    Description

    I'm Ingrid and I live along the Oslofjord in a house surrounded by around 50 single-family homes, about 40 minutes from Oslo. I'm always up for fun, I like listening to music and I'm interested in art, architecture, nature, wild herbs and growing vegetables for my own needs. I am very social and love having guests, but I also enjoy the peace and quiet at home or in the nearby forest and by the sea, which is a 10-minute walk away.

    I'm looking for a workawayer who likes to lend a hand and can help me paint the house (mainly the inside) and spruce up the garden, fix things. I also want to build wooden stairs for the basement, clear out and tidy up the basement. You participate in daily chores like emptying the dishwasher and vacuum cleaning. You are welcome to cook.
