Travelling
Description

Hello, my name is Erik and I'm 32 years from Boston, Massachusetts in the US. I am interested in exploring alternative lifestyles, sustainable living and all other amazing things people are doing across this world.

I have traveled off and on over the last decade or so. Each experience has been unique and affected me in different ways as I've progressed through life.

At home, I have worked on fixing houses and have picked up some handyman skills along the way. I'm not afraid of a days work and am respectful of other people and their property.

Thanks for volunteering with us Erik. Erick supported our project, skillfully navigating a tight one week schedule where he met several children and shared his life experiences. The motivational talks will certainly be life changing for these kids. Thanks for everything Erik.

I only stayed about a week but she was kind enough to bring me to Hamburg and the Baltic Sea. I enjoyed our conversations in the car and at home, she is an interesting woman and … read more

It was a real pleasure to have Erik at my place even if it was so short he did an amazing job with cutting the wood and store it properly

Erik had a great visit. During his weeklong stay we graded a large section of trail with shovels, finished the top of a large rock wall, and cleared some downed trees. Erik helped at all tasks we worked on during his stay with a positive attitude, intelligent perspective, and respectful outlook. He is welcome back anytime.
