Description
We are Maria (54) and Leivur (58) and son Martin (17). Leivur is a sailor and Maria works in an office. Martin is still in school and lives at home. Our house is in the centre of our cosy capital Torshavn - in walking distance to nice restaurants and cafés. We enjoy meeting people from all over the world and would like to get a little help around the house. We live in quiet and beautiful surroundings although we live in the centre. We have no pets. We are slowly remodeling our house. Our house needs paint on the outside and our garden needs som love and care. If you have carpentry skills, gardening skills, would like to help in or around the house while enjoying yourself on our beautiful islands we just might be a perfect match! We can accommodate one or two people - either a couple or close friends for a few days or a few weeks.
