Beautiful nature nearby.
There is a beautiful nature around the house at our island, a lot walking paths. In the city there is a lot of museums, and old wooden building architecture.

That is Preikestolen, a spectacular mountain plateau in a fjord close to were we live. Further in is also on of Europe's most popular and famous places for Base Jumping. In the end of that fjord we Kjeragbolten which many has on their list "just have to go there".

We also have Jæren with all the beaches (kilometers of white sand and dunes, just 30 minutes drive from our house. This area our family use all seasons around the year.

Lifestyle

Our lifestyle is outdoor activities when we are home at Stavanger all year around. Inside we like to play board games, and in the spring and summer work in the garden. We are interested in different cultures, people and food, history and landscape. We like to exploit new areas of the world, visit at local markets, bazaars, and see the way people live.
