    Description

    Edit winter 2024. Im not able to answer all applications. Many people want to come. I prioritize musicians, environmental and social activists and people with yoga and meditation experience.

    Im Chris, former permaculture activist now focused on changing the entire socio-economic system. I like to study alternative models to capitalism. Other interests are singing, guitar playing, national parks, meditation.I will tell you the coolest nature spots in Lapland and help you to get most out of your stay. I will hook you up with other locals if you are interested in meeting people. I love to play music together, learn to sing mantras and evolve in music. Im very open minded, flexible and want to learn new things. My car is available for experienced drivers when not in use. Ive lived in five different countries and traveled a lot.
