Description
Aloha! ***** (Please read description in order to be considered)
We are a family of 5 living on the beautiful island of Oahu. We’ve been workaway hosts for 7 years and have loved the exchange with fellow adventurers and travelers!
I am from Norway originally and came to Hawaii to study. I've been here for 12 years and my husband has been here for 14 years and he is from New York.
You would be a great fit with us if:
- You’ve traveled on your own before and have that independent self starter personality
- You always do your best
- Care about the people around you & want to create meaningful relationships
————
Both of us are super busy but when we aren't working we are just hanging out with our boys who are 7 years old, 4 years old and 7 months old.

What else ...
Our Location:
The area consists mostly of townhouses. Our neighboorhood is quiet, nice and clean and most of the people who live here are in the military or locals.
Our location is on west Oahu away from the tourists and city life. Getting to the middle of the tourist hub, of for example Waikiki, would be a 35 min drive.
We have access to a private beach lagoon down the road that has beach lounge chairs, paddle boards, kayaks etc.
A 10 min drive away is a brand new mall with shops and restaurants. A short drive away is Ko'olina lagoons which offers picture perfect beaches and a relaxing atmosphere, great for hanging out, picnic, running etc.
Getting around:
The bus runs from the main road and you can walk there in 30 -40minutes. Public transportation out here is very time consuming and since we are away from the city it will take some time getting around. The best way to see the island and do fun activities is by car!
Activities:
There are plenty of things to do on the island, especially outdoors for those looking to save money. Hiking, snorkeling and beach lounging are all free activities and fun! There's also possibilities to rent surf board, stand up paddle board, kayak around the island.
There are also plenty of tours that will take you shark diving, see dolphins, explore famous landmarks etc.
Bus transportation is available around the island, but it is VERY time consuming and we highly recommend renting a car!
Social:
People in Hawai'i are known to be friendly and outgoing and it's easy to make friends because many are here traveling, some go to school and some are here for short amounts of time for work.A little more information
