  Description

  Hello travellers - and welcome to Fyn, near Svendborg :-)
  
  We are a female, funny, friendly, curious, well travelled and easy going couple: Ninna (accountant + musician) and Bente (sculptor + social artist) and our three darling cats. We are a kind of getting older (seenagers...) ( 6o & 63) but still vibrant and young at heart :-)) We run an organic, vegetarian and very sustainable home.
  
  We're inviting preferably two travellers at a time for minimum 2 weeks, to our lovely old cottage in a lively village (Vester Skerninge) right between Svendborg and Faaborg.
  
  For 5 hours work a day 5 days a week we offer:
  
  - Mutual social and cultural exchange.
  - Great vegetarian, homemade food and a sustainable lifestyle / household
  - Good company (Ninna works mostly from home. Bente in her workshop in Svendborg).
  - Flexibility, good fun, open minds.
  - Free wi-fi and access to computer.
  - Your own spacious, clean and cosy campervan parked in driveway.
  - Or a great daybed in our guestroom.
  - Two bicycles + helmets.
  - 4 km. beautiful country ride to the sea or forest.
  - 10 km. to Svendborg and Faaborg, 45 km. to Odense.
  - Hundreds of wonderful sceneries, old castles and places to visit in the area.
  - Busstop to Svendborg and Faaborg just 1 min. away.
  - Access / workspace in Bentes 400m2 workshop right the harbour in Svendborg.
  
  We prefer travellers who:
  
  - Are used to working with their hands,
  - Have good work ethics and a high standard (We do :-)).
  - Driven by self motivation and independency.
  - Like flexibility, good shared moments and open attitudes.
  - Show an outgoing, serious but also fun attitude :-)
  - Speak a fairly good English and can communicate openly.
  - IMPORTANT: like to do paintwork and have steady hands and sharp eyes. Think it's also called patience 🤩
  - Like gardening and weeding. The garden is beautiful and not too big.
  - Like to learn and listen.
  - Will give a hand or two with cooking good food and cleaning the house from time to time.
  
  Projects this Summer:
  
  - - Most small window frames need sanding and fresh white paint.
  - - The garden always needs love, attention and care :-). New creative ideas and projects in it are openly welcomed :-)
  
  Looking forward to hearing from you and to welcoming you to our paradise :-)
  
  Have a safe and fun journey whereever you're going.
  
  Blessings
  Ninna & Bente
  
  PS. We can of course pick you up / drop you off in our electric car. Smoking is ok outdoors. No drugs what so ever. All questions are welcome. Thanks.
