  • Description

    Description

    Sofia and son, Anders, lives in a small farm with cats, dog and icelandic horses.

    Sofia work as Head of Development Wind for renewable energy projects in Sweden.

    We were earlier a family home for children and adults but the last has moved out so now there’s room for workawayers.

    We try to live environmentally friendly. Sofia runs with the dog, like books and movies. Seems to have a thing for geraniums. We are kind of flooded with plants.
