Description
Norwegian countryside lifestyle with fishing and freediving for our own consumption and leisure.
Hei, I’m Adrian — a Norwegian arborist living on a small homestead outside Bergen, close to the sea and strong tidal currents where I spend much of my free time fishing and freediving.
Growing up, my father taught me practical skills, woodworking, and how to repair things in his garage. As a teenager, I worked as a freediving instructor, and I still enjoy a simple and nature-based lifestyle today.
I enjoy practical work, ocean life, cooking, quiet evenings, and good conversations. Life here is calm, simple, and closely connected to nature.
I value honesty, respect, responsibility, loyalty, and simple living. I naturally get along best with people who enjoy nature, practical work, calm routines, and traditional values.
By welcoming people into my home, I enjoy exchanging knowledge, culture, language, and experiences.
If you enjoy nature, simple living, and authentic cultural exchange, you will probably feel at home here.

Help
I am looking for practical and motivated people who enjoy nature, learning new skills, and helping with everyday life on a small Norwegian homestead.
Tasks vary depending on season and weather, but may include:
Fishing:
Preparing fish and equipment
Maintaining fishing gear and boats
Filleting fish and cooking seafood
Forest work:
Clearing branches and brush
Preparing firewood
Splitting and stacking wood
Cooking & house tasks:
Cooking and baking
Gardening
Cleaning and painting
Homestead projects:
Maintenance and restoration of the old house and property
Video & photography: I enjoy documenting projects and nature life, so guests with photography or videography skills are welcome.
Yoga & breathing: If you have experience with yoga or breathing techniques, I would be happy to learn from you.
Most tasks require that you are comfortable helping independently and taking normal responsibility in daily life.
Experience with practical work, cooking, or living independently is appreciated, but attitude matters more than perfection.
This is not a business. The homestead is a private home focused on simple living, nature, self-sufficiency, and cultural exchange.

Accommodation
Accommodation & Lifestyle
You will stay in a traditional Norwegian house from the 1800s.
All guests are provided with their own bed, clean bedding, and linen.
The lifestyle here is simple, peaceful, and countryside-oriented.
Much of the food is self-supplied and inspired by traditional West Norwegian food culture. I fish, hunt, and prepare much of the food myself. Meals are usually simple homemade food such as fish, meat, potatoes, bread, and seasonal ingredients.
There are supermarkets nearby for additional needs.
The house is usually quiet after 22:00, since we live a calm lifestyle and often start the day early.

Applying
If this lifestyle sounds interesting, I look forward to hearing from you.
Please keep your application short and simple.
You can briefly write about:
Your hobbies and interests
Previous work experience

Why this lifestyle interests you
I usually prefer hosting solo travellers because of space and group dynamics, although exceptions can sometimes be made.
Flexible or last-minute requests often work best.
I normally plan 1–2 weeks ahead, sometimes longer depending on schedules and compatibility.
I try to reply quickly. If you do not receive a reply within 7 days, please continue your search for another host.
Everyone is welcome to apply regardless of age, gender, nationality, or experience.

The work was mostly around the pigs: sorting fruits, feed them and give water, sorting fruits, building… read more

I worked together with Arthur on the farm for about a month. He was travelling with his self-built VW camper. I find his travel project very cool, and we have like-minded interest, so we got very good along. He is very independent, and can fix unexpected challenges and problems. He is very comfortable and calm to live together with.
He can work… read more

Planning my trip to Scandinavia, I decided to stay for four weeks in Norway at Adrian’s farm.
Well, in the end, four weeks became six! Adrian was such a welcoming and friendly host that I immediately felt comfortable staying with him.

Last spring Aaron worked with me for 6 weeks. He helped me at the farm with feeding the pigs, construction work, working in the forest, and rebuilding a fishingboat.
He works very independent. He drove here with his car, full with fishing equipment. He brought his chainsaw protection gear so he was able to work full days with clearing the forest.… read more

Daniel was at the farm for around 3 weeks. It went super!
He is an really easygoing guy, who works fast and independent.
He helped me with some really heavy work: Building walls for a garage and other sement work, construction work (designing and building houses for the animals), high pressure washing a barn...

Julia worked at the farm last summer, and did a supreme job!
Julia works fast and organized, and could easily create order out of mess. She found solutions at first glance that even I didnt see!
She also has good working experience from farms in Switzerland. This describes her ability to work very hard, especially when it matters. In this case… read more

Clara was my second workawayer I had on the farm, and I must say it went very good!
It did not took long time before she learned the routines on the farm. Clara is a person that sees what has to be done, and she does it without telling her. It was reassuring for me, as a host, to know that the the work she did was proper done. She is also a good… read more

Staying with Adrian was my first Workaway experience and I don't regret it. There were always two workawayers at his farm. We ate everyday together and cooked a lot of good and healthy food. He also has a lot of fruits therefore you can make jam and juice. The place where he lives is very beautiful, calm and diverse. You can see the sea from his… read more
