Description
Hei, I am Eva, 32 years old, and four years ago I moved from Germany to Hinnøya, Norway's biggest island, where I have a small hobby farm with some sheep, rabbits, chicken and a vegetable garden. The farm is beautifully located on a Fjord with a view over to Vesterålen.
There are many hiking opportunities nearby, just a couple of minutes by car before you can head out into the wilderness of mountains, valleys and plateaus.

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
During your stay you will not only get to know small-scale farm-life, you will also be able to enjoy one of Norway's most beautiful landscapes with many hiking opportunities nearby.
Help
I'm looking for people who can help me with different jobs on the farm such as building and fixing fences, small wooden projects, helping me giving my bathroom a makeover (maybe you are experienced with tiling?), painting the verandah, etc. I'm looking for someone who is preferably practically skilled and physically strong (ca. 1-week stay).
I would prefer someone who is travelling with a camper as the guestroom is currently getting renovated. About 2 km from my farm, I own a small private campsite right at the fjord where you can park your camper overnight. The campsite doesn't have sanitary installations though. Of course you can use my house with bathroom, kitchen and living room with TV during your stay.
When the weather is nice, you can enjoy the view from the verandah over the fjord to Vesterålen. If you like we can cook together, and if you're interested I'm more than happy to show you around in the area.
The nearest supermarket is 25 km away, and the next bigger city is Harstad which is ca. 35 km away.
Preferably, I am looking for someone who is 25 years or older. Couples are welcome, too.

During the first week, they laid a new wooden floor in my guestroom, did some repair work, and helped with hay harvest and animal care. Maike also prepared amazing meals for the three of us.
