  Description

  Hi there, fellow spontaneous and positive human!
  
  There have been some sudden changes in plans. While I've gotten help with everything below, I've decided today, May 27th, to change the roof on my house—just the top part, so the inside of the house won't be affected.
  I mainly need assistance with cooking and cleaning. I know these tasks will be neglected once I start the roof work, and I don't want to rely on fast food or live in a dirty house!
  
  The house is very clean now, but I am starting the roof process tomorrow, so any applicants who can come immediately are highly valued. Be spontaneous and come see my beautiful house in the most beautiful place in the world, now that the midnight sun is here!

  I'm Thor, 37 years old, usually on the road in my motorhome. However, this winter, I'm staying in my house to finish some last renovations. And I could use a hand – nothing heavy, just light work. I'm handy myself, so I can guide you as needed. no building experience needed. I have done workaway stays around Europe several times and have seen what makes a great stay so I am confident you will enjoy your time spent here in the artic circle

  Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

  Having been a Workaway traveler multiple times, I've gained a newfound appreciation for my hometown. I began to see places in my hometown with fresh eyes, as if experiencing them for the first time. This unique perspective allows me to highlight the truly remarkable aspects of our area.
  
  In addition to offering insights into the local wonders, I bring a diverse skill set to the table. I am a licensed electrician and have worked in various fields such as carpentry, mechanics, ventilation, and steel fabrication. My passion for learning and teaching means I can share these skills with you, making your stay not only culturally enriching but also an opportunity to acquire practical knowledge.
  
  Looking forward to sharing these experiences with you!

  Help

  There are a few projects around the house that require attention:
  
  Changing 2 Windows: I can handle this task alone, but an extra pair of hands would be appreciated.
  
  Painting/Changing Colors: I plan to repaint the living room walls, hallway, outer hallway, and stairs. I have a user-friendly spray painter that is easy to learn and use.
  
  Kitchen Flooring and Finishing Touches: I'll be changing the kitchen floor and completing some final touches. This is a task I can manage on my own, so no specific skills are needed here.
  
  Maintaining Cleanliness: While the house is generally clean, I aim for it to be exceptionally clean. Your help in achieving this level of cleanliness would be wonderful.
  
  Cooking Assistance: I can prepare meals for us, but any help in the kitchen would be greatly appreciated.
  
  Your assistance, even with the simpler tasks, would make the process smoother and more enjoyable for both of us.
  
  Looking forward to working together!

  Accommodation

  You will have your own room, situated on the second floor alongside the other guest bedrooms. The bathroom, kitchen, and living room are shared spaces located on the first floor. There are verandas on both floors, and the house is surrounded by grass, except for the driveway. We are located in a residential area, just far enough from town to provide a touch of nature around the house. In fact, there's a beautiful trail up the mountain starting just 20 meters from the house.
  
  I'll take care of cooking dinner and sometimes prepare eggs or omelets for lunch. For breakfast, lunch, and supper, I'll purchase food items on your request from the local grocery store. Personally, I often opt for bread with various toppings for these meals.
  
  Looking forward to sharing this space and meals with you!

Depending on the right conditions, you might be lucky enough to witness the spectacle of the Northern Lights or the soothing glow of the Midnight Sun. Nature here can be a breathtaking experience, and I look forward to sharing it with you.
