  Description

  Please don't contact us if you can't stay at least 1 month as written on our profile.
  
  Welcome to our Arctic Chalet Adventure! ❄️🏔️
  
  Hi! We're Estelle and Enguerrand, a French couple who followed our dream of buying our own private cabin in the heart of the Lofoten Islands, near Svolvær.
  
  This cabin is our home and personal life project not a commercial business. We're slowly renovating it ourselves while embracing a simpler life surrounded by nature.
  
  We're looking for open-minded, curious and easy-going people who would like to share this adventure with us. For us, Workaway is all about cultural exchange, learning from each other, sharing everyday life, cooking together and creating unforgettable memories.
  
  If you love nature, simple living and meeting people from around the world, we'd love to welcome you into our Arctic home. 🌊🏔️✨

  Echange culturel et opportunités d'apprendre

  For us, Workaway is also about sharing experiences, cultures and good moments together.
  
  When our schedule allows, we'd love to take you hiking, kayaking, fishing, exploring beaches or discovering some of our favorite places. However, we'll have a lot of work going on with the renovation, so you'll also need to be independent and happy exploring the Lofoten on your own during your free time.
  
  There is so much to discover here, and we'll always be happy to share our favorite spots and recommendations!

  2 ways you can join our Arctic life
  
  First, our chalet is our private home. It is not a rental property or a business. Workaway is for us about cultural exchange, sharing our lifestyle and learning from each other.
  
  1. Creative & Outdoor Life
  
  Join us in simple everyday projects around our home: gardening, painting, upcycling furniture, sewing, decorating, cooking and taking care of our outdoor spaces. We'll do these activities together and share skills and ideas along the way.
  
  2. Cooking & Cultural Exchange
  
  We love sharing meals, discovering recipes from different countries and exchanging cultures, languages and stories. We'd love to learn from you as much as we hope you can learn from us!
  
  More than anything, we'd love to welcome you into our everyday life in Lofoten, share experiences and explore this beautiful place together

  Hébergement

  You'll stay in one of our two private double bedrooms, each with a comfortable double bed, plenty of privacy, and breathtaking views of the surrounding mountains and sea.
  
  As the renovation is still in progress, the bathroom facilities are currently outdoors, with a hot gas shower and dry composting toilets.
  
  We love living in a clean, tidy, and respectful home, so we're looking for people who are happy to help keep shared spaces clean and leave the kitchen spotless after use.
  
  During working days, we'll provide three meals a day. Estelle usually takes care of the cooking, but if you enjoy cooking too, we'd be happy to share the task and discover your favorite recipes!
  
  On days off, you'll be free to prepare your own meals using our fully equipped kitchen. We simply ask everyone to clean up after themselves so the space stays pleasant for everyone.

  Autres infos...

  Our chalet is in a beautiful but quite remote location, surrounded by nature. This lifestyle isn't for everyone, so it's important that you're comfortable with isolation, simple living and being independent.
  
  It's about 30 minutes on foot to the main road, and around 5 minutes by car from Svolvær. Having your own car is a big plus, especially if you want the freedom to explore or go into town independently.
  
  On your days off, you'll have plenty of opportunities to discover the Lofoten: hiking, climbing, surfing, kayaking, fishing or exploring the beaches and mountains.

  Possibilité d’accueillir les digital nomads

  Our internet connection is good enough for everyday use, so digital nomads are welcome. If your work is flexible, it's easy to organize your schedule around the Workaway hours. We use Starlink. We simply ask that everyone is fully present and committed during the agreed working hours. Outside of that, you'll have plenty of time to work on your own projects, relax, or explore the Lofoten Islands. We're very flexible and believe good communication is the key to making everyone's stay enjoyable.
