Description
Hello Traveller,
We are a couple with two kids who have a summer house in Gilelleje north of Copenhagen. Our main life is in town, but we are in the summerhouse every second weekend with the kids. We also have a 10 year old labrador called Lola. We rent out our summerhouse but we happily over it to workaway people/couples in exchange for some help around the house.
We have travelled to many places, and we love to hear new exciting stories from other cultures! We are an international couple which means that Patrick is danish and I am German. Our common language is English but we speak mostly danish with the kids.
The ocean is 10 minutes walking away. You can use our towels or sunumbrella or snorkeling equipment if you like.

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
We are surrounded by the beautiful nature of Denmark, which helps you to explore the area! Also if you like to be close to the ocean,you can just take a 10 minutes walk to get there. We are going to the city 1-2 times per week (45 minutes drive) so if your schedule fits to ours then we can take you obviously with us. Otherwise, there is also a train station called Gilleleje and you can also can borrow our bikes.

Help
We would really like to get our garden ready and beautiful again. Since it is quite big, we just can't get the workload done. We want to paint the house from the outside, repaint the little shed and build a carport. We are also interested in building a sauna in our garage. The plants and the vegetable box needs to be in shape again as other gardening things.
Besides that, we would need someone in the household who could clean and keep things organised. As with Kids, the mess starts with toys and stuff everywhere. Daily tasks like emptying and filling the dishwasher, washing clothes, cleaning the rooms, and maintaining the garden.
Patrick and I are working full time so unfortunately we won't be at home very often. That means that you should feel comfortable in being alone and taking responsibility in your task around the house.
Garden tasks:
- removing all old leaves
- cutting branches
- removing older plants and bushes
- removing grass between tiles
-painting a little shet
- painting house walls
- planting grass
House task:
- vacuum clean house
- emptying dish washer
- doing washings in washing machine
- clean windows

Accommodation
You will have your bedroom upstairs in the summer house. There is a double bed inside of the room.
We will sometimes have food together but it won’t be every day. We want you to have your privacy or your night out as well as we want to. We have a big kitchen where you can use all the facilities and you are welcome to cook :)
Note: We only have one bathroom, so we have to be mindful in sharing especially in the morning when we try to leave the house quickly for school and work.
What else ...
We are very easygoing and social but we also understand the concept of privacy. We want to have a good stay with you together. We would recommend this stay for someone or a couple that likes to also be on your own, as we are not all the time around the house. Therefore we would also say you should be self confident and trustworthy.
In your time off you can explore the nature around us, go to the ocean or bike around. As already mentioned, you can go to the city by train.
