    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 the house.
    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/ all the year.
    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 if whether and time of year is ok, 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.

    It's always good to come with a car so it's easyer to get around the islands and discover, but there are also bus, but not to often.

    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 3 or 5 hour work days (food included or not)
    If it's something you cannot do or cannot eat.
    It's good if you can bring some clothes to work in.

    Looking forward to hear from you.
