Description
Im looking for someone as soon as possible . 2 or 3 workawayers will work together. I need someone whom is healthy and have some physical strength, because it will be some lifting of materials and digging. This spring the project is to build a pergola in the garden.
My name is Mari, I am a teacher in Norwegian, 65 years old, strong and healthy, busy and active. I have been travelling to many countries, love vegetarian kitchen but vegan cooking is no problem, practising yoga and meditation, having 3 lovely grandsons, mostly happy, have a cat and a small car. Love gardening, skiing and walks in nature.

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
I'm vegetarian, we only make vegetarian 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.
Languages spoken
English: Fluent

Accommodation
For accommodating workawayers I have some options: A wooden private house in the garden (like the Hobbit) or a room inside of my house, as you can find on the pictures.
What else ...
I ned 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 🙂
