  We are a cozy and kind family of 4. Husband and wife with two small amazing children. A 4 year old girl and a 1 year old babyboy. 2 dogs and 3 cats. We are living in a simple cottage next to the forrest, in a lovely neigbourhood south of Oslo in beautiful Norway!
  We have a traditional Mongolian yurt in the garden and a tiny little house on weels for our guests. We value a simple, natural and healthy life style. We love people and at times this can be a pretty social place with possibility to meet interesting new people. But there are also sometimes more quite periodes with less visitors. You never really know and thats part of the adventure here 😊
  We love good homemade food and we hear often that the food here tastes yummy. We are hardworking but also love to have some good fun, playing music, guitar and drums when the time is right. We are looking for people to help us inside the house with the daily tasks, kids, animals and garden. We are looking for goodhearted, honest and peaceful people with an optimistic and flexible attitude. You need to be comfortable with a very simple and natural lifestyle and to love being outdoors 😊🍃🌲 We look forward getting to know you! 🥰
