Description
Hello dear Workaway community,
my name is Robert and I'm 34 years old. This summer I intend to cycle to the North cape starting from Munich. At first my only intention was to cycle to the north cape and come back. But the more I researched about Norway the idea of staying longer especially over winter grew more and more inside of me. As an experienced traveller (spent one year in New Zealand, one year in Australia, half a year in the USA and many other shorter travels in Europe) I know now that the longer I stay in the country and try to connect with locals the better the experience.
Therefore I am looking for great people to stay with and to spend an awesome time together.
A few words about me:
I am a very sporty and outdoorsy person. I love running, hiking and cycling.
Friends say about me that I am a very chatty person. This is just due to the fact that I love to meet and connect with other people. In my opinion there is nothing more intresting in life than to learn about the life of others.
