Description
We are a couple: a Norwegian husband and a Norwegian-Latina wife (from Colombia).
We really enjoy meeting people, sharing experiences, and simply enjoying each other's company.
Country living is new to us, and I love working on gardening projects. We’ve started working on the area around the house—renovating the lawn, planting, and clearing away stones—to create a garden.
We need a lot of help cleaning up around the house, as there is quite a bit of tidying up to do.
The specific tasks we need help with are:
- Cleaning the basement (we are currently emptying it out, so there isn't much left, but it has gathered dust over the last couple of years).
- Gathering stones from the area behind the house so we can sow grass for next year.
The house is situated amidst nature, with plenty of trails and mountains for hiking and exploring.
It is a sparsely populated area, making it ideal for nature photography; the landscape looks different every day.
I really enjoy cooking and will prepare both Norwegian and Colombian dishes.
We have plenty of stories to share.
We have internet access at home.
For the sake of a pleasant living environment, we value and respect personal hygiene.

Somos una pareja, esposo noruego y esposa noruega-latina (de Colombia).
Nos gusta mucho conocer gente, compartir y disfrutar de la compañía del otro.
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.
Necesitamos mucha ayuda para limpiar alrededor de la casa, y hay mucho que recoger alrededor.
Las tareas especificas que necesitamos son :
- Ayuda con limpiar el sótano, ( ya no hay mucho, pues lo estamos desocupando) que se nos pasaron como 2 años y no he podido limpiarlo del polvo.
- Ayuda a recoger las piedras la zona de atrás de la casa, para poder sembrar pasto para el año entrante.
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.
Me gusta mucho cocinar y prepararé comida noruega y colombiana.
Tenemos muchas historias que contar.
Tenemos internet en casa.
Por cuestiones de convivencia, apreciamos y respetamos la higiene corporal. -
