Description
I'm self-employed within IT. Doing recurring task and freelance work. Have a house on a small island where you will live. Due to personal reasons, I'm also taking care of my mothers house and garden.
This is to much work, so I'm searching for assistance, to handle the high number of tasks I need to handle when it comes to maintenance and improvement.
Types of help and learning opportunities
Gardening
DIY and building projects
Help around the house
General Maintenance
Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
Learn how it is to live in a small island with 200 people, far away in the North Atlantic. Meet a different culture where nature rules. Come in contact with nature, get peace in mind, visit this remote place before all the tourists.
I will be with you most of the time, but as a independent worker, there will be days, when I leave early and return late.
Help
House is 60 years old and the garden always need maintenance. Depending on your skill set the task will be going from novice to expert.
Examples of task in the house would be cleaning and cooking
May be grinding, pressure washing and painting.
Garden can always be maintained or improved.

Accommodation
Shared house at your disposal. You will have your own room, internet and local TV.
Sometimes there may be other guest as a rooms are also rented out. When this happens, you will have accommodation in the other house.
Food we need to plan, as some days I will be travelling.
The house has an amazing view and many of my gusts sits for day and just look out the window. Outside the window you will see to the capital Tórshavn and there are a lot of animals like: seals, whales, sheep, one lama, fishes and birds.
What else ...
Make sure that you also see most of the islands.
If you are a vegetarian living is expensive and to some degree challenging. We only grow potatoes and some carrots locally and the rest is imported. The cost of imported goods is high and limited.
