Beschreibung
We are a retired couple who have an older house in Salhus. Salhus is located in the western part of Norway and about 20 km outside Bergen city and by one of the beautiful fjords of western Norway. It is only about 60 meters to the bus stop where you can take a bus to Bergen city.
We have had good help from workaway people for several years now and met many incredibly nice people. This year we hope to meet new ones, and it would be nice if someone could help us with some painting and maintenance of the house and garden, and some tidying and cleaning.
We have cats in the house, so it may be a problem if you are allergic.
We also have some chickens. The chickens are on our farm in the summer, but in the winter we have them in a small chicken coop behind our house in Salhus.
You will be served a selection of Norwegian food, but we will of course try to cook food that you also like.
We usually eat the main meals together with our guests, but you are free to cook your own food if you prefer. And we appreciate it if you make your own breakfast and evening meals as it makes it much easier for us.

There is the possibility of hiking in mountains and nature.
Bathe in the sea (if the weather and the temperature is nice).
There is a bathing place 100 meters below the house, or you can go to a sea bath in the city.
And there is the possibility of fishing.
Salhus is located on the outskirts of Bergen city, which is the second largest city in Norway.
So you have the opportunity to see the city if you want.
Bergen is an old city and therefore a much-visited tourist destination.

We have an older house and a minimal garden that would be nice to get some help with.
