Care to join me for a drink?

I am staying in The Nord Hostle located about 100 meters from the Hermitage. I would love to meet locals or expats that care to introduce themselves to the most recent addition to your town.

All potential visa issues aside, I will begin looking for an apartment of my own in the coming weeks and begin teaching in mid-late January.

Send me a pm or email if your free...

The hostel I am staying at (Hostel Nord) has an agreement with one of the local hotels allowing them to use their registry stamp. All guests are registered free of charge.

If you are looking for a flatmate for the spring (starting February/March when my current contract ends), please email me at prestowk@gmail.com and we can discuss.

On my previous trip, yes. However now I spend most of my waking hours drinking at the bar in the center of town. Luckily this requires that I only walk a few blocks to my room. However, when my teaching begin's in January, I will be working split shifts and spending many wasted hours in commuting to various locations.
