Beschreibung
I am Miya, 34 years old, originally from Germany, and have lived in Norway for 4 years now.
I have been volunteering and travelling a lot before myself, and look forward to be able to give back now that I have found a more permanent place to stay and milk goats as a hobby that I can use a helping hand with. I milk one of the goats and produce yogurt and cheese for our own consumption.
Here in southern Norway, you can experience warm summers by the sea with swimming, fishing and kayakking, foraging in the woods for blueberries, or mushrooms in autumn. There are also nice rock-climbing opportunities nearby.
In winter, we usually have some weeks of enough snow and ice to long-distance ski and ice skate, and otherwise just 1-2 hours drive north you can find designated skiing places.
From 2027, there will be a little baby in the house. My landlord, who is a good friend, lives in the main house on the same property and comes around now and again and sometimes takes guests along on his outdoor trips with his three sons, aged 12-14. -

Kultureller Austausch und Lernmöglichkeiten
You can learn about goats and milking and making cheese, or you can teach me more about making cheese if you are advanced or have special recepies.
I have a piano, an accordion, some flutes, a violin, a clarinet and a cajón at home and enjoy jamming.
You can visit the local pub which is open once a month, take a kayakk or book a boat to the lighthouse on an island if the weather is ok (mostly in summer), or visit the local wooden church on a sunday, and the cities of Grimstad and Lillesand are only 15 minutes away by car, Kristiansand and Arendal are about 40 minutes away by car. -

You can practice Norwegian, German, or English with me, and we can also talk in French or Spanish, but then I would be the one learning:). -
Unterkunft
You will have your own little room with a double bed in the house, or the wooden wagon in the garden.
I have two sleeping rooms, one with a double bed and one with a double bed and an extra matrass, in the house, and a wooden wagon with a double bed in which I use to sleep. From 2027, I will probably need to use a room in the house, so then the wagon might be an option for a second Workaway request if a first Workawayer will already sleep in the room. If you come as a couple or friends who want to share a room, that is also possible.
We will make some food together, and sometimes you will make food for yourself, you will be free to take everything you find and make suggestions for the shopping list. I buy mainly vegetarian food, when it comes to animal products, I try to use only milk and cheese from the goats, eggs from my boyfriend or the neighbors, honey from the neighbors, and self fished fish / self harvested seafood, and meat from local farmers or from my friends who hunt. -
Was noch ...
I want to create an inclusive and safe space free of racism, sexism, classism, ableism, homo- or transphobia and other forms of discrimination. If there is a need to address any of these issues, I will be open for respectful communication, and expect the same from you.
There is a second little electric car that you can borrow to explore the region.
In 2027, I will be on parental leave. Still, I usually make a list of tasks that can be done, and some of them you would do independently, while other we would do together. You keep track of working time by yourself and we plan together which days you want to have free. Once you feel confident enough, it would be great if you could take some milking shifts on your own.
Having been a volunteer myself many times, I know the advantages of having fixed helping and free times, so we can also arrange that if you want to, but the reality of the last month has shown me that often it ends with a flexible shifting between work and free time. You will in no case have to help longer than 4 hours a day - if a task is not finished in that time, it just has to wait until the next day:) -

Platz zum Abstellen von Camper Vans
Campers are possible, but the parking space is somewhat limited, so we need to look at the size and possibilities individually

Hier sind Haustiere in der Regel willkommen
Dogs would be possible if they are well trained and child/baby friendly. Cats can be problematic since there is a cat living on the property who is quite territorial.

She learned milking quickly, had a good and calm way of being with the animals and was able to milk the goats alone after two days. Estelle worked very independently, effectively and kept everything tidy and clean.
