Description
Hello my name is Spencer. I am a University student taking some time to travel and improve my German. Currently I live on a small island outside of Seattle where I am employed as a carpenter. In my free time I like to build synthesizers, work on my car, and play music. My father's family is from Germany and I have enjoyed connecting with my family culture through learning German. I really enjoy working with my hands and repairing things. I have also worked as a Gardner and would be happy to help you in your garden. Right now I am working on becoming an Archaeologist, I am very interested in history and all forms of science. I hope to grow my knowledge while traveling and look forward to the new experience's that traveling brings.

Sofia and Thomas are two of the most kind, interesting, and generous people we have had the pleasure of staying with while traveling! Both of them were so kind and helpful with their resources and their network of like-minded creative people that it made the idea of moving to Germany much more accessible and inviting. Their kindness in helping us… read more

We spent a lovely week with them, talking about all kinds of topics, practicing German with them and enjoying their company.

He was easy to work with and has great skills to offer. He had a flexible approach and worked independently when I had to be at work. He was with me for a month and… read more
