Description
I am Bente or Shanti.
I live in a beautiful place by the sea in Hallangspollen, close to the small town Drøbak. It takes only half an hour with bus from Oslo to get here. I love to have the view of the sea, go down every morning and take a swim. 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. But if 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 4 km to shop) There are forests with good walking trails.Types of help and learning opportunities

I love being with people from other cultures. I am a travveller, and I always connect to the local people of the places that I visit. I am a yoga teacher and I like to share And I can take workawayers to the sinema or a concert in the area
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)
