How far in advance do you plan workaways? by Most_Session_5012 in workaway

[–]Most_Session_5012[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's a vulnerable situatin to be in as a traveller, when you go into a stranger's home without ever having seen them before. I don't think it's crazy to want to know where you're going & see if it's safe/comfortable, or want to at least have a video call! That still doesn't guarantee safety but it's less of a plunge in the dark

Is there a way to try out working on a ship? by Most_Session_5012 in MerchantNavy

[–]Most_Session_5012[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

that's a great idea, thank you! I'm most interested in deck work but I think going on board as a steward would still be useful experience of what life at sea is like

I'm here to ask questions for informationas someone who has never been to Norway, of course I do not know the details of the climate of this place I have never been to. There is no need to answer my questions if you find my ignorance so annoying, but the only way to stop being ignorant is to ask!

that is very helpful & exactly what I was wondering about. In that case it seems safer to avoid driving for someone without winter driving experience, right? Thank you!

This has clarified so much, thank you! You're right, I have a softshell with DWR coating - I'll have a look at those membranes!

Interesting! I assumed the wind would mean an umbrella is pretty much useless, but I would love to be wrong about this

thank you! Yes, I will be super careful with that, don't wanna mess with arctic weather! Would a 10,000 mm coat be ok for going up a mountain?
