    Description

    I work as a musician and sound engineer in Bergen. A few years ago I reacquired my family's home from 1876, where I now live while learning how to take care of the house.
    It's located pretty much in the center of the city. Bergen is a small place and you can walk to mostly anywhere, or to the city mountains. There is a lot of music and culture going on here, and I can tell you everything about it and where to go :)

    NB: I read every request, but I might not always be able to answer everyone. If there is an opening I will contact you.

    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    You can learn about Bergen, Norwegians, music, life.. I am also very interested in our environment and sustainable living, and have some experience from natural building projects.

    I'm always onto some different projects in and around the house, and its nice to have a hand sometimes. It can vary from taking care of the garden in good weather, to keeping the house in order and doing different kinds of maintenance when needed. I also love to repair things - it's so much fun figuring out how fix and improve things that would otherwise be wasted.

    No special experience is required. I will be around to show you when needed.

    We follow the Workaway standard 5 hrs a day 5 days a week. The working times can be rearranged depending on the work and your plans, we'll figure it out :)

    What else ...

    Main attractions in Bergen are the 7 mountains, the seaside, historical city center, and of course a pulsating cultural life with tons of quality live music! Getting around is easy , either by walking, bicycle or bus. Bergen is considered a very safe city. Everyone speaks English well.
