I live alone and I travel alone or with a few friends. We will not be more than 4, no children, no animals. I am 58 years old, non-drinker and non-smoker. I travel to explore and to relax. I have traveled a lot to South Africa, but want to explore more, especially Europe, other parts of Africa and America, but not restricted. My house in Vangsnes (Sognefjord) is more or less finished inside after total renovation, meaning EVERYTHING is new. Outside still needs a lot of work, that will take place during winter 2022/23, including terraces and balconies. I also have an apartment with 3 bedrooms and 1 bathroom in Granvin (Voss), by Hardangerfjord. The apartment has two balconies. The apartment can also be available for home exchange. I work as a municipal director and when not working, I run a child care project in South Africa, building houses for disabled and orphans, supporting kindergartens and schools, orphanages and hospitals/ nurseries and sponsor education.

Das sollten Sie sehen oder unternehmen, während Ihrem Tausch bei uns
Close to the house, short walking distance is the local church and near it also a nice recreational park with a huge monument of an viking king. The monument is 25 meters tall and was a gift from emperor Wilhelm II of Germany in 1913. In Vik there is a boat engine museum, a roller ski stadium, a gym, a nice beach and nice churches including a stave church and a stone church from 12th century. Vik has a nice river, where it is also possible to fish for salmon at certain periods of the year. The fjord is also perfect for fishing, from shore or from a boat.

Was wir mögen und was nicht… Dies sind unsere Wünsche und Hausregeln.
It is important to inform you that the Sognefjord property is still not finished renovated. The indoors is quite finished and very classy and nice, but the outside is still under construction. There wont be construction work while you are visiting, but the garden is not a nice place to be at the moment, and the terraces and balconies are still to be built. I hope to finish these things during winter season 2022/23 and will update our profile here when done. All inside is brand new, furnitures included.
I am new to exchanging homes, but I have been a host for AirBnB and for Couch Surfing for many years. I ask you to respect my home(s) as we will do for our partners, and that you leave it as you find it. All beds will be made before you arrive. Please, only use the number of rooms that you need for your group. Before leaving, please wash and dry all towels, sheets, duvet covers and pillow cases from used beds and make the beds ready again. You are also kindly requested to clean floors and dishes. To give water, not drown my plants will also be highly appreciated.
Home exchange is a wonderful way to travel, to meet people and enjoy other cultures. My preference is to travel whenever I can and I am open to all offers at all times, as I am able to do non-simultaneous exchanges. I have two homes, so I am also able to host you in one of them, even if I am not using your home at the same time.
