  Description

  As a small family of three, my mother, brother, and I warmly welcome you to our home. Our beloved cat Sam is a friendly addition to our household, and we love having him around. Personally, I have a passion for learning new languages, with a particular interest in the North Germanic languages. I can speak Norwegian and have a good understanding of other North Germanic languages thanks to my proficiency in Norwegian. In my free time, I enjoy immersing myself in music, poetry, and literature, and I am always open to sharing these interests with our guests. We look forward to hosting you and sharing our culture with you.

  What else ...

  If you're looking for ways to spend your time off, we have plenty of options available. We have a piano, guitar, ukulele, and violin at our home, so you're welcome to play any of them whenever you like. We also have a library with books in various languages for you to enjoy. When it comes to transportation, we're conveniently located just a 2-minute walk from the nearest bus station. If you want to take the subway, it's a 20-minute walk from our home (or just 5 minutes by bus), and from there, it's only a 10-15 minute ride to the nearest train station. There are plenty of local sights to explore as well, and we'll be happy to give you some recommendations and help you plan your outings.
