Description
We are a family of 3-5 people. It's me Sandra (30) Sverrir (34) and our baby boy Víkingur Blær who will turn 2 years old in August. I also have 2 step kids, Garðar (9) and Amelia (8). They stay whit us every other weekend. We also have one dog (Harka) pudlepointer who is 3 years old and have a lot of energy
We live in Bæjarsveit in West Iceland in the county side.
I work in Borgarnes as a driver in a laundry for hotels, Sverrir works as an truck driver and is sometimes on a work trips around Iceland to fix the road's for 2 week's at a time.
I have been riding horses since I was a little kid and that's my main hobby, I need someone to help me with Víkingur so I can go horseback riding and of course you can also get to know the Icelandic horse.
We are really easy going people and love a good laugh that sometimes can get a little loud 🤣
Best regards
Sandra Björk & Sverrir
