    Description

    Update: My dog and three of the guinea pigs have passed away, so now I have only two guinea pigs. Because of that there will be less animal care tasks.
    I now need some more help with the tasks around the house and house sitting when I am away.
    If you like nature and animals, but wish to keep some contact with the civilization this will be perfect for you.

    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 the piggies, as I am allergic to their fur and the hay. Right now I also need help with tasks around the house. In winter, I would ask you to move the snow, if it is necessary and in summer to mow the lawn (once a month). When I am travelling I would like you to take full care of the house and animals, so you need to be an animal lover.
    You don't need any special skills but a big heart for the animals and people around you.

    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 ...

    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 two Norway I was staying 1,5 years with a Norwegian family as aupair, so I also know it from that side.
    I would like you to stay at least one month, but if it works for both of us you can stay as long if you wish.
    No smoking.
    Just ask if you have any questions.
