Description
Smal work outside and inside, painting. It s difficult to plan the work in the autumn and winter, the weather is our criteria now.

Help arround our new home, inside are all complete, but outside need we help with painting and in the garden. This work is also possible for a woman, with the heavy parts are we ready.
We live on a smal island near the polar circle in Norway. We are a married couple (Peru + German) and search a person with interest to help us. We like nice talks and exchange of views. We can give you a view in our life, we search always a possibility to discover parts outside the main-stream- speak together spanish, and prepair international dishes, you can learn from us, when you like. In the summer is fishing time, we search berrys and mushrooms. We search a quiet person with a little bit practice, but not requirement. We like to go with our own boat fishing and drive on the lake 300 m from the house with our canoe. We live with 120 persons of Løkta, a part of the Helgeland islands. Our island is very green with many wood. It's porcini / mushrooms time in the summer.
We speak spanish and german to 100%, english and norwegian very well.
Best regards C&M

We didn't want to write a review at first, because we only stayed one week and we didn't work enough together to really know what were our hosts expectations. We tried as much as possible to be conformed at their standards. Unfortunately for both of us (host and volunteer) we didn't find a good balance.

It's true that we didn't close the door… read more

We are not happy, both stay 5 days alone in our house, and have a clear job. The most are not ready or in bad quality.
The door from the cellar are not right closed, our potatos are frosen. To much loss for one week.

Es war ein guter Austausch, Tobias immer hilfsbereit und interessiert. Mit gerade mal 18 Jahren kann man handwerkliche Erfahrung nicht erwarten, er hat sich aber wirklich Mühe gegeben.
Sammle mehr Lebenserfahrung und komm gerne wieder.

I'v been to Lokta for 2 weeks, i had a great time there. I worked with Michael on a 150 years old house renovation.
He told me a lot about building and carpentry, these advice will be precious to me.
Michael and Consuelo made me feel confortable and feed me very well.

Yeah, I know Michael, you do not think too much of feedbacks, but hopefully you won't mind this.

Løkta is a quite small island, but that's got its special charm. A liking towards long walks and a couple of good books are recommended.
