    I'm vegan we only make vegan food in the house.
    I do yoga in the morning and you are welcome to join. I do know a lot about gardening and cooking. I bake delicious bread and cook food in a healthy way.
    I use the nature around here as much I can, so you can join me on my mushroom hunts or collecting herbs.
    I can show you some beautiful viewpoints and waterfalls.

    Help

    I live in a big property where there always are things to do!
    In the winter I'd need more inside support, like repairing, painting, organising, general maintenance, etc.
    In the summer, more outside support like gardening, harvesting, growing vegetables, all in a organic way. I'm creating a permaculture garden. You can see pictures of workaway projects that have been done.

  • What else ...

    What else ...

    I need visitors that are healthy, physical and mentally strong and like to be a lot outside in nature in all kind of weather. From oktober to april we have beautifull winter weather often with snow and -5 to -20 degrees.

    This place is less than one hour drive from Oslo. Its going busses to Drammen every hour.The nature around here is beautiful. Its quiet and the air is very clean. There are lakes and forest water to swim in, but I do also have a swimming pool in the garden. You can borrow my bicycle.

    Welcome into my busy daily life 🙂
