    Description

    Hi!

    We are a family of four residing in Western Norway. Victoria (29), Daniel (32), and our two small children born in 2023 and 2024. We bought our house in 2021, and have done some light renovation - but we still have some rooms left! Having kids this close together has disrupted our plans, and we are in need of some assistance to get things done around here.

    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    You can learn a lot about traditional Norwegian cooking from me, as well as the language!

    Our area is really beautiful, and we see loads of tourists come to see the cities and sights nearby.

    We offer a car for our guests, with baby/child car seats if necessary. You can drive around the area to visit Trollstigen, The Atlantic Road, Molde, Ona, Ålesund, Valldal, Eikesdal, Geiranger... many amazing places!

  • Help

    Help

    We will need help building a chicken coop and vegetable garden, doing yard tasks, staining/painting the terrace, changing some floors, tearing down wallpaper and painting. We are also wanting to redo one of our bathrooms, so if there is anyone out there who knows how to lay tiles, it would be a huge plus! We also have an off-grid mountain cabin that would need some paint.

    Ideally, we are looking for a couple or a small family to come stay with us for a few weeks, up to maybe a month. Our kids are not in daycare, so if you have small children it's very suitable. But if you are a solo traveller with the skills we look for, feel free to send us a message.

    ALSO: if you are an artist with skills to paint a mural for a childrens bedroom, we are VERY interested. You wouldn't need to do any of the other help (unless you want to!).

    Accommodation

    We have two bedrooms available in our house, each with a double bed. We have a bedside crib for babies, and a travel cot for toddlers to set up. One of the bedrooms has a balcony and a workstation for digital nomads. All food will be provided. We cook all meals from scratch, and have home baked breads, homemade yogurt and cultured milk. We also eat a lot of fruits, which you can help yourself to outside of meals. We enjoy having meals together as a family, and you would be part of our family for your stay!
