Description
Hey, I'm Jan Niklas, 19 years old and I’ve just finished school and now I would like to get to know new places on earth and meet new people. I think it will be a special and exciting experience to spend a year abroad and help out on one or more farms or ecological/social projects, but I'm also open for any other job or adventure.
I live in a small town in northern Germany and in my free time I like to meet up with friends, do something outside or look after my dog.
My first stop was Toronto.
After that I went to Ottawa staying at a Workawayhost and helping in the garden and some renovation projects. I also helped building a deck.
Then I went to Rhode Island to a small farm. I helped at some farmwork, housekeeping and other renovation projects and also got the opportunity to help volunteering on Rose Island.
From Rhode Island I went to Maine where I helped with dogsitting, housekeeping and at some renovationprojects aswell before I went to DC and Victoria (bc) where I did similar tasks.
Currently I’m in Québec City until April 18, when I'm stopping in Trois Rivieres
before I go to Montrél.
I'm going to be in Montréal until april 30. Then I’ll be in Ottawa in the beginning of may before I’ll stop in Toronto for a few days as the last stop on this journey in Canada.
In mid may I plan to fly to Iceland, which is going to be my last stop on this journey.
