    Description

    Please contact us in Spanish

    We are a couple, a Norwegian husband and a Norwegian-Latina wife (from Colombia).
    We love meeting people, sharing time, and enjoying each other's company.
    Life in the countryside is new, and I enjoy gardening projects. We started working around the house, renovating the lawn, planting, and removing rocks to create a garden.

    We need a lot of help cleaning up around the house, as my husband is building the garage, and there's a lot to clean up around the house.

    The house is located in the middle of nature, with many trails and mountains to hike and explore.
    It's a sparsely populated area, so it's ideal for nature photography; every day is a different landscape.

    We don't have internet at home right now, but there are two places nearby where you can use it.

    For reasons of social distancing, 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, pues mi esposo trabaja construyendo el garaje y hay mucho que recoger alrededor.

    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.

    Por ahora no tenemos internet en casa, pero hay 2 lugares cerca donde se puede usar.

    Por cuestiones de convivencia, apreciamos y respetamos la higiene corporal.
