    Update 07.01.2024!


    We are a mature couple who enjoy meeting new people and culturel exchange. We have run our farm as a visiting farm open for tourists for more then 30 years, but now have decided to retier because of our high age and helth problems and put our farm up for sale.
    The farm is closed for visitors now and we have already sold ”big” animals like cows, sheep and pigs but our other sweet animals: ponies, goats, rabbits, hens, ducks, geese, donkeys, dogs, cats and also some guinea pigs and peacocks we would prefer will stay by us until they will be sold together with the whole property, we hope the new owner will have them so they will continue living in their familiar surroundings.
    All our animals are very tame and friendly so if you are an animal lover you will be pleased to meet them.

    We are living in a big house that we renovate now and we have a little nice garden.

    The property is situated in a stunning nature surroundings 6 km north from Løkken and only 1,5 km from the beach.
    There is an unspoiled natur around and sometimes you can see a wild pheasant walk on the lawn or a wild hare jumping in the garden or a deer run across the field.
    This place is a paradise for them who loves nature, seaside, animals.

    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    By living with us will you be a part of our family.
    Olga is Russian, she came to Denmark from Leningrad just before the USSR collapse and Ole is Danish so we have knowledge about two different cultures and ways of living. We have both a big life experience, have travelled much and would like to share our experience with others. We are both very interested in learning other cultures and meeting people.
    We can teach you Russian and English and Ole can teach you a little about construction and carpentry ( in renovation of our house) if you are interested and of course you will learn a lot about Denmark, Danish people and countryside while living her.

    Help

    Just now we are only looking for help in our private house: cleaning and renovation, housekeeping, maybe sometimes cooking ( just for us), help with gardening in our private garden.
    We want to finish renovation of our house as soon as possible so some experience with renovation/contsruction/carpentry/cleaning would be nice.
    If you stay with us we can arrange that both we and you can cook at times depending on if you like doing it.
    We expect you to help max. 5 hours per day 5 days per week.

    We are looking for open minded, hardworking, engaged, happy people who are polite and smiling, like to make fun and are not afraid for manual work. We like to have a good energy in the house where everyone can be open with ideas and opinions.

    We need volunteers all year around (while we still live here) and we prefer you to stay for a longer period at least one month.
