Description
I am Arthur, 30 years old, software engineer and physicist by education, have years of digital nomading and living abroad behind me. I still travel around quite a bit but love to spend time at home in the Arctic. I speak Norwegian, English, Spanish and Catalan fluently, I can get along in French and Italian. Learning Russian and Latin.
Looking for:
1. Language practise and conversation in: Russian, Italian, French, Lithuanian, I am in serious need of lots of practise with active correction as I aspire to speak these very well.
2. I am myself doing various carpentry related projects on the house and a couple of extra hands is always handy. Help alongside me there is a possibility to learn about fine wood working, utensil making and more.
Living with me also entails having the oppurtunity to visit my parents, grandparents and other cities close by as I move around a bit an you are free to join in. Learning about Norwegian food, culture and life is of course a natural part of this as you'll be staying in Norway. Though a bit in the middle of nowhere, it is as Norway as you can get.
My wonderful grandfather who helps me with the ongoing construction projects is also be around at times.
