Description
Hello! My name is David and i am from Austria. I have been traveling alone before, but now i travel with my girlfriend Sini and our dog Juri. We never have any problems dealing with all kinds of people because we're open to everyones sight on the world and respect it. I am a hobby and professional handyman since childhood and generally more the type of guy that loves to work with his hands and tools to really see what i have achieved at the end of the day.
I have studied mechanical engineering.
I was in the military for a year so i know how to clean and how to behave myself.
We love to do all kinds of sports and to further educate ourselves in alot of different fields.
Sini also used to be in the military for about a year.
She's a certified dog behaviour trainer and used to work as a vet assistant for most of her life.
We both work in northern norway during the winters as dogsledding-guides.
We own a cute Bordercollie named Juri who is very well behaved thanks to Sini knowing what she's doing when it comes to training him.
We are only searching for paid Positions to cover travel expenses.
Maybe we meet someday, you never know :)

More details about your skills
I have multiple handyman skills reaching from woodworks to metalworks, including painting, some expertise in electronics and i have also worked on construction sites before but i'm always open to learn new skills. I have studied mechanical engineering for 4 years and worked for 2 years in all of the professions mentioned above. I'm a fast learner and don't give up when it comes to facing difficult obstacles.
I also served in the military for a year so i don't complain about anything and will adapt fast to different situations.
Sini on the other hand is a professional when it comes to animals. She used to train dogs, cats, and even cows!
The knowledge she obtained during her time as an vet assistant also can be useful when working with animals.
She also doesn't mind to get her hands dirty to achieve her tasks.
Since she also served in the military the things mentioned above also apply to her.

The work was rough from time to time when there's a rush hour but also relaxing when there's nobody coming for some time.
You'll learn a lot in a short time and get responsibility to work on your own and at your own pace.
