  Descrição

  Hi, my name is Birgitte, I´m a 53 year old woman living on the beautiful island Bornholm in Denmark.
  I'm looking for unpaid help 4 - 5 hours a day 5 days a week for a period of time at 1 - 3 weeks at the time. I'll offer you a nice room with privacy, nice meals, cultural exchange and introduce you to this wonderful island of Bornholm.
  I´m new on Workaway; since my two grown up children now both live in Copenhagen, I need help for different small projects in my house and garden. My home is a charming Swedish wooden house, worthy of preservation, and my garden is a little wild on purpose in attempt to attract butterflies, insects and small birds. I live with our family dog - a cute Cavalier King Charles Spaniel named Frida - in a nice and peaceful neighborhood in Rønne nearby beautiful beaches and woods (only 5 - 10 minutes away). My home is spacious with room and privacy for you whether you travel alone, as a couple, as friends.
  I have worked about 20 years as a teacher in primary school teaching the oldest classes Danish literature. The last few years I´ve worked with my sister and her family at their small boutique hotel in Snogebæk enjoying to have more time for creative ceramic projects, gardening, walks, yoga and friends.

  Oportunidades de intercâmbio cultural e aprendizado

  I look forward to introducing you to the Danish lifestyle on Bornholm. In my opinion Bornholm is a very special place and every season offers its own range of experiences and impressions.
  The unique nature on Bornholm is one of the reasons why many people choose to visit the island and offers great possibilities for hiking, climbing, biking, surfing etc.
  Also you will find lots of arts and crafts. Some craftsmen of Bornholm like to live quietly and unobtrusively while acting out their creative urges. Other artists are highly visible and have shops, open workshops and galleries.
  Every seasons on Bornholm has its own vibe: the summer is full of life, concerts and activities, the winter is more quite with time for refleksion - yet you can join all kinds of activities.
  I will be happy to introduce you to my hobbies - if you wish - such as pottery (I have a pottery kiln), knitting, gardering, yoga, walks in the nature etc.

  Acomodação

  You will be staying in a nice room on basement floor which is light and spacious and has it´s own entrance and bathroom. There will be plenty of room for two persons if you travel together.
  The basement floor will give you privacy whenever you need it. However, I would like you to feel at home in the living room, in the kitchen, in the garden and the small orangery, whenever you feel like it.
  
  We will be dinning togethermost days - (some days I will be at work though) - maybe you like to cook for us some days? We will make arrangements depending on the days program, your wishes and plans. My daughter is a vegetarian, so I both eat plantbased food but also I like to serve chicken - quite often actually - or fish sometimes.
