Description
We live in a beautiful small city called Qasigiannguit in Diskobay area in Greenland, theres a little over 1,000 people here in the city. We are a family that renovates old houses/buildings. We could use a little extra hands this summer. We are new as a host, but the two younger members in our family have been workaway’ers in many countries in Europe. We look forward to a speciel summer :-)
There’s many opportunities here in our city. Hiking, sailing, fishing, whale safaring, camping and much more in this breathtaking beautiful area.

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
You will experience the simple and amazing life here in Greenland where we live right in the middle of the spectaculare nature. We are an independent family that have build our own hostels from old normal greenlandic houses. We are good to use recycled things when we renovate. We love to take on adventures too when we have free. To sail, fish and go out to our summerhouse out in the nature. It’ only takes 20-30 minutes to sail to the summerhouse.
We all speak English and we are a very open welcoming family. Theres alot of activities here in our city and it’s also possible to sail to the neighbour cities which is Ilulissat, Ilimanaq, Aasiaat etc.

Help
We renovate almost everything ourselves in our houses. We need someone who wants to help with renovation and cleaning the houses too. You will most likely be an extra hand for Laila (my very lovely talented mother). She is indepedent in her work at home and that is where she will need you.
