Description
hey!
*2025 BACK IN ICELAND UNTIL NOVEMBER*
i'm markus, a screenprinter with an engineers bachelors degree in media technologies...
I'm originally from Germany, living in Iceland since 2021.
i am here for connecting with people all over the globe, interested in improving myself by learning and trying new things and of course giving a hand wherever i can.
i'm open to whatever kind of work you'll have to offer!
i've spent some years in iceland, worked on several farms doing all kinds of work. (harvesting/maintenance work/animal care, operating the tractors...)
i worked in a fish factory in the production and as a forklift driver and i worked as a guide on a boat at a glacier lagoon.
i also stood in canada, where i worked at a rafting/glamping/yoga resort and was also doing a bit of everything.
i was guiding hikes, doing archery with guests, kitchen help, cleaning, and maintenance work.
for a few days i was dog- and housesitting as well!
i also worked as a housekeeper, on the front desk and helped building a log and straw house.
last year i've been in finland, working as a guide for icefishing, snowshoeing, snowmobiling, ...
in the beginning of 2024 i helped renovating an old traditional japanese house in Hakuba/Nagano (Japan).
at the moment i am back in iceland working as a guide.
i like being active and being outdoors, hiking, climbing, swimming, making music, singing, drawing and i love to take pictures!
my goals are helping wherever help is needed whilst learnig about different cultures and exploring this planet and evolving!
if you want more information about me, don't bother contacting me!
cheers,
Markus :)
