  Description

  I am a reindeerherder and a sami traditional singer ( yoik)/artist. I am very social, spending my time a lot in the nature and looking for my reindeers during the different seasons. I would need some help with small projects outside the house such as moving fence (reindeer) and transport supplients (small supplies) to my houses in the mountains.
  
  I am very interrested in learning new languages, so therefore I like the idea of workaway. I am a musician and I would appriciate if you like music. And maybee have a exchange in music also.
  
  You need to like outdoor activities and enyoing wildlife experience because occasionaly we go to the mountains.
