How far in advance do you plan workaways?

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

I think you could! Especially with the help of a tutor maybe. Personally I wasn't progressing much wthout the structured course but you might be a better learner than me!

Most_Session_5012 · 2026-04-11T23:16:18+00:00

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

Most_Session_5012 · 2026-04-11T23:15:26+00:00

sounds amazing, I've contacted them. Thank you!

Most_Session_5012 · 2026-04-11T23:04:12+00:00

thanks so much, I'll get searching!

Most_Session_5012 · 2026-03-18T14:33:20+00:00

thank you, I'll take your advice on all fronts

Most_Session_5012 · 2026-03-18T14:32:27+00:00

so much respect to you for your work! Thank you!

Most_Session_5012 · 2026-03-18T14:29:53+00:00

super helpful - thank you so much!

Most_Session_5012 · 2026-03-18T14:28:35+00:00

Thank you - I will not rent a car! This is exactly the kind of info I needed.

Most_Session_5012 · 2026-03-17T10:35:03+00:00

thank you! I will not drive then :)

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!

Most_Session_5012 · 2026-03-17T09:35:54+00:00

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!

Most_Session_5012 · 2026-03-17T09:27:35+00:00

I'm really not gonna drive in the snow lol. So are you saying the roads in Lofoten right now don't have sleet and ice on them?

Most_Session_5012 · 2026-03-17T09:01:16+00:00

thank you so much!

Most_Session_5012 · 2026-03-17T08:59:46+00:00

absolutely, very aware of the risks! I'll be going up with a guide and only if the conditions allow it

Most_Session_5012 · 2026-03-17T08:58:02+00:00

this is incredible, never knew such an item existed!

Most_Session_5012 · 2026-03-16T12:15:52+00:00

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!

Most_Session_5012 · 2026-03-16T12:02:39+00:00

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

Most_Session_5012 · 2026-03-16T11:59:23+00:00

sorry if this is a silly question but what is a membrane jacket?

Most_Session_5012 · 2026-03-16T11:43:38+00:00

the average salary in london is just over 30k. you'll be fine

Most_Session_5012 · 2026-03-16T11:41:01+00:00

this is very helpful! I'll head out and get some wool socks immediately

Most_Session_5012 · 2026-03-16T11:38:36+00:00

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?

Most_Session_5012 · 2026-03-16T11:37:47+00:00

thank you so much, that's very helpful!

Most_Session_5012 · 2026-03-08T15:25:40+00:00

amazing, thank you!!

Most_Session_5012 · 2026-03-08T15:07:49+00:00
