    NEW PLACE - new profile - please read down below as well!!

    March 2023:

    Once more I change my description :)

    Now I would be really happy to find a couple OR two girls travelling/workawaying together!

    What I need is assistance with caring for my one year old girl and maybe some hand with housework and organizing at my place.

    If you are over 30 years old, good with kids, handy and it would be heaven if you cook good food for all of us - both meat and vegetable :)

    I ask you to provide a certificate of a clean criminal record!!!

    I would love to have Spanish speaking (and good English) people to improve my very poor Spanish (I only know few words!!), but I´ll consider others too :)

    Look forward seeing if I find the right match,

    best wishes,
    Ása Dóra

    Now - once again- my life has turned upside down - in a really good way this time😊

    1.August 2022:

    My baby girl is already 6 months old and we have been together almost constantly 24/7 for that time! I have been enjoying this time a great deal, loving to watch her grow and develop and get to know the world ❤

    Now as much as I love her and love to be with her - I'm beginning to crave a tiny little bit of a "breathing time" for me... just to charge my batteries - maybe 1-2 hours every day where I could be calm - knowing that she is safe with someone I trust, while I do things that are difficult with a baby in my arms...or while I just take a little "me time".
    I don't have any "hinterland" no everyday assistance from grandparents or siblings or anyone else - although I always have some backup if something happens or in case of emergency...

    I still would prefer a deal where the workawayer would only get accommodation for his/her work - since the work is not so much... and planning meals for me and my daughter is already very hard for me!!

    Now I have some very basic accommodation which might need more making to be acceptable for someone to stay with me for a longer time... but some might make it work to be able stay in Iceland?? This I would like to discuss more with those interested.

    For now I'm not sure if I would be comfortable with having a male workawayer...I think I would be more at ease with either a female or maybe a couple...having become a little freaked out about everything that can happen to a little girl...I hope you understand me and please don't judge me🙈 Maybe this is just a temporary issue being a new mom with all the responsibilities that comes with that!!

    Please read the whole story below - getting to know me and my story a bit... and please just ask if you want more info!

    I look forward hearing from you

    Summer 2021:

    I have sold the place in the North and bought a former cattle sperm center (yes you read right🤣). There I'm working on making a small apartment. Later I'll make a bigger apartment but for now I'm focusing on making the small one cosy for me and the girl I'm expecting...in February 2022 💕

    Because I'm pregnant, I can't do everything I wish and need extra hands. The projects aren't that big that I'm only thinking about maybe an hour a day... or two... and it would be great to find someone who is willing to do that in turn of only accommodation. Rooms are not complete - so I would like to try this arrangement only for few days (maybe a week)...since I would sleep in the livingroom leaving the only room to the workawayer...

    For those who have been contacting me since January 2016, I´m sorry for not responding!!

    I have been going through a lot of changes and haven´t been up to changing my profile until now, when I finally have the possibility of offering space for someone who would like to visit me on my new farm house and help me a little around.

    ----------------

    I live on a farm very close by Dalvík with my Labrador bitch Milla and three horses. Like you see down below, I lost my partner in a marine accident in July 2015 and now I´m looking for a company of an organized, energetic, HANDY (one) person, who would like to get to know Iceland. I would ask the right someone to help me out in the house, organize and clean out the barn/stall of the farm, help me clearing out the basement of the house, that I want to renew and it would be a great benefit, if the same someone would be happy to cook healthy meals for us!!

    In stead I would love to show off my country, take you places and give you some idea of our everyday life :)

    If you want to know more, feel free to send me a line and I will be happy to tell you more! I´m also working on updating the pictures of my profile - so stay tuned :)

    best wishes,

    Ása Dóra

    Hi everyone!

    I'm updating my profile. Things have changed for me here this summer because in July (2015) my soul mate died in a tragic accident so now I'm running my business without Maggi.

