Descrição
I am an elderly lady who lives alone on the island Dønna. My house is located close to the sea. I have 3 wery active sleddogs (Samojed) and husky who need a lot of training. That's why I prefer physically strong volunteers. But I also need help in the house, as well as in the garden and with painting work.
I offer traditional norwegian food and I have an own room for you.
I speak little English. It would be an advantage if you speak a little Norwegian. I have a bike you can borrow if you want, you can learn how to knit and fish in the sea (if the weather is good).
I prefer if a volunteer can spend here at least 2 weeks.

Feito pelo anfitrião para o Workawayer (Astrid)
Astrid was with us in January for around 2-3 weeks. She trained my 4 polar dogs by walking and by tricycle. She fed the dogs morning and evening and they enjoyed it. She worked a lot with birch wood in the garage. Otherwise, she took part in various chores around the house. She is a kind and decent person whom I would recommend

I visited Solaug and Bella, Maya,Aisa And Arya in January for around 2-3 weeks and I loved my time there. I miss the mornings feeding the dogs and getting greeted with so much joy and enthusiam. I really got to love them. The training was fun with a three-wheeled bike and when the sun was out it was beautiful!
