    Description

    Hi, my name is Tove-Mari.

    Among many things, I’m an artist, a mediator, and I work with habilitation in the municipality. A while ago, I bought this old property with a large, charming house, hoping it could become a space for creativity. Now it's my private home.

    The area is truly beautiful, surrounded by lakes, forests, and the ocean. I spend a lot of time hiking or out on the water with my SUP board or in kayaks. I love having visitors who find joy and inspiration in this lovely place.

    I’m also passionate about foraging and rediscovering old knowledge of herbalism and how to use it—much like the Vikings once practiced—and I’d love to share that wisdom with others.

    But with all these projects, I’ve come to realize I may have bitten off more than I can chew. Maintaining a big house and property on my own has proven to be a lot. So, I could really use a helping hand around here.
