  Description

  We are Pascal and Jeanette. Pascal is dutch and Jeanette is Norwegian. We live on a island all alone together with our two daughters and our dog. Since we are the only ones that live on the island we need to use our own boat to get too and from the mainland. We have 3 houses and one big sea house on the island. And our own harbour.
  We rent out houses here on the island to tourists. And we just started renovating one of the three houses. We love to snowboard, cross country skiing, winter and snow. But also summers with swimming, diving, boat trips, fishing, hiking and outdoor activities. We love to travel the world and have been to many countries.

  In your time off you can go to one of the ski-places in the area. You can go to Ålesund or Bergen with boat to see bigger cities. You can go to Geiranger or any of the other famous fjords. You can hike! Many, many mountains close by. You can go the beaches in the summer. You can swim. You can go kayaking. You can try SUP. You can go surfing at Stadt Hoddevika. You can go to Fosnavåg and see puffin birds at Runde. You can use our hot tub outside and look at the stars. (If our vacation houses are not rented out , and if we fill the hot tub). If you are lucky you can see northern lights!
  
  We will require that everyone that come are vaccinated and also that you take a test on arrival. But I think you anyway have to do that to enter Norway now. We have to think about ourselves and our young daughter in this time and be extra careful. Please inform us in your first message if you are vaccinated.
