  Description

  We are a family of four, me, my mother, my daughter and a small dog.
  We have lived together in our house for four years, I’m a stay at home mom, my mother is retired and my daughter is six.
  I am a spiritual person, I'm in to self development and shamanism. I like to work out and I like to relax. I'm maybe a bit strange to some people, but I am very friendly when you get to know me. I sing and make music as well.
  My mother is a retired teacher and athlete. She is 70, but she does not act like one! Driving around on her motorcycle she is happy about being an unconventional retiree. She is very active and always working on some project. She is very knowledgable and we have all the tools we need to build things.
  we are generally an adaptable and easy going family. Good communication is the key ingredient to make any relationship work, and we try our best to make a good life for ourselves.
  Our house is a newly built (2021) module house from Sweden, it’s situated on the edge of a forest and near the Oslo fjord. It has one big living space with living room and kitchen, three bedrooms and bathroom on the ground floor.
  Our mobile home will be where you sleep, but the house is avaible to you at any time.

  Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

  Nesodden is a peninsula situated right south of Oslo. It has beautiful nature and the Oslofjord on either side. We live 15 mins with a car from Drøbak witch has some cultural sights, including a fort and a small aquarium with nordic species of fish. Here on Nesodden I recommend going to Spro gruve and Spro beach, it is a beach made of crystals!! The peninsula is sometimes called "the crystal Island" since there are a couple of crystal oars going thru the bedrock here. There are many beaches too choose from, we have a canoe if you are interested in canoeing on the ocean or a lake, and there are countless trails in the forests nearby. There is also an old settlement area nearby with settlements from the iron age. This area is so calm and beautiful during the summer and we love staying at home. Why go on holiday when it's so nice to stay here!
  
  My mom is a very kind and knowledgable woman, she was an active dog sleigh rider for big parts of her life and won several competitions including Norwegian and Nordic championships. She is very practical and usually has a project or two cooking, she always has a story from her own life to share.
  I'm educated a life coach, an alternative therapist and Craniosacral therapist. I'm in to human design, meditation and yoga, and I LOVE to chant and sing. We have a very active spiritual tribe here and I can introduce you to events and gatherings that happen frequently.
