Description
We are a multi-cultural family living in west Norway. I am Chinese and my husband is Norwegian/American, so our son is trilingual. We own a farm in Ålesund, but we don't really do farming. Therefore there's not much farm work to help with. We have a forest and a fjord, so if you love nature you will like our place. We might need some help with woodworking, grass cutting, fishing and blueberry picking in the summer.

What else ...
Typical western Norway landscape. So it is gorgeous here. We have a forest behind the house so there's tons of wild mushrooms and blueberries. Helpers can take as many as they want when they leave. There is public transportation from here to town/airport, but waiting time might be long at the weekend.
