    Description

    Hi!
    I'm Hans Christian. I am 52 years old and I live in the outskirts of Konsgberg in Norway where I have a house and a small garden. I have been working as an engineer for 18 years, but now I work as at lecturer at vocational school.
    I like to travel with my vintage VW camper-van, but I also stay a lot around my house. Besides old camper-vans, my interest are many, such as photography, hiking, music, machinery and technology. I also do some occasional target shooting.

    Since I now live alone I realize that there is a lot to do in my garden. I have a dream to some day turn parts of my small garden into a vegetable garden. I also have a small green house that needs to be taken care of. But, primarily I just want to tidy up everything so it can be nice during the summer months.

    I am new to workaway, so please have a little patience with me. On the other hand I have been hosting on other platforms such as counchsurfing for several years, so I guess it will be much the same experience :)

    Help

    My garden is a total mess so I could seriously need some help with gardening. There are grass and bushes everywhere now, and it would be really nice to have everything tidy before winter so that I can start help on the garden again next spring. :)

  • What else ...

    What else ...

    The area around my home and town is very nice for hiking. There are many well marked tracks in the area. There are also some museums as the town is an old silver mining town, so it has some history. Kongsberg is located rather central in South Norway, so it is a nice 'hub' for exploring this part of the country.
