Description
Hi! We are three friends living in Haugesund, in the western part of Norway. We work from home as online teachers and enjoy the beautiful nature in this area with our two German Shorthaired-Pointers. Sigurd (38) is Norwegian, Erik (31) is American and Andrés (38) is Spanish. We live part of the year in Spain and part of the year in Norway. We also have a profile here looking for volunteers in the south of Spain: workaway.info/en/host/579928625891

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
We speak Norwegian, English and Spanish. You will be integrated in Norwegian life and enjoy the relaxed atmosphere as well as the nearby nature. We have a cabin in the mountains (1h 45 m driving from our home) so you will spend a lot of time there. You will experience an amazing mix of nature, this corner of Norway has stunning mountains, fjords, waterfalls, glaciers and also beautiful coastal landscapes. We are easy-going and social, usually spending a lot of our free time outside or in the mountains. In the evenings we like hanging out together talking or watching series. You can also visit Bergen, Stavanger and many other interesting sites in this part of Norway.
Help
We are looking for someone that likes dogs and outdoor-life and who could help us take the dogs to the hills twice a day and also help out around the house and with daily errands. You need to be able to hike in the mountains and take care of two big dogs (30 kg each). One of the dogs is only one year so she needs training still.
