Dutch couple have a small island called Sømliøya in the middle of Norway, with an old building used for summer camps and a small church on it. We have started to renovate the buildings in June and are having a great time with "Work Awayers" From all over the world. We would like to keep it as a project where many people can meet and enjoy.
