    Currently looking for volunteers for spring/summer 2025!

    Hi!
    We - Josh & Siri - are a couple in our 30s, living in the beautiful countryside in Kirkenær, Norway.
    Our small house is in a fairly secluded and quiet area, with very few neighbors, and surrounded by forest and farmland.
    On our small property we try to grow some vegetables, fruit, and berries, and we keep chickens and rabbits. We also have three cats and two large dogs.
    The area we live in is great for people who enjoy peace, quiet, and spending time in nature - there are lots of great hiking opportunities here, and we are very close to Norway's longest river.
    While Siri is Norwegian and has lived most of her life in Norway, Josh is from Wales and has lived in Norway since 2020. In our house, we mostly speak english, so any english-speaking visitors
    will fit right in!

    We are LGBTQIA+ friendly 😊❤️

    ===========
    IMPORTANT!!!
    As we have two VERY BIG dogs, it's important that you are familiar with large dogs, and that you are comfortable and calm around them. They are both very social and love to meet new people, but because of their size they can be intimidating to people who are not used to dogs.
    We are very careful with who we allow to handle/have resposibilities for taking care of the dogs, so if you want to take them out for walks you MUST be physically strong and used to handling large dogs, as they are both very strong.
    We do NOT require every volunteer to walk the dogs though, as we have a fenced in garden where the dogs can play, and we usually take care of the dogs ourselves.

    Intercambio cultural y oportunidades de aprendizaje

    We can help you learn some Norwegian, and Siri will happily teach you to knit, crochet, embroider, or sew - or spend hours discussing plant care, gardening, or the genetics of chicken colors.
    We can take you around our area and show you some historical sites, and teach you about the history of the area and the country.
    Siri's mother and stepfather (also hosts!) live very close, and are very knowledgeable about places to visit and things to see in the Kirkenær area, as well as the rest of the country. They love to travel, and will happily tell you stories about their trips, and give you ideas for your future travel plans.

    We moved into this house in September 2023, and we're hoping to fix it up over the next couple of years. This year, we will at least need help with clearing the property, fixing up the rooms in the shed where the birds and rabbits will live, building new pens for the birds and rabbits outside, moving and stacking firewood, and potentially working on a couple of small renovation projects inside - minor things like priming/painting some walls.

    We will have a guest bedroom set up for your use. It's also our home office/hobby/storage room, so we do occasionally need access to it, but we will of course respect your privacy and always ask first :)
    The bathroom/kitchen/living room you will have to share with us.
    As long as we are home, all meals will be shared, and we will make sure to fill up the fridge and freezer if we won't be home.

    Algo más...

    There's a bus stop about a 15 minute walk away from the house, with buses going down to Kongsvinger or up to Elverum about every hour. From Kongsvinger you can easily get to Oslo, or further south, from Elverum you can get to Hamar/Lillehammer and further north.
    You can also take a bus or train from Kongsvinger and across the border to Sweden.
    In our area, there are plenty of hiking trails and beautiful forests to explore, lakes to visit for fishing or swimming, a few stores within walking distance, and buses to take you anywhere else you wish to go. We recommend taking a day to explore Kongsvinger fortress!

    As we have birds, rabbits, cats, and dogs, the well-being of our own animals needs to come first. If you are travelling with an animal, it is very important that it will not chase the birds, rabbits, or cats, and that it will get along with our dogs.
