    Description

    I am a retired woman, who used to live nearby in a primitive tiny house - but due to health issues I moved 5 km/3 miles into my current house in the North West of Denmark.

    I used to work in homecare, so communicating in many different ways is well-known. I love meeting people from all over the world for cultural and spiritual exchange – and a good laugh!!!
    Music is also a big part of my life although I am not a musician myself - meaning that I have a guitar, an electric children's piano, a set of congas, some tambourines and other rhythm instruments in my house for jam sessions :-)


    I run a small Airbnb at the moment, but have decided that it's more fun to have people living here for a wee while, helping out with some of the things I am not able to do myself - AND getting to know about living conditions and culture in their home country.
    I prefer people who do woodwork, painting and other things related to maintaining my house, but also people who are interested in small gardening, cooking (with me), singing/playing and just enjoying life!

    I am a mostly content and happy human being, as long as I can have my morning coffee!

    The community I lived in earlier on was established in 1970 as a summer camp for hippies and intellectuals, something between Woodstock and a retreat.
    During the years it has developed into a free village-like society with a population of 75 adults and their children.
    People come to visit there from many parts of the world, so I am used to meeting "strangers" :-D

    Some key words are:

    Simplicity
    Awareness of the universe, mother Earth and our fellow human beings
    A good sense of humour :-D
    Philosophy and spirituality on the daily level - OM!

    Help

    Cooking/help in the house:
    If you can teach me about cooking from your country, I would be delighted.

    Gardening:
    I have a small garden and a tiny lot next to my house; I would like to grow something there!

    Building/General Maintenance:
    Painting the house - fencing

    Language practice, Español - Deutsch - Français

    Exchange of knowledge and ideas.

    As for other help, it would probably be giving a hand with the few heavy things, that I myself cannot move alone.

  • Accommodation

    Accommodation

    I have a lovely guest room upstairs with a private toilet and wash basin - shared shower downstairs. During summer you can choose to stay in a tent, if you prefer

    I am a flexitarian, which means that I eat nearly anything - but my kitchen is fine for vegetarians/vegans, as I keep the cutting boards strictly separated - and of course also separately stores vegs and meat in the fridge!

  • What else ...

    What else ...

    We are situated between sea and fjord, “Cold Hawaii” is not that far away, if you like windsurfing!

    There is also “Nature Park Thy”, a big area between Hanstholm and Klitmøller, where the bird- and wildlife is protected. Try going there for a walk …

    There are museums, art galleries and tiny farm shops in the area – the best little shop is in the village I used to live in 5 kms away.


    I like the simple living, feeling close to mother Earth and the Universe - especially the dark and starry nights that we can (still) experience here. I also love to watch all the life in my garden, plants, birds and various insects.

    Last, but not least: I am allergic to strong perfumes and cats (unfortunately, because I love cats!) - so please do not use any perfume while staying here

A small yellow house with red trim, white door, and two windows. A car is parked beside it, and the pavement runs alongside.
A windowsill displays various potted plants, with one flowering orange. Venetian blinds partially open, revealing a quiet street, green lawns, and a red brick building outside.
A framed painting of a bearded man hangs above an ornate dresser with plants, small decorative items, and a red guitar leaning against the wall nearby.
A smiling elderly woman with short auburn hair, wearing large glasses and a turquoise top, is happily taking a selfie in a bright bathroom.
The image shows two red conga drums, each draped with a fringed shawl, one white and the other black, in a cozy, sunlit room.
A wooden raised garden bed filled with green herbs, gardening tools, a solar light, a glass, and a rusty decorative item, surrounded by grass.
This cozy attic bedroom features two single beds, wooden floors, a gray rug, a small side table, window with curtain, and minimalist wall art.
A weathered green bench sits against a yellow wall. Nearby are potted plants, gardening supplies, a black round table, watering can, and a small red fence.
An elderly woman wearing large glasses and a patterned scarf sits outdoors. Behind her, twisted tree branches and green leaves create a natural, serene background.
The image shows a collection of dried flowers and leaves, likely from a garden or outdoor setting, arranged in a neat and organized manner. The arrangement is likely for decorative purposes.
The image depicts a woman standing in the doorway of a small, pink wooden building with an open door and a window above it, surrounded by gardening tools.
The image shows a small, weathered wooden house with a sloping roof, featuring a large window and a smaller one on the right side, surrounded by a grassy area.
The image depicts a cluster of yellow flowers, likely crocuses, with green stems and leaves, set against a backdrop of brown dirt or grass, with a few rocks scattered throughout.
