    Description

    We are a couple in our 30s and startet on our farm adventure in 2021. Right now it's mostly Nils living here, and Mirjam comes in the weekends. We live about 2 hours south of Trondheim, a little higher altitude, countryside. There is an old barn, a cabin in the mountains, grassland, forest, a garage and the house. The house is partly from 1927 and partly from 1977. It's a lot of work and a long winter, but we like it here.

    We do enjoy our breaks, free time and holidays. We like dumpster diving, board games, traveling, music, concerts, gaming, food, hiking and learning new stuff. In the evenings we enjoy talking with our guests, playing board games and watching movies. Some times we go on excursions with our guests to show of the local area or region.

    We have traveled, hosted and volunteered ourselves many times in different parts of the world. We actually met 10 years ago through CouchSurfing :) This year Nils has also tried being a worker at some WorkAways in Europe.

    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    We can teach you about Norwegian life, language and traditions and would love to hear and learn from you. Nils is reading a lot of history and has a special interest in that. We can talk a lot about viking history :)

    The region here is full of traditional food, beautiful nature and history. It's an old farming region where the animals stayed in the mountains during summer. Some farmers keep this tradition alive by bringing their animals to a national park in the region. That's also where our cabin is located since previous owners also had a summer farm up there.

    Both Røros and Trondheim are about two hours away and definitely also worth a visit.

  • Help

    Help

    We are currently renovating the house and are in need of some helping hands and creative minds. It's a DIY project which means we do everything ourselves, piece by piece. We're self-taught with help and advice from friends and family. For more complicated tasks we hire local firms. You will be a helping hand (sending up materials, taking measurements etc), so no previous (construction) knowledge needed. Unless something special is happening, we always do tasks together with our guests. All physical tasks are outside.

    Plans in 2026:
    This spring we need help with moving logs, moving sand and soil, and moving firewood. The tasks can be heavy, especially moving the logs. We also hope to put down some potatoes and other plants, but thats on the side.

  • Accommodation

    Accommodation

    We have 1 WorkAway-rooms in our house. Quite spacious. You'll have your own bathroom as well.

    We are dumpster divers, so 95% of the food is saved from the bins. We have 3 shared meals a day. There is always more than enough food in this house. Our diet depends on what we find, which also includes meat. We don't buy any though. We prefer to host people who eat everything but can host vegetarians.

    Our freegan lifestyle is mostly not compatible with strict vegan lifestyle.

  • What else ...

    What else ...

    Nature, nature, nature

    Trips to places in the region (Trondheim and Røros is close and recommended). We live two hours south of Trondheim (by bus). The nearest busstop and train station is 4km down the mountain (usually we can drive you). Unfortunately there are only few departures per day.

    We have a big library of english, german and norwegian books and comics that you can read.

    If you have a car there is a really lovely 1-2 day route you can take to see some rally nice mountains and fjords.
