Description
We are a Belgian-Chinese couple in our early 40s, well travelled, business minded and nature lovers. During Covid, we changed our lives and decided to settle in north Iceland! No kids, a young giant poodle named Lava (of course) and a new house we bought and intend to renovate almost by ourselves. We live 25-30 minutes north of Akureyri, the second biggest city in the country (17000 people), close to many amazing sites. Our new place is a few meters from the fjord with incredible views.
Types of help and learning opportunities
Gardening
DIY and building projects
Help around the house
General Maintenance
Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
We can learn from each other and learn new things together. I am a pretty good handyman so we'd be doing a bit of everything together.
Projects involving children
This project could involve children. For more information see our guidelines and tips here.
Help
We recently bought a big place that needs a lot of help/ maintenance. Renovations are progressing but there are still lots of things to do, mostly painting and possibly hardwood floors. Basically, I'd like to get someone to do projects with me side by side, in this old house only. It makes the day brighter and the tasks done faster! 1 or 2 people would be nice. No pressure, no stress. We do run a small guesthouse in the village next door but you would not be involved in that.

Accommodation
Our home has 5 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. Plenty of public space and a large kitchen I am currently renovating (finishing mid-April 2024).
What else ...
We live in the north of Iceland, alongside a massive fjord and close to the sea. There are lava fields, waterfalls, mountains, fjords, whales just outside our house, etc... I think it's best if you rent a car but not absolutely necessary.
