Description
I want to show my country to the people staying with me, everything from trekking, climbing, long walks, bikes, and trips in the car. In the daytime, I am pretty occupied with remote work but it is flexible to some extent.
I am maintaining my family's houses, and need help in my apartment in the city center of Stockholm also sometimes. One house is in the archipelago of Stockholm, near Vaxholm.
I also have a house on the beautiful "High Coast" some 5 hours north of Stockholm by car or train. That far north you also have a pretty good chance to see the Aurora Borealis, the northern light between October and April.
Of course, I provide food for three good meals a day and stick to the max 25-hour working week, usually less.
I had to write this since some people have other worse experiences with other hosts.
Based on my experience, what I really looking for are people that can do some of the things below:
Carpentry skills and plastering, woodwork, painting, electricity, and plumbing. I have a very good selection of power tools, and even a professional carpenter and electrician will be satisfied. I do not save money on quality tools.
Mechanics in general, tractors and cars.
Landscaping
Gardening
Knowledge about plants.
Cleaning and having attention to detail, it does not matter if it takes a long time, quality is better.
Organizing things
Cooking (we all cook the food for lunch and dinner but its also nice if someone really puts love into the food)
In interior design, I like ideas on what I can change.
You are probably 25 years or older and have some own experience in taking care of a home. If you are younger, please let me know about your experience.
Due to the wide variety of tasks, I have several volunteers at the same time, especially during the summer season.
I also spend time in my apartment in the city center where I also need help. You will have your own private room there too.
You can go swimming, canoeing, sauna, bicycling, and do local sightseeing. I also have a private waterfront in the archipelago (Vaxholm) and a fantastic sandy beach near the north house (Härnösand).
Vaxholm is a good start to exploring the Stockholm archipelago on day trips, and at the same time have the possibility to visit Stockholm city on free days.
I also will have special Swedish evenings with typical food (seafood) and tell about our traditions. I might even sing if you are unlucky. ;-)
I have very good limitless WiFi, I mean who can live without that?
Accommodation will be in your private cozy room. Typically I have 2-4 volunteers staying and occasionally visits by friends.
I love to travel myself, I have been to 123 countries worldwide, so there are stories to share for sure and I am interested to hear your stories.
I like to socialize and want to create a travel-friendly atmosphere for volunteers while staying at my place. That is what I like myself when I travel.

You will experience some typical food and customs (and non-typical like wine tastings), I will tell you about the traditions and teach you about sea life and construction. I also know Stockholm very well and can help you to understand what to explore. I also like to show around on a boat or by car, telling about our culture and history. I also like to do outdoor stuff and small hikes or skiing in the winter.

I want to practice my Spanish or Russian and I am happy to teach Swedish.Hébergement
Plenty of space for workawayers in all locations. Nice general areas for watching TV or just read a book. Spacious outdoor patio with a grill. I also like to arrange the Swedish evening where I share our culture and typical Swedish food. In my Stockholm city center apartment, there is one extra room for workawayers.
Autres infos...
Tons of things to do in Stockholm of course, Vaxholm is a perfect spot to explore the Stockholm archipelago, swim, hike, running, walk the forest, bike rides, having a drink in a local joint, fishing, etc. It is also possible to get to the city center of Stockholm and back on the same day by frequent public transport. Boat or bus.
In the north, there are fantastic hiking, nice mountains, climbing and a good chance to see the Aurora. I will show you around if you want to.Informations complémentaires

I had an excellent stay with Martin at his ranch/home near Vaxholm. Martin is really flexible with the work you can do and he made sure we were each doing work that we enjoyed/thought interesting. I put insulation in the garage, and boarded up the space, which I hope put him one step closer to removing the electric heater down there.… read more
