Description
Hello all we are currently not hosting at the moment
We are Thelma and Fjalar and have 3 boys aged 9,6 and 3. We live in Hella on the South coast of Iceland. We run a tourist buggy company and other things on the side of that. We have a house with a patio and a big garden. We are both hard working and we like people who share the same work ethics. If you are independent, have initiative and a positive outlook you will fit in well with our family. We appreciate help around the house and with the kids. We also have a dog that would love to explore our town with you and a rabbit that would appreciate feeding.
PS We might take some time to answer requests. We do not host vegans since we eat a lot of meat and dairy products.
