    Hi
    I am a single mother of 2, a 6 year old boy and an 19yr old girl.
    I am originally from Kenya in Africa but have lived in Norway for over 15years in a small village called Karasjok Norway which lies in the arctic circle. The village has a population of about 2700 people mainly the Sami aboriginals and have the Sami language as their first language, but Norwegian and English are languages that most people use.
    If you are interested in learning about other peoples cultures, play in the snow ans see northern lights, this is definitely a place to be and will be humbled to host anyone with interest.
    More so if interested in language exchange, you are welcome to contact me.

    I’m interested in hosting one person at a time preferably a lady over 22yrs of age and must like children. House chores as well as snow shoveling are the main duties in my household. I do not have a business so it’s purely housework in general.

    I currently have a Workerwayer and don’t have a vacation now but I will update my profile when appropriate

    Regards Anne
