Beschreibung
I have a small farm at the island Hitra on the coast of Trøndelag, just west of Trondheim in Norway. Short about me, 65, have a degree in civil engineering, have worked as a researcher for a few years. I have had a fish restaurant for many years. I have also worked for a French oil company and have traveled a lot around the world. Im a host at rental platform, so there will be other guests here. I am social and like to meet new people.
The farm is located by the sea with beautiful nature around. I live here with my cat, chickens, ducks and goats. So here you can pick your eggs for breakfast every day. In the summer there is a lot of things to do with gardening, in the winter there are construction tasks.
Working language is english, so you have to speak fluent english. I do a WhatsApp meeting with all my Workawayers.

I have just renovated and 80 year old house with good help from Workawayers. I need help with all kind of work with building. I also need help with tasks in the forest, taking down trees, and generally helping outside. There is always a lot to do. You have to be a practical person.

Unterkunft
You will have your own bedroom in the main house. I also have a guest cabin that I rent out. If this is available you will be able to stay there. We have a sauna that you can use if you want. We make food together. By the way, making food is not a part of daily work.

If you want to experience beautiful nature and sea, you can do it at Hitra. There are many hiking trails nearby. If you have a bicycle or car, you can go on slightly longer trips. If you like fishing then you can do it about 40 m from the house. My place on Hitra is about 20 km from the center of Hitra, Fillan. There you have several shops, library and museum. You can come by bus to Fillan from Trondheim every day. I can pick you up there.
I moved to Hitra 3 years ago and thrive very well here. Here it is a quiet life in harmony with nature and no stress. I have good and nice neighbours

Morten is really friendly and forthcoming. He was easy to get along with and you could laugh well with him.
We lived in a small and cozy cottage and went a few times to the sauna. It is not far to the sea and you could even try to dive for scallops.
Working with him was pleasant and never… read more
