    Description

    Hi there, I am Halil and Albert, we are looking for a friendly volunteer, to help with cooking dinner and cleaning also some help within the house, no help at all will be asked with the businesses. We are newbies in Workaway, so just get acquainted with that website. I have a big house, I have a lot of space there and it is full of different things. I am a workaholic man, I like to work a lot. My children live in another house, so here I live with Albert. Sometimes we give room to other volunteers. So, my house has many rooms, some of them full of different furniture, and definitely, there is a separate room for you, where you can stay. Kitchen and bathroom are shared. I have fast internet but in some rooms it is slow. I have a big TV, so in the evening time, you can enjoy watching movies. I am an entrepreneur and run different small business, two shops, one cafe, and restaurant, we just opened. I do not have stable graphics of my work. I go to bed late as I need to check all my entities to be closed after midnight. However, it is not a concern to you. I would be kind if you can help me with cooking food general cleaning. Actually, there is not much work. Feel free to write and ask any questions. And yes, I have two small jacuzzi, it is working whole year even in winter, you are free to use it.

    I live 5 minutes to train station, the train goes directly to Oslo Central Station, it takes about 35 minutes and you are in the center of the Oslo. I live near the forest, so if you like running, it is an amazing place, in summer you can swim in the lake and Drammen fjord.
