    Description

    I am looking for people that want to share some of the summer together and want to help me to plant and maintain the permaculture garden and forest garden, to help with around the house and to join me in my passion, rock climbing.
    Rainbow Family Connection!? 🌈
    I am Nathan, I'm originally from Scotland and have been living in Sweden for the past 6 years. I've been a host on Workaway for all of that time while doing a major renovation to the house that I'm now living in. Through those years I've gained some experience in many different topics, everything regarding houses, countryside living and gardening. Now the house is (almost) done and its time to focus more attention outwards to other things that I like to do like making meaningful connections with people, rock climbing and gardening. The goal in the long term is to become self-sufficient and at the moment I combine this with dumpsterdiving. Life at the house is totally off-grid on solar electricity and lacks some of the comforts of modern living.

    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    You will get to experience an alternative way of live which is close to the earth, simple and satisfying. You will learn many crafts and skills about how an off-grid lifestyle works on a practical level. Permaculture knowledge and gardening skills. You will get to think out of the box to solve problems. I hope that I can inspire you on your own journey! The beautiful Swedish nature is right on the doorstep, with an abundance of berries and mushrooms and other yummies. Endless forests to explore by foot and by bike and a lake close by with quiet beaches to relax, swim, and fish. There is a bus stop very close with access to towns. There are lots of instruments to play: guitar, mandolin, violin, bass, flutes, didgeridoo, jews harp, harmonica and drums. I would love to go rock climbing together! Experienced climbers can get a chance to climb new routes.

    Help

    I will need help with starting seedlings, planting them out and helping them grow in permaculture style as well as propagating perennial species.
    And more, including outdoor painting, small carpentry jobs, getting firewood, household tasks and going dumpsterdiving.
    The goal is to create a relaxed atmosphere with a team feeling.
    I need help to clean and climb new routes on virgin crags. There are still a lot of undiscovered crags and boulders hidden in the vast forests surrounding the property. This is a journey that has been very rewarding and I would love to share it with other climbers.
    No previous experience is necessary.
