Description
We are a Danish gay couple looking for general help in our wonderful paradis. We have been married for 17 years and are very openminded..
Both of us have been working on the international scene and speak several languages, but the main language will be Englsih.
Looking for help/sparing with the daily mainteanece of our wonderful place - we like to call paradise.
If your are keen on being a part of our small family, consisting of Jens and Michael, you have chosen the right place.
Over the last three years we have had loads of workawayers and some of them have even become dear friends to us.
We started out be giving rewievs to all of them but unfortunately discovered that it ended up being a waiting game and one big shoulder padding. Thats why we do not have and/or gave a lot of rewievs.
We have had the imens pleasure of hosting fantastic workawayer from all over the globe each of them had their own caracteriscs and we have learned a lot of them as we also know that they have learned a lot from us. Being in a workaway situation is not a competition, but a mutual exchange of both work and points of views.
In our paradise there are a lot of wonderful plants and trees that attracs a masses of beautyful insects and butterflies - BUT.. it all needs to be taken care of and thats where YOU come in... we need helper(s) that knows what weeding means and are able to handle grass cutters to make the lawns look perfect.
Michael is the author of several books including cookery books and Jens has been working at The Royal Danish Opera. Both of us are well travled and like to exhange experienses and points of view.
We are looking for help to get our garden up to date - small trees needs to be cut down, weed need to be pulled up, gradle needs to be moved, grass needs to be cut and...
