Hello! I have a property 10 km outside Kristiansand with a house, some cabins and a big "garden".
There are some workawayers coming at different times, but it could be good to have some more people, both to get more done, and so it will be more social.
Next tasks: finish renovation of two cabins: fix kitchen, some painting, put up outside shower. Digging in the ground to make more more parking spaces. Moving/making firewood and burning branches. Maybe fix the garage when other things are done. Inside/outside jobs depend on the weather =)
We eat together, and I think most people like staying here, feel free to check reviews.
Now when there are not much tourists renting the house, we use that. In spring/summer/autumn you will most likely stay in a cabin that now has electricity.
Check staykrs.no to see the different places.

Practical work, logical thinking.. If you do garden-things you can hopefully learn some permaculture-thinking from me..
Next: Finishing renovation inside, painting outside, cutting and burning bushes and trees outside, cleaning and helping with many small things.
Norwegian and English.
Summer 2020: We will either renovate the garage so it is possible to stay there, or you will be staying in a simple cabin with gas or wood for heating and cooking. There will be water for washing and drinking. It has a bunk bed for two people at the bottom and one person at the top. The cabin has a glas roof, it can get hot during the day and cold during the night, and it is not high quality, but it works. There is a composting toilet, or shower and toilet can be used in the entrance area of the house.
In Kristiansand, there are many forests, never more than a short walk away. Near the town center are the areas Baneheia and Odderøya, perfect for walking recreation or winter activities at winter time.
Swimming: Do not forget your swimwear, swimming possibilities are many, outdoors and indoors, in saltwater or freshwater, swimmingpools, beaches (among them the Town Beach and Hamresanden) and rocks.
The beautiful archipelago off Kristiansand (Skjærgården) consists of amazing landscapes, a paradise of islands, skerries, and rocks. In the summer time, you can reach it by sight-seeing-boats from the town centre. The archipelago and the surrounding fjords is also a perfect setting for sailing and fishing
Fishing: The are many possibilities. The sea is full of fish and is free. There are many good lakes in Baneheia, just a short walk from the town or if you fish in the rivers in the area, you must purchase a fishing license. The rivers are rich in fish like salmon and seatrout.
