Description

Hi there! We are Imre and Charlotte and are in Norway for summer/fall 2025 with our dog Freyja and our beloved Fiat Panda.
We have both separately spent several months in Norway through Workaway before and are now on a shared adventure.

About Imre:
Hello World!
I decided I had enough of my 9 to 5 job as a goldsmith and wanted some more flexibility in my life. So I quit my job, left my home and started traveling, though I do plan to eventually get back to making beautiful things again.
I like the cold and being outside and then getting back inside to a nice crackling fire and a big cuddle with any kind of animal.
I've managed to catch a few glimpses of (rural) farmlife and so far I liked what I saw. It seems great to just take care of all the things that need to be done and then when the work is finished for the day go back inside and unwind with a boardgame, some reading or trying to knit (knitting has been going pretty good if I may say so) or make things with my hands.
I've been told I am reliable, have a sharp mind and I'm both easy and fun to be around.

Practical information:
27 years old
from The Netherlands
Drivers license and a car
fluent in Dutch and English

For my travels, I plan to see where the road takes me: I have no set plans apart from getting to know what day to day life is like for different people.


About Charlotte:
Heya! I very recently graduated from art school and have ambitions to learn more about organic farming and contribute to rekindling and sustaining the connection we have with the nature around us.

Practical information:
- 27 years old
- from The Netherlands
- flexitarian
- driving license
- art school graduate (photography and film)
- Plays a lot of musical instruments a little bit and often sings to herself while working.
- Studied Graphic Design for two years. I also make illustrations, am good with a camera and have a sharp eye for detail.


About Freyja:
On a Workaway experience in Iceland back in 2018 I took care of the guesthouse as well as the dog. She was my daily dose of sunshine on an island where sometimes the sun won't show its face for weeks. Through an unexpected twist of fate I ended up adopting her, which was the craziest and best decision I've made so far in life.

Practical information:
- 13 years old, 15kg
- From Iceland
- Border Collie x Icelandic Sheep dog
- Very chill for a collie; yet surprisingly active for her age.
- Listens exceptionally well
- Sterilised
- Good with children, other dogs and calm around other animals, although a bit tense around cats at first: tendency to chase them off but listens to me if I tell her not to.
- LOVES people, will happily go with you on a walk or receive belly rubs.

More details about your skills

Imre:
As for the skills I bring along I like to think I'm pretty versatile.
I have experience working as a cook in a kitchen, working in a hostel/B&B and 3 years of working at a jewellers as a goldsmith.
Whenever I don't know how to do something I can catch on quickly.
Things I would like to learn are woodworking, more metalworking and taking care of different kinds of animals, I know a bit but there's always more to learn.


Charlotte:
My skills are diverse. My strongest suit is creating; whether it's art (photography, film, drawing/painting, dance or music), or a meal to warm the heart: I LOVE to cook with natural ingredients, no plan whatsoever and somehow it always works out. Vegan Asian-ish is my specialty.
Skills I have learned during my past experiences with Workaway:
- guesthouse/B&B work: roughly 2 years of experience in total, have run a guesthouse alone for several months near Tromsø, Norway.
- general household tasks
- gardening
- chopping wood, making fire
- animal care (hens, pigs, dogs, cats, sheep)
- painting large artworks/murals
- some building
- being in charge of the food for a household.
