Description
I am a single man of 63 years with a large private house. When my back is bad, I need help with some work .But I manage some things myself, I have a car to run out in most days to meet people and enjoy being there if something is happening.
Who someone wants to contact send message first, unknown phone number I do not answer because there are many junk telephones from abroad.

From May 10 to 31 I need people, have inherited an old farm I will demolish and clear.

Here is beautiful scenery of fine mountains and fjords, easy walks for advanced climbing. Norway's national mountain Stetind is situated as my view. In the summer it's midnight sun and winter northern lights. There are more museums and galleries and cave tours in the area here. Possibility of fishing both at sea and in lakes. mushrooms and berries grow wild here.
Aide
Clean cutting grass in the garden in summer, winter snow removal. Be with me if I go shopping. An advantage is if you have a driver's license so we can drive longer trips, now I am unable to run so far.

Laissé par le workawayer (Sophea) pour l'hôte

Hey,
Greetings!

My name is Sopeha, from Cambodia. I have stayed with Rolf for 7 weeks. It was my second experience with workaway.

It's hard to put into words how special and memorable this experience was. I was really lucky to went to this place! Was the best experience in my life. I can proudly say “I went there as a stranger, then I left as a… read more family, as a son”.

Before going Storjord, I am thinking about Bergen and Lofoten. That is my dream places. Who knows, everything was changed after my arrival. Everywhere seems like Bergen and Lofoten. There is a peaceful place that I never ever expected I could be there in my life time. It feels really strange for me to be in the country that has #Midnight Sun. I, myself experienced the summer weeks sunlight for the full 24 hours. Norway is one of the very few locations where sunset merges into sunrise, with no darkness in between. I was planning to stay with Rolf for only a month that was maximum period. Then, I asked him to expand to 7 weeks. I don’t really want to leave there.

My time there was absolutely amazing! This was my second workaway experience and it won't be my last one for sure. In the almost 2 months that I've stayed there I was able to discover many different areas such as gardening, work in the kitchen but there was also some space for creative work. No day was the same! The kitchen work was challenging but I learned a lot from this experience. Rolf is a really friendly and easy-going person and helpful and he really took time to show me stuff even though his back was hurt like hell. Beside working a few hours, we went out to pick Burries, fishing. It was really fun.

Living in the countryside gave me a chance to slow down and reflect. I enjoyed co-existing with nature and giving myself space to just exist. I find myself feeling more grounded and confident, and I became better at living in the now instead of constantly thinking (and worrying) ahead.

Plus, HE has giving me a great idea for doing my thesis to finish my last year at University in Hungary. He also drove me almost every day to find a great value traditional souvenirs for friends of mind.

Now, I am staying in Hungary. My friends asked me, how my holiday was? Which country I loved the most? I told them I have been traveling almost 10 countries. It was awesome experiences. In the deep of my heart, Norway is the best peaceful country.

Rolf, Thor, Evy: thank you so much for being you and making me feel like I belonged to Norway since the moment you came to pick me up at the bus station. I miss your incredible cooking (The food is colorful, healthy and abundant) and sweet personality, and upbeat attitude. You made my experience absolutely incredible, and I hope to see you again someday!

And not to forget: You’ll get the most amazing food you could wish for! Seriously, every day anew, standing in front of the beautifully views, I felt like being on a holiday every day for 7 weeks.

Once more a big heartfelt ‘Thank You!’ to all beautiful people for making my time in Norway so special. All the best, keep up those spirits!
