    Description

    We are an active family on 5. We live in Rosendal, a lovely village on the inner west coast of Norway, surrounded by Fjords and mountains.
    We love to get to know new people, and learn about their culture.
    We are mainly looking for couples to help us out.
    Our main project right now is to rework a large stone terrasse in front of the house. We need to take up by hand the stones/cobble and redo the sand foundation and then re install them. Some outdoor painting also needed. Physical work outside. We would also require help with the daily routine of making food and keeping the house in order.
