    Hi, i am Harro, 50 years old male.

    Recently i bought my current house in Leeuwarden, the "capital" (small town) of the province Friesland. Once the cultural capital of Europe ( while ago).

    A " workawayer" is welcome to stay in my house for some help with for instance painting, gardening,or with one of my boats, cleaning, cooking. Most important is that both work a wayer and I enjoy.

    No smoking please ( outside you can offcourse) and no hard drugs or excessive alcohol usage.

    Please be openminded, for racism, facism, hate or negativity there is no space in my house.

    Overly sensitive or " woke" people might not be at the right place with me.
    I do appreciate a good joke ( i am gay but love gay jokes), discussion and very much like to play the devils advocate though 😅. Everything coming from a good heart though.

    The province Friesland is mostly grassland and has a lot waterways, lakes, canals etc and some cute old (fishing) villages and town.

    I'll be happy to show you around when i have time available. This season i work as an harbourmaster in a nearby village.
    During the other months i like to travel.

    If you have a car there is free, but limited parking in my street ( no space for (camper)vans unfortunately.

    There is a trainstation in Leeuwarden, good bus connections and in town you can walk or I can arrange a bicycle for you.

    You can use one of the bedrooms (as a private quarter) in my house and offcourse the rest of the house too.

    How will food work: there is always food in the fridge. At times we can join at breakfast, lunch and sometimes dinner. But I often work during the evening. Then you should prepare it for yourself.

    If you have any questions just message me i'll be happy to answer them.

    Pictures of one of the rooms. Offcourse it will be more ready before you arrive 😊

    Do note that from October until March i am probably travelling and my response sometimes might take a bit longer.

    Happy to hear from you!

  • Unterkunft

    Unterkunft

    I recently bought a small house with four bedrooms a 15 meter deep garden. Still in a very basic condition. But everything needed like kitchen, bathroom (shower), central heating, woodstove are there.

    The house was in a bad state when i bought it. For instance i already removed over 10 tonnes of " things" and rubbish out of my garden.

    The house is clean, safe and technically in good condition. But it needs painting on the interior, gardenening etc.

    Shared breakfast, lunch and sometimes dinners. That is when i am there. I often work during the evening. So then you'll have to cook for yourself.
    Special wishes can be talked about. I am NOT vegan or vegetarian.

    You are welcome to use one of the bedrooms, as your private quarters, and offcourse the rest of the house.

    It would be greatly appreciated if you would help keeping the house clean and once in would be willing to cook.

    Friesland is a tourist province. Grasslands, lakes, canals, rivers. Old town, city centers, fishing villages.Perfect for hiking & cycling or sailing.

    Leeuwarden has a trainstation ( good connection Amsterdam, Schiphol airport and the rest of the country.
    Busses go regularly.
    For more local transport. In town walking is nice or using a bicycle. I can arrange a simple bicycle if wanted.

    Pick up from the trainstation when you arrive is no problem offcourse.

    You can park a car for free in the street near my house, but unfortunately vans and campervans aren't allowed to stay.
