  Description

  Hi, we are a family living nestled between Norways national parks right outside the village of Vågåmo.
  It's me Miriam, my partner Forest and our daughter Ronja. We also have two cats :)
  
  We moved to this land early 2024 and we love the fresh mountain are air here. We are in the beginning of cultivating a vegetable garden and also fruit trees and berries bushes, our property is not big and very steep so we have to use all the space that we can. We have a river and waterfall flowing right outside our house.
  
  The forest are bordering our land and the mountantops are closeby.
  
  Our family are sosial and we often have friends coming over. We are used to community living and have also used worksway wile we traveled ourself !
  
  Apart from the vegetable garden we always have building projects either in the house or outside. At some point we are planning to build a traditional cabin for our guests. We trying to be self sufficient on firewood and that's also an ever ongoing work.

  Our girl Ronja is a sosial little creature and we expect our guests to show interest in her. Some people are more confident around children than other, I get that, it's no expectations for u to be watching her but u might be asked if we se a genuine connection between you.
