Since a few days, our team for winter 13/14 is (almost) complete:
Konstantin (together with his dog Duke) arrived as first one. As a professional cook, working in many hotels and restaurants in Germany in the last years, he was missing nature and adventure. That's what he came here for. He was choosing the adventurous type of journey to come her: with backpack and tent, travelling from Germany via the Baltic States to Eräkeskus, walking, hitchhiking and using public transport.
Sanne & Erik: Our 2 "Dutch" are back. After 1 1/2 years of travelling and working in Australia, mostly on farms in the Outback, they moved back to Eräkeskus, where they find all what they missed in Downunder: winter, sleds, dogs! After so many months of travelling, they have chosen the classic way of coming here: with Finnair from Amsterdam via Helsinki to Joensuu.
Sylvia: She got infected with the sleddog-virus during last winter, when she spent a week in Lapland on a dog-tour. The timing is perfect, as she was finishing school in summer 13 and can now enjoy a winter season here, before moving back to Germany for more studies. Sylvia has chosen the combined way of arrival: by car - ferry and train.
More about the new members of team 13/14 you can find on our team-pages.
Alex left us - once more - by end of September. After a comeback of 12 months, love called him back to Germany again. We wish them both all the best for their future and specially to Alex a successful start back "home". Big thanks for the last 12 months of cooperation and... just send a message, when wanderlust is calling again... :-)
So the team for winter 13/14 is almost complete. "Almost", as by end of October one more member will arrive for supporting us for 3 months. To all the new ones: a warm welcome at Eräkeskus, the "old" ones are happy to have you in the team!
Team Eräkeskus Winter 13/14 is looking forward to meet you here!
