Beschreibung
We are a Swedish/Norwegian family who live in a beautiful little mountain village in the northwest of Sweden, above the Arctic Circle. We are two parents, Magdalena and Tor-Henrik, and we have two kids who are 9 and 10 We have 10 sleddogs, two cats and two pet rabbits.
We live in the middle of beautiful nature surrounded by mountains, lakes and forests, and serveral different hiking trails start directly from our village. We live close to Sarek National Park, and big hiking trails like Kungsleden and Padjelantaleden. We have canoes, kayaks, boats and like to go out on the lake on nice days. We also love to swim in the lake in the summer, and the kids go for a swim more or less every day!
We are a family with a lot of different interests. Tor-Henrik is a Sámi archaeologist who also works in the Mountain Rescue. Magdalena loves hiking, knitting, reading and gardening and work in the garden every day, growing vegetables, flowers, berries, fruits and perennials. The kids have lots of different and ever changing interests like animals, bugs, terrariums, handcraft and creative projects, playing different games like chess, Minecraft, Nintendo and swimming and snorkeling in the lake. -

Arbeit
We are looking for a friendly and reliable Workawayer to join our family and help us with the daily chores.
- Feeding the animals.
- Keeping the animals spaces clean.
- Take dogs for hikes.
- Helping in the garden.
- Cooking dinner sometimes.
- House sitting occasionally if we need to go away for a few days.
- A variety of seasonal chores like working with the firewood, house painting, weeding, raking the lawn, snow shoveling and so on.
We are looking for a Workawayer who is friendly, reliable and sociable, loves to be outdoors and can enjoy the peaceful lifestyle in a small village.
You need to be used to dogs. Our dogs are happy and super friendly but they are big and energetic! Being able to stay calm and confident around dogs is important.
We would like that you are able to speak English at a good level as we would like our kids to learn good English. (In case you actually speak Swedish or Norwegian it is also great of course.)
Hunting and fishing are part of the local lifestyle and most our meals are based on local meat or fish. It is easiest for us to host Workawayers who can eat the same food that we eat, so it is a bit difficult if you are a strict vegan or vegetarian.
Non smokers only. -

There are lots of great possibilities for various outdoor activities here. Hiking or trail running, longer or shorter trails. Canoeing, kayaking, paddle boarding. It is possible to go on day hikes in the mountains straight from the village. We will provide you with all the info you need!
The closest little town is called Jokkmokk and is 103 kilometers away from our village. In Jokkmokk you can find supermarkets, small shops, a nice mountain and Sámi museum, a nice Alpine Garden and some various restaurants. In the summertime there are daily buses to Jokkmokk.
