  Description

  Hi i am 29 years old, live with my dog in a house with forest around me. i like hiking or doing daily trips with my dog Alexa.
  
  I have plans on building a greenhouse and growing more off my own food. Also have plans on building a pizza/baking oven. Have some forestry to get done so if you have experience with taking down trees you will be of great help.
  
  I have one dog Alexa, chickens, two cats, and some sheep during the summer.
  
  I like to be busy with some diy, gardening, making different stuff.
  
  In the evnings i like to knit and eat a good dinner.
  
  I work full time at a garden senter. So whoever stays here will have to manage their own time during daytime. There is a lot off small tasks to do so i think it will suite most people.
  
  I have previously traveled a bit, also lived and worked in New Zealand for 1 year. I like meeting new people and learning about different cultures and languages.
