Description
I’m living a Norwegian countryside lifestyle with fishing and freediving, for our own consumption and leisure.
I have many projects around my home.
Carpentry, woodwork, boat building, treehouses and mechanics is some them.
In nature I like to do fishing, hiking, swimming, skiing, freediving and camping.

Echange culturel et opportunités d'apprendre
Norway has nature you can easily challenge yourself in.
Things I can show you if interested:
Fishing, how to cook, catch and eat the common Norwegian fish.
I also like to practice names of fish in other languages.
Norwegian methods of traditional building. The use of woodworking tools, like planers, hand drills, saws, axes and chisels.
Knowledge about these manual tools and how to use them.
Trees and their life cycle, how to climb, cut or plant them. I would like to know the types of trees in your language!
I build my own spearguns from wood, and can teach about this aswell.
I would also like to learn from you and about your specific skills. Especially about cooking, traditions, culture or anything useful.
If you have your own freediving or fishing gear it is good to bring it. If you don’t have, it possible to rent or borrow. There’s also a nice freediving shop nearby.
You can also learn about Norway as a country with its traditions, culture, language and history.
