Description
Come join with some garden and house projects and discover beautifully island Radøy and other islands north from Bergen.
Here you can enjoy peacefull nature, with a lot of paths and hiking possibilities on the island. You will live near the sea and the house has a path in the gras from the parking. Maybe you like fishing or take a swim, yoga, or just relax with a book in the hammock in the forest📖🌳🌲 If you are lucky you will see some beautiful sunsets too🌅
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. Projects can be:
Help in the greenhouse
Help with herb garden/ garden
Cleaning inside/ outside
Bring things up and down from the parking. ( It's a few minutes on a path) Organizing cellar and inside
Small building projects
Cutting hedge and bushes
Cutting grass.
Make food.
Painting inside/ outside.
Make wood
The task may not be the same all the time.
You will mostly work alone, I will guide and sometimes join.
Some of the tasks requires good health/ strength.
I also have a sup board and a kayak you can use, and it's possible to use the fire pit outside and have a 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 to options:
1. Help 3 hours day in 5 day week for only room, and bring and make your own food. If you want free one day and work longer another, I'm flexible.
2. Help 5 hour day, 5 days a week and get all the meals.
If you want free/ shorter one day and work longer another, I'm flexible :)
The nearest grocery is 10 minutes by car.
You must also like cats as Elvis stays here too.
If you like to stay, let me know:
A little about you and your skills.
Witch dates preferred, how long.
If you want 2 or 5 hour work days (food included or not)
If you have work clothes/ boots and if you need something, ( size)
If it's something you cannot do or cannot eat.
Looking forward to hear from you.
