Description
Hello! My name is Anna, I'm 29 years old and I just bought my first house - a farm right next to the beautiful Ofoten fjord! I grew up just a few minutes drive from the house, but after living all over the world for ten years I decided to move back home last year.
I love culture, art and good music - and I get to work with that everyday through my job as a festival producer. I also love to cook good food and invite my friends over or have a cozy weekend at our family cabin in the mountains. I travel a bit for my work so you have to expect to be alone at some times, I am rarely gone for more than a few consecutive days.
===============
from January to March 2024 my friends dog will be staying while they are traveling in India.

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
I have traveled a lot and I love meeting new people!I have done Workaway myself so can appreciate the importance of good communication as well as being included in the daily activities and having a connection to the people you are staying with.
During the summer I can take you fishing on the fjord, hiking and tenting up in the mountains or you could volunteer or visit the festival i work for! In the winter you can see the aurora (the northern lights) from the hot tub, go skiing, ice bathing and swim in the snow after using the sauna at the family cabin.
Lofoten is just a few hours away, so going there for a weekend trip is a must when coming here! Wether you are here for the midnight sun in the summer or the aurora in the winter I promise that you will get an experience unlike any other, the arctic is a magical place year round!
Help
In an old house there is always things to do! Renovation work and getting the house in order is the main task, but everything from painting a room, building and fixing things, some gardening, tidying, organizing and other small things are also going to be important. In the fall, from about August to October, some of the work will consist of help with picking berries and mushrooms as well as taking care of the meat after the year's moose hunt which starts at the end of september each year.
