We'd love company from May 23 – July 5 (week 27). Possibly through July 12, but we will be on a road trip for 1 week.
Hi! 👋
We are Jan, Susan, and sometimes our son Rasmus, living in the peaceful Danish countryside with 3 dogs, 1 cat, and many other friendly animals. 🐕 🐈
🏡 We have a big house and a big piece of land (9.3 ha ≈ 23 acres), which requires a lot to maintain. Jan always has new projects on the way to make the place even nicer to live in. 🔨
🌱 We moved here in July 2022 to create our dream home; there's never a shortage of projects or things to enjoy!
🐾 We love animals and have many friendly pets, and they're excited to meet you!
🐕 Everyday we walk around the grounds with our 3 dogs and 1 cat, and they all love to accompany us the whole way.
🔍 We are looking for two responsible adults (preferably with a car) to share countryside life with us and help with general maintenance around our home.
🌾 We'd love to have you here to help us around the countryside and enjoy the birds whistling and the fresh air.
