Description
We are Dear and Jeppe. We live in North Jutland near Hjoerring. We have 2 acres of land, with trees and a big pond with fish. Come to visit the most beautiful part of Denmark, and help us finish the renovation of our house. You will live in a small log-wood cabin, under the green canopy of the trees in a perfect spot for nature lovers. The cabin is 100 % off grid, but WiFi and power outlet is available in a near by camper with camp style kitchen where you can cook you own meals.We have rebuilt our house, using mostly recycled or surplus materials. We offer food and accommodation in exchange for 5 hours work, 5 days per week. The best beaches in Denmark are only a short drive away. There is a small town nearby (6 km.) with shopping and public transport.
Looking forward to meet you.

I had a wonderful stay at Jeppe and Dear's place this summer. It was a great first Workaway experience. Helping him build his house was the perfect way to learn new skills. Jeppe has shown me great ways of efficient work.

My first two Workaway weeks with Jeppe and Dear were nice ones. I learned quite some things about building a house and had a good time roaming about in the peaceful surroundings. If I'll ever build a house for myself, it became less of a myth now. The work itself was tough at times, but satisfying. Jeppe made sure we worked in an efficient way so… read more

The experience provided by Jeppe and Dear gives a great insight into the history of Denmark, as well as an opportunity to explore a beautiful part of the world. Anytime you're not working it's very easy to escape into the Danish countryside, or wander through the elegant local towns. The work, as expected with manual labor, could be tough at… read more

I spent a week at Jeppe and Dear’s, we built a compost toilet and spent time working on a Viking house they were building for workawayers. We got to see the local surroundings and visited a Viking village. Jeppe was patient and taught me lots of new skills and Dear was very kind and cooked really good food.

My stay with Jeppe and Dear was quite a nice experience, as well as a opportunity to learn some carpeting tricks and getting knowledge about what to be particular about and what not, when on a construction site. Thank you guys very much for letting me stay with you and for sharing you're knowledge, fun and food.
