  Description

  (EN)I turned 61 this year. I live alone in my house and have two girls in respite every other weekend. In addition to the cat Titte, some chickens also live here. I enjoy self-sufficiency, do-it-yourself and art. I speak a lot - both Danish, English and German. I am quite social and outgoing. I have been sick with cancer and my strength is a little less than usual, but the mood is positive and if you like to reflect on life, just come here.
  
  (DK) Jeg er blevet 61 år i år. Jeg bor alene i mit hus og har to piger i aflastning hver anden weekend. Ud over katten Titte bor her også nogle høns. Jeg er glad for selvforsyning, gør det selv og kunst. Jeg taler meget - både dansk, engelsk og tysk. Jeg er ret social og rummelig . Jeg har været syg af kræft og mine kræfter er lidt mindre end de plejer, men humøret er positivt og hvis du kan lide at reflektere over livet kommer du bare her.

  Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

  (EN) With me you are part of the family, we eat together and cook. There will also be time for lots of talk and excursions to Copenhagen and Roskilde. Here we reflect on life and like to take long talks about what is the point of it all. Why are we free people? Why are the Danes so happy? Why should we rejoice in something as simple as the sun rising every day?
  
  (DK) Hos mig er man en del af familien, vi spiser sammen og laver mad. Der bliver også tid til masser af snak og måske udflugter til København og Roskilde. Her reflekterer vi over livet og tager gerne lange snakke om, hvad er meningen med det hele. Hvorfor er vi frie mennesker? Hvorfor er danskerne så lykkelige? Hvorfor skal vi glædes over noget så enkelt, som at solen står op hver dag?

  Help

  (EN) I mostly need a couple who can help clean up the garden and create new beds. The garden needs weeding in the kitchen garden. The greenhouse and chicken coop need cleaning. I need help with general maintenance of the house and gardening, cutting hedges, pruning trees, weeding the herb garden and killing geese. Maintenance of my house with, for example, cleaning, decorating and painting. If you have special craft skills, I need you to be able to repair various small things. There is an opportunity to help with cooking and cleaning. Every other weekend I have two children in care and therefore you should also like children and be able to have fun with them. You would like to go to the swimming pool or playground. We are also creative, painting, drawing or printing small art projects.
  
  (DK) Jeg har mest brug for et par, der kan hjælpe med at rydde op i haven og anlægge nye bede. Der skal luges ukrudt i haven i køkkenhaven. Drivhuset og hønsehuset skal rengøres. Jeg har brug for hjælp til almindelig vedligehold i af hus og havearbejde, klippe hæk, beskære træer, luge i urtehaven og slå gæs. Vedligehold af mit hus med fx oprydning, indretning og malearbejde. Hvis I/du har særlig håndværksevner har jeg brug for at du kan reparere forskellige småting. Der er mulighed for at hjælpe med madlavning og rengøring. Hver anden weekend har jeg to børn i pleje og derfor skal I/du også gerne kunne lide børn og kunne hygge med dem. I/Du gider tage med i svømmehal eller på legeplads. Vi er også kreative, maler, tegner eller trykker små kunstprojekter.

  What else ...

  (EN) I live close to Copenhagen and Roskilde, there are good public connections by train and bus. I live close to the forest where there is the possibility of hiking, accommodation in shelters or you can borrow a bike so you can get around. We live 10 km. from the beach.
  About you, I expect that you also go on trips alone, so that I am occasionally private and alone at home
  
  (DK) Jeg bor er tæt på København og Roskilde, der er gode offentlige forbindelser med tog og bus. Jeg bor tæt på skoven, hvor der er mulighed for vandreture, overnatning i shelters eller du kan låne en cykel, så du kan komme rundt. Vi bor 10 km. fra stranden.
  Om dig/jer forventer jeg, at du/I også tager på ture alene, så jeg indimellem er privat og alene hjemme.
