Description
Hei!
I am Lydia (25) From Manchester (UK) I have been doing Workaway for 7 months now in Norway, I have learnt many skills and really enjoyed being out In the nature, away from city life. I have been living in cabins, making a fire everyday and enjoying the simpler things in life. I have been living the Norwegian life style, lots of skiing trips and hiking even learning how to make lefse! I would really like to learn more about being self sufficient so lots of gardening :) and I am really interested in alternative life styles. I am dreaming of one day having my own self sufficient home.

I am currently in Norway in Steigen on an island resort called Manshausen. My role here is quite varied I am helping to cook for guests (breakfast, lunch and dinner) as well as serving. I am also cleaning and preparing our cabins ready for guests to a high standard, as well as helping in the kitchen garden and some fishing occasionally. I have been enjoying Kayaking, Mountain climbing / rock climbing, fishing, cycling and jumping into the freezing ocean!

I am a positive, happy, person and I am open to all kinds of projects and physical work, I am not afraid of getting my hands dirty. I take a lot of pride in everything I do.

I love to be; outside exploring, sports, anything creative, taking pictures, socialising and getting to know new people.

I am sure that I can help you with what you're passionate about too, thats the exciting part! :) I'm sure we can get a long really well, I am very respectful of your beautiful home and your space.

I look forward to meeting you Tusen Takk

Lydia ended up staying with us for almost 2,5 months, the intention was 1 ;-) but since we got along so well she extended her stay and we were grateful, since the high-season is running us over. She is easy going and hard working - just the woman you want to help you out, especially with kitchen and cleaning work. She shows great flexibility… read more

We have been so lucky to host the Amazing Amy. She stayed at our place over a period of several months.
