Description
Hei, I am Eva, 33 years old, and five years ago I moved from Germany to Hinnøya, Norway's biggest island, where I have a small hobby farm with some sheep, rabbits and chicken. 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 nature.

Help
I'm looking for someone who can look after my farm and feed my animals while I am travelling for about 7-10 days in June (preferably starting from around 14.06., but I am kinda flexible regarding the exact dates).
Your job would basically be to look after the animals which live on the farm (6 chicken and 3 rabbits) and feeding them both in the morning and evening. Also I have 5 sheep on a meadow in the village who need to be checked if everything is ok. The work isn't very complicated, but prior experience with animals would be an advantage. Additionally, you would also look after the vegetable garden and water it weather-dependent.
The help takes about 1,5 hrs every day, and you can use the rest of the day for hiking, making a day trip to Vesterålen or just enjoying the calm life in the countryside.
I can either host someone who is travelling with a camper, or I also have a guestroom available in my house.
You can basically use my whole house with bathroom, kitchen and living room with TV during your stay.
I have internet via fiber available, if you want to use your stay for a workation.
Due to my own animals, I unfortunately cannot host someone who is travelling with a pet.
As there is no public transport nearby and with the nearest supermarket being 25 km away, you'll need a car to get here and to explore the area. The next bigger city is Harstad which is ca. 35 km away.
As the work is very simple and doesn't take long every day, I'm only providing accomodation, including using my house for staying, cooking, washing, etc, but don't provide food during your stay.
Preferably, I am looking for someone who is 20 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.
