My status

Would love to meet up for doing something active - volleyball, football, swimming, game of chess - you name it!

Description

After finishing my bachelor in philosophy, I felt the urge to do something different. What this entails, I am yet to find out, but I hope you will become a part of the journey!

I stumbled upon this website as I wanted to get in touch with locals in a genuine way. To only backpack Europe as a day-tourist seemed meaningless, as you don't really get to know the people living there - and their other ways of life.

I am starting my journey in Berlin and have 6 months. The plan for now is to travel east towards Istanbul, but what to do and where to go will the wind in the end decide - and the future hosts in workaway.

With an active, outdoorsy lifestyle I have a broad spectre of interests; going on hikes, rock-climbing, practising yoga and meditation, and sport loving - especially beach volleyball.
I am also a published writer, an educated muscle therapist/masseur and a mountaineering guide.

I am very excited to meet the future you and all the lovely people in here, and see how we can enrich each other's lives!

Yours sincerely
Aslak

More details about your skills

I am hardworking and rich on initaiative - which likes to get things done. I have practical skills from different summerjobs, and especially in the work with converting a Mercedez Sprinter into a place to live. In this conversion we did everything by ourselves, including the interior, electrical system, shower and the plumbing (even though I am not so steady on the electrical part).


I have further worked as a substitite teacher - and have a lot experience from teaching by the work as a sergeant in the army. I've also stayed one year in USA so my english is fluent.
