Description
Hello my name Israel.

I’m currently traveling a bit of the world. I was born in Mongolia and have lived/traveled in several countries. Most recently, I did a working holiday in New Zealand and walked, “bussed,” and “trained” the Shikoku Pilgrimage in Japan. I love learning about other countries and cultures. My hobbies are hiking, rock climbing, bicycling, watching movies, reading (mostly nonfiction), writing, and catching/spotting wildlife.

My main goal in traveling now is to revisit some places I lived during my childhood as well as to meet new people and experience how they live and learn from them.

Left by host (Experience a traditional red ...) for Workawayer (Israel)

Izzy is amazing! I’m not exaggerating by saying that we would not have survived without him. While we started at the place as planned, we suddenly needed to move our home in Helsinki. Izzy practically did the whole move with us, for which we are immensely grateful. I don’t know what we would have done, if Izzy had not been there that specific… read more

My stay at Olli’s was amazing. Actually, because Olli and his wife Sari were in the middle of moving, I not only stayed at the place but also at their Helsinki apartment and for a few days at a lakehouse. Olli had me doing a variety of activities. He encouraged me to give a few things a shot that I was nervous about, and it all worked out. I was… read more

Israel have been a positive gentle presence in my house during all the time he has been here. He is a very good worker, calm and quiete who appreciates simple things and authentic relationship.

She did not pressure me to work more than we had agreed upon. She was happy to cook for me, and the meals were simple but delicious. The room I stayed in was cozy and had… read more
