Description
I am Marie, 27 years old from Germany and am in Norway since the beginning of July. It has long been my dream to travel and get to know life in Norway/ Scandinavia.
Nature there is indescribably beautiful and fascinates me. I would like to use the time to get to know myself even better.
I am looking forward to meeting new people, cultures and lifestyles.
I love animals and will be happy to help you take care of them.
I can also help you in the household, garden, DIY and a lot more.
In my free time, I like to take pictures and go hiking. I would love to learn to kayak and am open to sports activities.

More details about your skills
So far I've worked for more than 5 years for some companies in Germany where I managed all the personnel and employed new staff. Therefore I have a lot of experience working with people and managing them.
At the stay at other hosts, I painted a house (partly with the help of a lift), chopped wood and planted flowers. I picked a lot of different berries, potatoes and salad. Furthermore I set up a scaffold, mixed and processed concrete and did a lot of wooden stuff to built a stable for the cows.
I also took care of the animals at the farm and fed them. I was at a sheep farm and we had to feed them and brought the sheep's back home from an island. I had to catch them in case they escaped, weight them and give medicine.
I really like taking care of animals, when I was younger I took some horse riding lessons and always took care of my friends pets when they went on vacation.
I'm open to any kind of work and want to learn more about different professions.

Marie is full of surprises when you get her to know. When you first meet her, she seems a bit silent, but don’t worry, she will warm up and contribute to what you will enjoy a lot. She didn’t have so many skills when she came, but she has a “can do” approach to most things, which makes here a very strong character that you just like more and more.… read more

I stayed for four weeks at Hans Olaf's and Michael's place. We worked at the farm of Hans Olaf's parents, which is a very nice place. I have done a lot of different work. The main work was building the stable for the cows. We mixed and processed concrete and built the walls and the roof. I picked a lot of berries and we made jam out of it, cut… read more

We had the pleasure of hosting Marie for two weeks in July 23. We are very happy with both her work and her company. During her stay, Marie painted a considerable part of our house, became a skilled lift operator, she chipped a lot of wood and also got to try our weed wacker, wacking down some unwanted species in our fields. Marie is easy going… read more

I stayed for two weeks at Marie's and Christopher's house in Vestereng. We painted the house and chopped wood. They explained everything to us and worked with us. Every day we had breakfast, lunch and dinner all together and it was so tasty. Marie is a great cook. They made it possible for us and one of their daughters, to spend a weekend in their… read more
