Description
My name is Kjartan, 61 year old Icelander. I live in Norrudden and that's a small beautiful village, just 40 km from Stockholm city centre. I live with my two wonderful Border Collie, Persie and Alexandra and the supercat Sofia
I have a little house about 35 square meter on my land. There is also have a smaller cabin which are 15 square meter that I use as a guesthouse. I’m also building new houses on my land.
I mostly need help with my dogs who need a lots of daily motions. I also need help to do the garden in order and other domestic things
Last year I had two Workawayer and they lived in a small cottage I have on the plot. Shower and toilet are in another building. It worked well.
