Description

Hi all!

We are a French couple, both 32 yrs old. We've lived in British Columbia, Canada for the past four years and we are planning to travel to Norway in the Spring. We'd love to live above the Arctic Circle and learn about the culture. We are also drawn to Nordic landscapes; one of our dreams is to kayak in Norway's fjords. We have accumulated various volunteering experiences with our travels.

Last summer, we volunteered at a whale research station on a remote island on the West Coast of BC, and it reinforced our love for the ocean and our desire to have more enriching experiences around the world.

We are new on Workway and can't wait to share meaningful experiences with hosts and other Workwayers!
