Description
Hi there,
After a very first and positive experience as workawayer, I thought it would be time to be on the other side as host and to welcome you in the most incredible place you'll find on earth: Tromsø!
10 years ago, I stumbled into this website as being the best opportunity to have a first foot in a country I didn't know anything of. I've met a wonderful familly near the Lofoten islands that made my stay so incredible, that I felt myself more as a part of a familly, than just a mere volunteer. After that, I've never left Norway and decided to build my own company and that's precisely where I would need your help. I run a streetfood business in this majestic Arctic town called Tromsø, that I've never managed to leave because of too much beauty, and I'd need some help for some maintenance this summer, in order to best prepare the upcoming winter.
There is quite a fair amount of painting tasks to be done at the house, office and others, which should be at the reach of pretty much anyone. If you have a calling for the hight north, just drop me a line! ;)
Best,
Nathanaël -

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
The place I live in which you'll stay is right in the city center of Tromsø, and I know this town just like my pocket. I can take you to all the stuffs that tourists will never know about and places that will most likely make you stay longer than you think. Tromsø is a real drug, once caught, you'll never leave, but for the better ! ;) And I'll try my very best to make you feel part of this town too. When we're at work, we're at work, but it's good also to enjoy our free time in the best possible way to get to best know each others. This town and this country in general is lacking skilled people with a strong sense of service. If your plan is to stay here for longer period and to make a living out of your skills, this is definately the right place for you. Having built my own business without speaking Norwegian, I could absolutely help you on this and many other things. On the top of that, I brew my own beer, bake my own bread, and you'll get garanteed to get the best masala chaï in town nearly everyday! ;) Midnight sun in summer is also a good time for hiking, camping and so on, so it'd be great to get some fresh air outside of town as well from time to time.

Accommodation
Full house, right in the city center, three floors all together, the top two floors are for shared, 5bedrooms total, the ground floor needs help on renovation and has 3bedrooms. I'm alone living in this whole house in summer so space is really not a problem. I don't smoke but you're welcome to do it outside if you please.
