    Here in southern Norway there is an impressive coastline. Surrounded by classical culture and arts and crafts on a farm property next to the sea. We are a small family of four, living on a family property.
    Besides the crafts, animal care and gardening is also happening. There are horses, goats, chickens, cats and a dog with which you may cuddle and spend time with.

    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    My proffesion is leatherworker. Bags, bridles, books and other things I love. I will be able to educate you in basic leatherworking. My leatherwork is sentered around ornaments and beauty.
    At the property there is also an unofficial school, called the Nerdum school. In which students learn classical painting from a master painter. You will be able to walk through the place and absorb the knowledge. And if interested, you may pick up a paintbrush yourself. Besides the crafts, animal care and gardening is also happening.
