I am also do music "Leif is Life" You find med on Spotify and other streamings. I was born in 1960 and I have had a good life. I enjoy meeting people, and people often say that they enjoy my company. That`s nice to hear:) My goal is that every guest shall have a positive stay here.
The surounding are the older part of Gibostad. Private houses in a quiet atmosphere. The grocery store is 800 m away. The gas station is 1200 m away. They sell a lot of different equipment, for fishing to. We have a nice beach 800m away. The ocean is very clear there. A little cold water, but if you are a Viking you could jump in:) In wintertime the beach is a perfect place to see the Aurora. We have also very good condition for cross-country during the winther. We have football court 1000m away. The hiking areas here is very nice.
