    Description

    Come join with some garden and house projects and discover beautifully island Radøy, north from Bergen.

    Here you can enjoy peacefull nature, with a lot of paths and hiking possibilities on the island, and live near the sea. Maybe you like fishing or take a swim?
    If you want to visit Bergen it's a little more then one hour drive. ( longer with bus)

    You will stay with me and my cat Elvis. I have some garden projects that I would like to have some help with, and maybe some painting, work with greenhouse and grow some organic vegetable and herbs, and bring things up and down from the parking. ( It's a few minutes on a path)

    I have a sup board and a kayak you can use. It can be beautifully sunsets. Also possible with fire outside and barbeque.
    It's ok for one or two persons to come, you will share room, but the bed can be divided in two if preferred.

    I can offer work 2 hours day in 5 day week for room, and bring and make your own food. If you want free one day and work longer another, I'm flexible :)
    You must also like cats as Elvis stays here too.
    Looking forward to hear from you.
    Available time may- september.
    Prefer from 2 days stays up to two weeks.

    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    The island is perfect for hiking, fishing. There are also possible to go around other places as the island is connected with bridges.
    It's also not far from the city Bergen where you can see more of museums and so.
