  Beschreibung

  We are a family of four – two adults, two children (1 and 8 years old), and a friendly dog – living on a charming small farm in the beautiful Norwegian countryside. We love to travel and are now opening our home to those who want to experience Norwegian nature, culture, and family life.
  
  We live on a small farm with several buildings, including a newly renovated barn and with a ceramics workshop. Currently, the only animal we have is our dog, but we have exciting plans for the farm, including building a greenhouse – a project you can help us bring to life!
  
  Accommodation:
  You will stay in our cozy guesthouse, which has everything you need: a small loft bedroom, a comfortable living room and kitchen, and a bathroom. Please note that the stairs to the loft are steep, and the house is not soundproof between floors, so it’s best suited for someone comfortable with these conditions. Some evenings, we’ll share dinner together in the main house, but otherwise, you’ll have access to a fully stocked fridge in the guesthouse for your meals.
  
  What we offer:
  • Free food and accommodation in a cozy guesthouse
  • Access to our ceramics and porcelain workshop to try your hand at crafting
  • Free bicycles to explore the beautiful surrounding area
  • Stunning nature right outside our doorstep, with canoe rentals available nearby
  • Easy access to the town of Sandnes by bus – from there, you can travel to Stavanger, the Pulpit Rock (Preikestolen), and other iconic Norwegian attractions
  
  What to expect from us:
  We both work full-time, and the children are at school and daycare during the day. We are flexible and happy to create a balance of work and exploration that works for both sides.
  
  Extra perks:
  If you’re interested in learning about Norwegian culture, language, or traditions, we’re happy to share!
  
  Interested?
  Send us a message and tell us a little about yourself – who you are, your experiences, and what you hope to gain from your stay. We look forward to hearing from you!

  Kultureller Austausch und Lernmöglichkeiten

  You’ll have the opportunity to engage with our family, participate in our daily routines, and explore the unique aspects of Norwegian traditions, nature, and lifestyle. Here’s what you can look forward to:
  
  • Norwegian Family Life: Experience life in a welcoming Norwegian family.
  
  • Traditional Cuisine: Join us for shared dinners where you can try authentic Norwegian dishes. If you’re interested in cooking, you can help us prepare meals and even learn how to make sour dough bread rolls and buns. We like to cook healthy meals and love to meet new people that also love this type of cooking
  
  • Nature and Outdoor Activities: Discover Norway’s incredible natural beauty right outside our door. You’ll have access to bikes for exploring the area and can venture out to nearby attractions like the Pulpit Rock, or nearby mountains.
  
  • Crafts and Creativity: Explore your artistic side in our ceramics and porcelain workshop, where you can try out pottery, we have recently started this craft making - so either you learn with us, or you teach us.
  
  • Language and Culture: While we speak English, you’ll have the chance to practice basic Norwegian if you’d like, and we’re happy to teach you some everyday phrases and cultural insights. You’ll also learn about local traditions, holidays, and customs that make Norwegian culture unique.
  
  • Seasonal Highlights: Depending on the time of year, you might experience berry picking, mushroom foraging, or preparing for Norwegian seasonal festivities like Christmas or Easter. These traditions are an integral part of Norwegian culture and a wonderful way to engage with the local way of life.

  Unterkunft

  You will stay in our charming guesthouse, located on our small farm, providing you with a cozy and private space to relax after a day of exploring or helping out. The guesthouse includes:
  
  • Sleeping Loft: A small and cozy loft bedroom, perfect for one or two people. Please note that the stairs to the loft are steep, so it may not be ideal for those with mobility challenges.
  
  • Living Area and Kitchen: A shared open-plan space with a comfortable sitting area and a functional kitchen. Here, you can cook your own meals and enjoy quite time
  
  • Bathroom: A private bathroom with all essential amenities, ensuring you have everything you need for a comfortable stay.
  
  The guesthouse is simple but homey, and while it offers privacy, it’s important to note that the floors are not soundproof, so it can feel like being in the same space between floors within this house.
  
  Some evenings, we’ll share dinner together in our main house, giving you a chance to connect with us over a good meal. On other days, you’ll have access to a fully stocked fridge and kitchen in the guesthouse to prepare your own meals.
  
  This setup allows you to enjoy a balance of independence and family life during your stay.
