Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
It is mainly up to you :-) I am used to people from various backgrounds and cultures as I was active hosting travelers (couchsurfing) and traveled quite a bit myself. You can learn Norwegian if you wish and I can happily share with you my experience with moving to and living in Norway, as well as my travel stories, if you are interested.
There is an abundance of opportunities for hiking, skiing and fishing right outside the door.
Help
I need mainly help with tasks around the house, maintanence and carpentry. Some building skills would be nice.
In winter, I would ask you to move the snow, if it is necessary and in summer to mow the lawn (once a month).

Accommodation
OBS! I don't host smokers, even if you smoke outside.
I am living in the town close to everything, but still in a very quiet area, close to the shore. You will have your own bedroom and share the rest of the house with me.
What else ...
I have great experience as a couchsurfing host, so I am used to meting new people and having them in my house.
When I came to Norway I was staying 1,5 years with a Norwegian family as aupair, so I also know it from that side.
No smoking.
Just ask if you have any questions.

That, becouse of the pandemic - she got stranded here.
Neverthless, It has been a solely positive experience. She is a quiet, but positive and social person. She can sew beautiful things and prepare a delicious meal.

It has been a positive experience. Elena is an independent and reliable person. I honestly recomend her.
She was so kind to accept my request to be hosted for so few time despite her preferring to have Workawayers for much longer periods.
