Les activités qui m'intéressent :
i have been traveling and volunteering in Norway, Finland, Spain Portugal and Switzerland. Mostly helping with renovations, painting, animals. Usually i stay for a week and possibly extending.
Description
Hi im Lars, i live slow but travel far. I've done a lot of studying; economics, history and philosophy, which apparently makes me unsuitable for any well paid jobs. Luckily i don't mind volunteering, working for free and getting a lot to experience in return.
I've helped with renovations, building a roof, painting, taking care of animals, and various handyman jobs.

you know you have found a good place when you keep extending your stay. it was hard to leave this cool spot with the relaxed atmosphere, super nice people and the surfing. the area was already one of my favorite spots in portugal and even more so now. thanks and hope to come again!

staying in a cave house with a lovely British family in the extraordinary Andalusian countryside has been a very good experience. i felt i left too soon. There is a lot of work to be be done, but there wasn't any pressure on making working hours, while the work i did was much appreciated. I found this very motivating and it was nice to learn (a… read more

Lars had a few days to spare and dropped by to give us a hand. He arrived by car, so highly independent! At the time he was here we were doing a very messy process applying yeso, the local plaster. He pitched in with enthusiasm and even did some extra hours to push the job forward! He is a gentle calm person and nice company, he cooked us a meal… read more

a very nice family, in a very nice house on a very nice location makes for an excellent workaway place. I enjoyed working with Matt, and improved my painting skills, because he is a perfectionist with a lot of energy. luckily he can be forgiving to mistakes as long as you are honest about them and try your best. the renovation is a huge project,… read more

I had the pleasure of having Lars as my last volunteer of July.
One thing was clear pretty quickly... he is the easiest person to be around and for sure the calmest and most relaxed one I ever had, haha.
He is always ready to give a helping hand , go new places, and to learn something new, and is very tidy.

I had a good time at Eva's place near Jijona. Eva is a very good host, she makes it very clear what to expect and not to expect, which sometimes might come across as a bit unfriendly but she always cares a lot about making the stay enjoyable. The facilities are great, and, as Eva says on her profile, it's better to have your own transportation… read more

Lars was a big help for us two weeks. He is a kind person, good worker, flexible, tidy. It is easy to get along with him. And he cooked good pasta. We definitly recommend him for any host.

Sometimes you are at a place just doing the things that need to be done but later when you look back you realize how special it was. Here i already realized that this was such a place while i was still there. I stayed only two weeks, but got to experience much of the lifestyle. It would be great to come back in another season.. and make some shoes!

Reinebringen, ryten, ramberg, all beautifull places, but the most memorable thing of the lofoten will be those kids going around the chimney on the toy car. Turbo time! It was a bit strange to suddenly be part of this family, but also a lot of fun. I could help around the house with some works and even did a bit of babysitting. And a visit to… read more

It was a very short stay before the winter, but im glad i got the opportunity to visit. I was curious to learn about ‘svanhilds weird rules’ as one workawayer mentioned in the feedback, it turned out not to be so weird especially when i learned about the experience they had with some weird workawayers. Luckily those had been exeptions. Although… read more

A paradise it truly is, but maintanance can be hell. As a workawayer I could help balance the scale in the right direction. Many jobs get so much easier with some help, so i didn’t have to do much to make a big difference. It was a lot of fun with Hilde and Ulf being special characters who I got along with very well, as well as another great… read more

I had a wonderful time at the small farm and shop in Nesflaten. Anybody who’s willing to put in some effort can experience Norwegian farmlife here. It can at times be a lot of work, but there was a very good balance between work and entertainment and most of the time both coincided. If you don’t have time to stay and work you should definitely… read more

Lars is a very nice person, we can highly recommend him as a workawayer to everyone. He was of very good help in all the different work we had to do during his stay. He adapted to our life and all the different tasks very quickly, so a (long) week was ok, allthough he could have stayed on as long as he wanted. Very easy going, very pleasant, tidy,… read more

Lars has been my first experience with using workaway as a host and it was the best start I could wish for. Lars has a lovely, sensible, kind and attentive attitude and a good sense of humor. He has been of great help, pleasant to share time with and really good company. Taking part of daily life, it seemed he has been here always. I can warmly… read more
