    Description

    Hello travellers - and welcome to Fyn, near Svendborg :-)

    We are a female, funny, friendly, curious, well travelled and easy going couple: Ninna (accountant + musician) and Bente (sculptor + social artist) and our three darling cats. We are a kind of getting older (seenagers...) but still vibrant and young at heart :-)) We run an organic, vegetarian and very sustainable home.

    We're inviting preferably two travellers at a time for minimum 2 weeks, to our lovely old cottage in a lively village (Vester Skerninge) right between Svendborg and Faaborg.

    We value mutual social and cultural exchange. Talking, sharing life stories, playing board games, enjoying good laughs, and sharing evening meals are all important and natural parts of hosting workawayers. We also value quiet shared moments. We're both skilled with our hands and love sharing our knowledge, teaching you a trick or two along the way.

    In exchange for 5 hours of help a day, 5 days a week, you get:

    - Great vegetarian, homemade food and a sustainable lifestyle / household.
    - Flexibility, good fun, open minds.
    - Free wi-fi and access to computer.
    - A very nice and big room with a huge bed.
    - Two bicycles + helmets.
    - 4 km. beautiful country ride to the sea or forest.
    - 10 km. to Svendborg and Faaborg, 45 km. to Odense.
    - Hundreds of wonderful sceneries, old castles and places to visit in the area.
    - Busstop to Svendborg and Faaborg just 1 min. away.
    - Access / workspace in Bentes 400m2 workshop right the harbour in Svendborg.
    - You are free to manage your own time and to schedule your helping hours as it suits you.
    - One of us is usually works from home during daytime.

    We prefer travellers who:

    - Are used to working with their hands,
    - Have a strong work ethic and high standards (we do! 😊)
    - Are driven by self motivation and independency.
    - Like flexibility, good shared moments and open attitudes.
    - Show an outgoing, serious but also fun attitude :-)
    - Speak a fairly good English and can communicate openly.
    - Like gardening and weeding. The garden is beautiful and not too big.
    - Like to learn and listen.
    - Will give a hand or two with cooking good food and cleaning the house from time to time.

    Looking forward to hearing from you and to welcoming you to our paradise :-)

    Have a safe and fun journey whereever you're going.

    Blessings
    Ninna & Bente

    PS. We can of course pick you up / drop you off in our electric car. Smoking is ok outdoors. No drugs what so ever. All questions are welcome. Thanks.
