    Description

    We are two open-minded and outgoing young people with a passion for sustainability, social interactions and the nature.
    Morten is 31 years old and holds a degree in design engineering. Currently, he works in a company that develops building materials and furniture made from recycled and natural materials.
    Mikala is 28 years old and works as a school teacher and outdoor guide. She is devoted to the simple life where resources and consumption align. She likes to be in our garden, and cook delicious meals of the vegetables we grow.
    We are currently looking for volunteers who can help for weeks/months in our garden and building site.

    You will be waking up in the beautiful nature to the sight and sounds of birds and other wildlife. Together with the rest of the team we will help with the construction step by step, while we share knowledge of the materials and handcraft methods.
