june- july- Looking for House/pet/plant sitters in. Alsvag, Norway
I am Lucy, 45 years old. Educated in healthcare but left my Job to build a life that I could actually live in a way that makes me happy and grounded. Closer to myself and free from bad stress. In 2020 I bought a small farm in Vesterålen, northernnorway and one dream is to transform the barn into an art gallery. This may happen, and it may not…depending on what life gives me.
Kunsthuset is a registered Company, but At the moment, buissness is nonprofit. And Will be for a few years, maybe always. I always offer free shelter for travellers passing by or wanting to Explore Øksnes. I also concider my farm to be a project with No ending... It Will go where ever the moment and the People leads it.
The farm always need some overall looking after. Cutting grass, making firewood, small repairs, shoveling snow, harvesting berries, cleaning... And so on.

Working at my place will give you knowledge about northernnorwegian culture. Sometimes I can offer a roadtrip. Nature experiences will be present at all times, because of the location and wildlife in the area. I also like practicing norwegian with people by listening to their reading and talking. I have time to spend with readingexersices and I just love being read to :)
Ayuda
I first of all need helpers with wood working skills. Repairing buildings and making New buildings is my biggest challenge.
If you don’t have theese skills, there might be some small tasks to do anyway, depending on the season.
Feeding chicken and the cats, harvesting berries, mushrooms and bark, cutting grass, snow shoveling, making firewood, organizing, cleaning, making jam and juice,... Etc.
Idiomas hablados

Alojamiento
Private room with a view, inside my home or caravan outside the house. The caravan has no functional watersystem tho.
Algo más...
My farm is located in Vesterålen in quite a rural area, but there is a bus stop Just by my driveway. 2 hours drive from Lofoten. Nearest towns are Sortland and Myre.
NOTE that the farm is very calm and quiet. In the wintermonths also very dark. To stay here, you have to be able to cope with solitude.

After you wrote to me in 2023, it was clear to me that I would really like to get to know you and your place. Now it took me until my third trip to Norway. It suits both of us to say. Perseverance wins. ;-) Or the right time will definitely come. How fitting was it that you wrote to me again after half a year and I was just around… read more

I stayed at Lucy's place for a month. It was my first workaway experience and it couldn't be better! I am so lucky that I chose this place and Lucy as my first host. It was absolutly amazing! Lucy is the kindest and most friendly person. I am sure you will feel as at home with her. She has a cosy house in a beautiful area… read more
I deeply reccomend Anna for farm/housesitting.
Alsvag and the area around is spectacular. The weather wasn't always kind even in June but it didn't matter, the fjord and mountain views and skies kept changing. Lucy's farm backs straight onto a magical valley, it's ten minutes walk to a couple of stunning beaches, a bike is available to go on longer trips. Best of… read more
