Description

Hey, nice to meet you! My name is Nikolaj and I'm 20 years old. I've finished high school, majoring in music and Russian, and am now taking a gap year before studies. On this trip I am going to visit as much of South America as I can.

Travelling is something that has always fulfilled me. Meeting fascinating cultures, learning new languages and making friends all over the world is so cool! My interest in languages helps me connect easily with people.

I get described as an open-hearted person, always ready to help. Ranging from hard physical work to very easy tasks, I like to do it with a smile on my face. On my mission to meet different cultures, I'm keen on doing various Workaways, wether it is on a farm or in a hostel, teaching a school or building a house.

I am a swimming and waterpolo instructor, have worked for 6 months as a barista and have experience in teaching children in a school environment. To add to that, I have a passion for technology and know how to create and host a website, or help in programming software.