    I‘m Ása Dora. I´m new to all this, but my first couple came in May 2015 and my second July to Sept.
    I own a 7 bedroom B&B and 4 holiday houses in Bildudalur. One of the cottages is already being used as a holiday cottage but the other 3 still need renovation.

    Ideally I´d like a couple who could help me, mainly with general maintenance and the renovation of the houses, but in some cases day-to-day running of the B&B, mostly in the high season (summer). There is also a lot of grass to cut with mower and/or strimmer.

    To renovate these cottages experience or skills in one or all of the following would be needed: plumbing, carpentry, painting & decorating, electrical wiring.

    To help in the B&B, I´d need help changing the beds, doing the laundry, greeting the guests and general maintenance.

    I don‘t expect my volunteers to do all of this but this is what needs doing AND MORE!

    In the high season and every now and then, I do have an employee who is responsible for preparing breakfast for my B&B guests and cleaning the B&B.

    Looking forward to hearing from all the adventurers out there on workaway.
    Westfjords, Iceland is a true adventure!

    _____________________________________________________________________________________

    We are a couple living in the Westfjords of Iceland, that recently bought and restored a house to use for a Bed & breakfast. We also have more older houses that we want to restore and use for a cultural/art tourism, among more tasks like:

    we would really like to have someone how can do all-around work, like:
    - Helping with painting and renovating our "project" houses.
    - Helping with preparing for when most of our guests arrive to our B&B in the summer.
    - Helping with cleaning and changing sheets and preparing breakfast for our winter guests.
    - Doing laundry and general cleaning in a guesthouse...
    ...and maybe some more!?

    Of course this wouldn´t be all work, only the 5 hours of the day. In the spare time we would assist the workawayer in exploring and experiencing the area as good as we can! Have you looked up where the Westfjords are in Iceland? Have you heard about it before?

    We love to meet people from all over the world and think it´s a great idea to offer accommodation and food for few hours work and would like to try it out - in April!

    Now I'm living in a 560m2 building that consists of an office building (where I've made a small flat), a cow shed, barn etc.

    What I'm thinking is to find someone who is willing to work up to 5 hours a day with me...organizing my stuff, paintin and clean up a little around the house...maybe tearing some walls down....who knows :)

    I still wish to find someone who is older than 30 years old, man or a woman who very handy, energetic and positive and it would be great if that someone is interested in cooking wholesome food rich in vegetable (not Vegan though, since I like meat a lot!).

    Old description:
    I´m living on a farm in Svarfaðardalur, very close to Dalvík in north east Iceland - another "one of the most beautiful part of Iceland" (see description below).

    I intend to change my house and organize my barn/stall and am looking for help with that, as well as keeping me and my dog "Milla" company. It would be great to find someone who is over 35 years old, very handy, energetic and positive and it would be great if that someone is interested in cooking wholesome food rich in vegetable (not Vegan though, since I like meat a lot!).

    Old version:
    Bildudalur is in the Westfjords – one of the most beautiful parts of Iceland. I‘m offering you an opportunity to have a varied work schedule in a small village in beautiful surroundings. Ideally you need to be a couple or an individual over 25+ (or extremely mature if younger) and able to work unsupervised and often without specific daily instructions. There is always plenty to do and I need responsible volunteers who can work from their initiative and get things done.

    Updated:

    When you´re not working there is plenty to see and do in Borgarfjörður and I´m more than happy to help you explore the area and experience the everyday lives of the locals.

    In the summer the days are long (continuous in fact) and the wildlife and hiking opportunities abundant. In winter you can experience sun, rain, snow, ice and hail often all in the same day. And of course there´s the Northern Lights. And the autumn is delightful.

    Local attractions include the bird reservoir - directly where my house is placed (Iceland is one of the best European spots for birdwatching), amazing hiking routes of various grades and so much more! (Google "Borgarfjörður")

    Iceland is a truly remarkable place (in recent years tourists visiting Iceland has risen astronomically and will soon exceeds 2 million a year compared to only 320.000 inhabitants) and well worth a visiting.
