    Description

    Hi and welcome to our home.

    We are so much looking forward to a late summer with lots of new thing to do.

    If you like beeing outdoor, this is for you. We have some firewood to make, with a machine :-) and already cut into slices. Soon we have to cut the hedges and get the garden ready for winter.

    We do different thing all the time. You help with what ever we are doing and taking part of everyday life at our place.
    Among other things , we are working on a small wagon for an extra small room in the garden and the chickens need a new house and much more.

    We are Martin and Charlotte and we live in a danish style, old farm house with a creative approach to life.
    We love when the world can come to us with travelers from all over the world :-)
    We prefer travelers who can speak English well.

    We work with illustration and graphics. We have our studio at home. You will not be able to help with that kind of work.
    We can be really busy working and other times we have a lot of time for other things.
    We enjoy making soap, and other handicraft.
    Living in the countryside, with a big old house and garden, there are always things where we need helping hands.

    We have a little house with a room on the top-floor, that's our guest room.
    Free internet.

    Most of the year we can use help with different things in and around the house and garden.
    And cooking. We love to taste different kind of food. If you can cook your favorite local food, it would be really good. We expect that you cook once a week pr. person.
    We offer three normal size meals a day - morning - lunch and dinner. We all eat the same. If you need more you are welcome to buy and keep your own stuff in our fridge, if needed.

    Are you good with SoMe, maybe we could benefit from that. We have a couple of Instagram profiles and websites that always needs some attention.

    PLEASE NOTICE: it is NOT possible to use our address to register for cpr. number
    Please read our profile before you applay.

    We prefer 2-3 week stays. But we are open to other arrangements as well. Write and tell us about you plans.
