  • Description

    Description

    We are looking for someone who can stay at our house this spring. Preferably for one or two weeks at the time.

    We are a family of four (two adults, two children at the age of 12 and 15) with a dog, who could use some help in our garden before winter arrives. Gardening, cutting down bushes, working with concrete and maybe some painting.
    We live in a house of timber, nearby the sea and the woods. Beautiful nature right outside.
    We would like to have 1 person or a couple/friends, since we have just one bedroom available (see picture).

    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    Learn Norwegian while they are here. For us it would be great to improve our English, and perhaps learn a bit of another language. (But you can also be a Norwegian, of course!)

  • What else ...

    What else ...

    Lots of opportunities nearby, places to visit when you have time off. Hills and mountains, both in Tingvoll and especially Sunndal is well worth a visit.
    City centre of Kristiansund and Sunndalsøra is approximatly one hour away by car, Trondheim and Ålesund is 3 hours.
    Notice that it would be an advantage if you dispose your own car since we can not offer an extra car.
    We also have parking for campervans.
