  Description

  I am Bente or Shanti.
  I live in a beautiful place by the sea in Hallangspollen, close to the small town Drøbak.
  It is a beuatiful place. I have had very nice Work Away people here this summer, up until 4. October. They have loved staying here ! Now the season is over and I travel myself for the winter. I leave the 20 Oct. I need no more WorkAway-help in the winter.
  If you like to help with cutting trees and scopping wood (I have a scopping-machine) you can contact me in March 2026
  
  My house is half an hour with bus from Oslo.
  I have ta lovely view of the sea, and I go for a swim every morning. And then I do some yoga exercises in the sun after the bath.
  
  I have 2 cayaks by the water, which can be used by my visitors. This is a summer-house area, and a very quiet place. I have a greenhouse and a garden, and I grow salads, herbs, tomatoes, cucumbers and red peppers. I love being here in the summer. And f I go visiting others a week or two, I need somebody to water the plants. I have a electric bike, so visitors easily can go shopping (about 3 km to shop) There are forests with good walking trails.

  Help

  I need help with chopping wood (from the end of August my wood copping machine will be here) And I have started the process of painting my house. The walls are cleaned I have started painting. I like to paint and with another person to help it will be more fun ( you do not need to go on the ladder for the higher areas, which I do myself)
