Description
Hi, I’m Sidsel. I am 50 years old, and recently moved to Sandefjord and am in the middle of a writing process with some projects that take much of my time. Because of a ruptured Achilles, I’m not very mobile right now – so I could use some help with cleaning, shopping and a few practical things. If you have a car, it would be wonderful if you could also help with errands and maybe join me for small trips to explore the area.
I live in a small, cosy house in the town center with 3 bedrooms, a kitchen and a bathroom. There’s a parking space available for a normal car. Sharing the house with us is my friendly Norwegian Forest cat.
Sandefjord is a charming coastal town with beaches, cafés and an open atmosphere. There are fine train connections to Oslo and Kristiansand, and Torp airport is nearby. Telemark’s mountains and nature are only 1–2 hours away by car.
I enjoy good company, but I also need time for my writing. So you’ll have both independence and some cosy moments together. Hopefully you’ll feel at home here while also enjoying the beauty of Norway.
Warm wishes,
Sidsel

I am a warm and engaged host.
I live close to the nature, to Sandefjord city and to public transports, so you will be able to go out and see a lot of things easily.
I can help you finding good tours, if you like.
I am adventurous and would love to learn about your culture, and teach you about mine.
Help
Housework like cleaning and tidying up, sewing curtains, helping me being well installed in my new house. This could include some DIY.

I am Danish, even I live in Norway. So if you study Danish, I would love to help you. I would love to learn your language, especially the Latin languages.
Accommodation
Two private 1 bed rooms and possibility of mattresses. The bedrooms are upstairs, and the staircase has narrow steps. It’s perfectly fine for most people, but it may be challenging if you have reduced mobility. If needed, I’m happy to rearrange the rooms, so just let me know in advance.
We eat breakfast together at 8-9, dinner about 12 and supper around 4-6 pm. I like to make healthy and green food, mainly vegetarian. I am flexible about your needs. If you want expensive foods, please help with buying foods sometimes, since I live on a low budget.

I live in Sandefjord. From Torp or Oslo airport you can go by train. Buy ticket on the app VY.
You can also take the ferry from Hirtshals (Denmark) to Larvik and take a bus.
