Hi workawayers!
Urgently looking for a housesitter for April 3rd- April 6th.
I am looking for a couple to stay with me and help me get my garden back into shape.
I have a raised vegetable garden that has fallen apart and we need to redo it completely. It's a fun project and I will be part of it.
Also I need to remove a big chicken coop and make a brick terrasse instead. Further there's general maintenance jobs on the house and painting jobs, So lots of fun projects to do.
Please write about yourselves and your experience with workaway. It's very important to me, that you are mature and reliable people.
I am working from home and have time to hang out and cook and do some activities as well. I do not have a car, so we are relying on public transport, which is easy from where I live.
My house is stritcly a non-smoker house.

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
Stay in beautiful Copenhagen in a modern comfortable house with a beautiful small garden. Enjoy the company of my cat Mr. Svendsen.
I am 53 years old and open and outgoing as person. I have travelled all over the world and enjoyed amazing hospitality everywhere. I have been all over Europe, Africa, Middle East, Australia, New Zealand, Japan and more. My last big journey was 3 years motorcycle Africa and the Middle East on my motorcycle.
I think the typical workawayer staying with me is 30 years of age or more, mature, humble, uncomplicated and easy-going persons. Someone self-motivated who likes to do projects and get your hands dirty, but can also chill and entertain yourself and who will also leave the house to explore Copenhagen. You are non-smoker.
Help
The help will be 5 hours, 5 days a week. The stay include meals. The rest of the time make sure to chill, play with the cats and explore beautiful Copenhagen! :)

Accommodation
My house is modern and comfortable and furnished with everything you need. There is a washing machine and dryer, hairdryer, dishwasher etc.
Please note that your room is an open space room with no door. There is a door to my bedroom, so you will have privacy, but you can't close a door to your room. I can give you a key for a small stoarge room if you want to store some stuff safely.
Your bed is a very large, very thich air mattress. It's super comfortable and if it's not good for your back, we will just swop and you can take my bedroom instead.
What else ...
My house is just 45 minutes from beautiful Copenhagen. There's a S-train station 12 minute walk from my house that will take you right downtown.
There's also a bus to the train station just 5 minutes from my house.
3 km from my houst there is one of my favorite places in the world, the beautiful forest Hareskoven You can walk, run, MTB, swim there and even stay in shelters during the night.
5 km from my house is a beautiful lake Søndersø. I love to swim there.
I would recommend getting a bicycle if you are here for a longer stay, it is really the best way to get around Copenhagen and you can bring your bicycle on the train for free.
Should you be in the process of moving to Denmark and need an official address for your CPR number and bank, I might be able to let you register on my address.

They stayed for a week in my house and did an amazing amount of work. Always in good spirit and with a smile.
They are chill and fun to hang out with, very well behaved, constantly asking if there was something more they could do.
We did some fun things together.… read more
