  Description

  Hi i am 29 years old, live with my two dogs in a house with forest around me. i like hiking or doing daily trips with my two dogs, during winter i spend more time crosscountry skiing.
  
  i have plans on building a greenhouse and growing more off my own food. also have plans on building a pizza/baking oven inside the greenhouse when it's done. Also have some forestry to get done this winter so if you have experience with taking down trees you will be of great help.
  
  i have chickens, ducks and some sheep during the summer.
  
  i like to be busy with some diy, gardening, making different stuff.
  
  in the evnings i like to knit and eat a good dinner.
  
  i work full time at a garden senter. So whoever stays here will have to manage their own time during daytime. There is a lot off small tasks to do so i think it will suite most people.
  
  I have previously traveled a bit, also lived and worked in New Zealand for 1 year. I like meeting new people and learning about different cultures and languages.

  i am located in a small town called Skånevik, it is about 2 hours drive from the airport in Haugesund. Or 3 hours from Bergen which will be the easiest place to travel to, from Bergen you can take a boat that takes you all the way too Skånevik.
  Skånevik is a small place with some local transport with bus. grocery store 15 min walk into town, in the town you have a bakery, sometimes the local bar has live music on saturdays. there are many mountains to go hiking from my house. i do like to go on hiking trips or skiing on the weekends in the winter so you are welcome to join me and see some nice places on the west coast.
