Description

Hi, we’re Strahil and Aleksandra — a Bulgarian couple currently living in Oslo, looking to trade city life for something more meaningful, hands-on, and closer to nature.

Strahil is a furniture maker and carpenter with strong experience in construction, renovation, demolition, and general handyman work. He’s comfortable with tools, physical work, and problem-solving, and also has experience in hospitality and catering. He has a strong interest in photography and film.

Aleksandra has solid experience in hospitality, currently working as a waitress in a busy Oslo café, and also running guided fjord tours. She enjoys meeting new people and being part of that kind of experience.

Between us, we’re adaptable, hardworking, and easy to get along with. We both speak fluent English (Aleksandra also speaks fluent German and some Spanish), and we both have driver’s licenses.

We work well together, learn quickly, and are happy to help wherever needed — whether that’s practical work, working with guests, or simply being part of the daily rhythm of a place. We prefer longer stays where we can contribute more and take on real responsibility.
