same time. I have a lot of tools, a big workshop outside of the penthouse and a big van and trailer for projects. There are several projects of different sizes, so that the work can be adjusted to fit what you are comfortable with, in the time frame that fits you.
I am hiring local tradesman to do the majority of the work.
Skills needed for practical projects:
Skilled/experienced handyman.
Skills for all work needs:
You will need to be independent, proactive and reliable. You will need to be the type of person that always comes to me with solutions and not with problems. You will need to be mindful of the details and the whole picture when you are working on a project. (Please be honest and realistic about your skills here, since I already had one bad experience with a Workawayer who claimed to have skills and abilities he unfortunately did not possess. (Hence the negative review) It is better to have realistic expectations and choose the best fitting projects from that)
If you are the right person you will get:
- Food and accommodation
- Personal development.
- Freedom to help when and on what days you want.
- Access to bicycle, two kayaks and a Hobiecat 18 sailing catamaran
- If you put in a little extra work it will give you access parttime to my car/campervan and other bonuses.

Still, I hardly got to meet him, due to the sudden illness of his grandmother, so unfortunately he immediately had to return to Switzerland.
I really would have liked for him to continue his stay, but these things happens sometimes.
A lot of hard work but I still had enough time off to go explore as I wanted to. I helped with cleaning, priming, painting, and even learned how to build scaffolding ! I had no prior experience in any work besides cleaning but I had other Workawayers teach me and the host was patient and… read more
She was doing a great job with prepping, priming and painting, both indoors and outdoors, even though she did not have so much experience with this from before.
She was flexible and helpful, trustworthy and proactive. I gave her full freedom to administer her work, and working times herself, so she… read more
