    Description

    I’m a 45 year old woman living in Bergen. I have an 11 year old son who lives with me every other week and a beautiful cat.
    I work as a service designer and I’m into self development, spirituality, crafts, interior, being in nature and conversations about almost everything (except sports and insurances!)

    I live in a nice flat on the ground floor with direct access to a large beautiful garden, ten minutes by tram from the city center and close to the mount Ulriken.

    I host workawayers for one week at a time when my son is not here (could be longer in the summer time when we’re away). Tasks will be to help me decorate the flat, simple house tasks, looking after my cat etc. If you’re good at carpenting it’s great but generally I’m just looking for kind and positive people!

    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    I’m an open minded person and I love to learn new perspectives on the world and people. Similarly I love to share my own experiences and ideas about life, that is not mainstream. I’m interested in psychology, design, human behavior and spirituality. I have lived abroad for ten years and speak fluently English. Originally from North Norway and will be able to share a lot of cultural knowledge.

    On your time off you can visit the city center (10 mins away on tram) or go hiking in the mountains nearby. There is a shopping center very close by. Also many supermarkets, international food shops, restaurants and a nice second hand shop.

    I’m also interested in finding someone to look after my cat when I go away.
