Description
Hello Fellow Travelers!
Currently, looking for someone to join in September. I plan to be traveling for a couple weeks, and welcome someone to look after two dogs, Barnaby & Marvin, the house, and maintaining the vegetable and flower beds on the property.
The area is absolutely beautiful and has forest trails, lakes, historic properties & camping spots.
September is the optimal season for mushroom foraging, biking, hiking, & climbing.
The property is just a bit over an acre in land, with about a quarter allocated for growing vegetables and flowers organically. It has a stunning view over neighboring farms, and is a 1 hour (direct) bus ride to Stockholm.
Hope to hear from you soon!
Tim

Accommodation
You will be staying in your own private room, with it's own private entrance from the outside of the house. The room is small and basic, but clean and newly renovated, including a new bed and clean linens provided. You will have access to the kitchen facilities. This is a good set-up that will give you privacy when you require it.
As mentioned above, our property is an hour bus ride directly into Stockholm City Center, and the bus picks up right outside the house every 2 hours, additional fares during rush hour. This means you can easily explore Stockholm and travel during your free time. There are also have a bikes that you can use to get around locally, there is a great lake for swimming about 3km away (weather permitting), and a full grocery store about 7km away.
