  Description

  We are a male gay couple in our 60is. We have a very friendly dog, Vega is a Gordonsetter. I Geir is retired and Morten works 3 days a week.
  We speak English and Morten some Spanish.
  
  We are very “down to earth “ and social. Have a lot of friends and family. All ages.
  
  We live in Oslo and have a family cabin by the sea - one hour form Oslo by car. It’s in Horten, Varnesveien 233, if you look it up on the map. I, Geir, share this with my 3 sisters.
  
  In the area it’s different things to see and explore. We will show you around, but if you have your own car we can guide you were to go.
  
  The cabin is for summer holiday use. We have solar power and a well. It’s a retreat for swimming, barbecues, good food and wine. We love good talks and are curious and interested in foreign cultures. It’s an extremely nice place with the right cabin feeling. Simple standard, but practical and with beautiful surroundings.
  
  We do most of the maintenance our self. It’s mostly removing vegetation, painting and clearing the place for the season.
  
  In middle of June 2027 we thought it would be nice to have Workawayers visiting and helps us with the clearing. We love to be around young people that are interested in different topics, cultures and shares their experiences.
  If you are sporty you can swim then, but the water is not at its warmest. Maybe 18 degrees Celsius.
  
  We are planning that together we can clear the place for the season and maybe take down and prepare for an installation of a new fireplace.
  One weeks stay is maybe a good timeframe.
