    Description

    We are a couple, Norwegian husband and Norwegian-Latin wife (from Colombia).
    We really like meeting people, sharing and enjoying each other's company.
    My husband, because of his work, is sometimes at home, sometimes not.
    Life in the country is new and I like doing gardening projects. We started working around the house, renovating the lawn, planting, removing stones, to create a garden. In winter the tasks include clearing the snow at the entrance.
    We also have a motorcycle under repair... in case there is someone who likes mechanics :)
    The room for lodging is on the second floor, with a good view and in the front row for the northern lights. If there are two or more volunteers , they will share a large room .
    For now we do not have internet or TV signal at home.
    The house is located in the middle of nature, there are many trails and mountains to walk and explore.
    It is a sparsely populated place, so it is ideal for photographing nature, every day is a different landscape.
    In September the help I need includes driving the car.
    ===========
    Somos una pareja, esposo noruego y esposa noruega-latina (de Colombia).
    Nos gusta mucho conocer gente, compartir y disfrutar de la compañía del otro.
    Mi esposo, por su trabajo, a veces está en casa, a veces no.
    La vida en el campo es nueva y me gusta hacer proyectos de Jardinería. Empezamos a trabajar alrededor de la casa, renovando el césped, plantando, quitando piedras, para crear un jardín. En invierno las tareas incluyen limpiar la nieve en la entrada.
    También tenemos una motocicleta en reparacion... por si hay alguien que guste de mecánica :)
    La habitación para hospedaje es en el segundo piso, con buena vista y en primera fila para la aurora boreal. Si son dos o mas voluntarios , compartirán una habitación grande .
    Por ahora no tenemos internet ni señal de tv en casa.
    La casa está ubicada en medio de la naturaleza, hay muchos senderos y montañas para caminar y explorar.
    Es un lugar poco poblado, por lo que es ideal para fotografiar la naturaleza, cada día es un paisaje diferente.
    En septiembre la ayuda que necesito incluye manejar el auto.
