Description
We are husband Kurt 53, and wife Mette 50 and live on a small farm in the countryside on the beautiful island of Bornholm. We are more or less self-sufficient with vegetables and meat as we keep both sheep and chicken and have a big garden.
Kurt keeps bees which means that these small insects gives us great honey!
It means a lot to us to grow our vegetables organic and also to live that way.
We have two horses, cats and a dog. There is a great opportunity to be around the horses if you like horses already or if you are curious about them.
We spend a lot time outside and love to sleep in our shelter in the back of the garden. Kurt works as a tradesman and he likes to build and create things out of his own head.
Mette works as a nurse in the psychiatric ward of the local hospital.
We have 3 children at the age of 22, 24 and 26 years. They live on their own now, but we stay in good contact with them and meet quite frequently. We like to meet new people and we are excited about opening our home to other people.
We prefer having 2 workawayers at a time, we have experienced that it's nice to have some company if we're not around.
Most important; we are quite easygoing and want you to feel at home while you enjoy the work and your stay with us.

What else ...
Bornholm is a very beautiful place to visit and the nature varies between rocky coasts in the northern part of the island to sandy beaches in the southern part.
We live 7 km from the biggest town on Bornholm and 4 km from the coastline. It's easy to get around from where we live, we have busses passing right outside, and the cycletrack is not far from our home.
We love the nature here and hopefully our enthusiasm about it will infect our workawayers :-)

He is a very nice and easygoing guy to be around and he did a good job with the animals while we were away. He's reliable and it seemed like he enjoyed doing the things that were needed here.
Thanks a lot Rodrigo!

She is so easygoing and a very nice person to be around which made her one the best workawayers we've had.
No matter what kind of job we wanted her to do, she just did it and furthermore she was very good at taking an initiative on her own.
She became a part of the way we're living and did great job.
