Description

Hi, I'm a 26-year-old traveler from Germany who has spent the past years traveling extensively, both backpacking and with an RV. From November 2024 to April 2025, I backpacked through Africa, seeking a break from my desk-bound IT security work. After years as a Penetration Tester—a job that helped finance my studies—I felt a strong urge to see the world, meet new people, and experience different ways of living. So I saved money, quit my job, bought an RV, and began traveling.
I'm now planning to do my master in Trondheim starting in the fall semester of 2026, and I'm looking for a Workaway opportunity to immerse myself in Norwegian culture and learn the language. My goal with Workaway has always been more than just visiting different countries—it's about truly understanding how people live and work, and now I'm excited to experience this in Norway before beginning my studies there.
