Beschreibung
Hi!
We live in the countryside near Tiveden National Park and are located near the northern end of Lake Vättern. Our nearest town is Karlsborg.
On our farms we currently have sheep, lambs, two horses and chickens.
We live in a very beautiful nature with old forest and wildlife all around us. We also have many lakes in the area.
To be a volunteer here you have to like nature and animals. No big city pulse here :D No public transport and the grocery store is about 20 km away. This is truly rural Sweden even though it is quite close to cities like Laxå, Askersund or Karlsborg.
Every day looks different, and your help and your work depends on the weather and your abilities.
We are part of Workaway because we find it so rewarding, fun and interesting to meet people from other countries and exchange experiences and also traditions.
Right now we have a great need to paint houses red while the weather is good and not raining. Renovate a terrace and remove bushes and other outdoor work.
Great if you have a driver's license. -

Was noch ...
During your free days, there's a lot of activities such as hiking in the national park of Tiveden or nearby trails. Visit Karlsborg Fortress, and the Gota canal. Two large Swedish tourist destinations.
Our closest train station is Laxå or Skövde, 40 min away.
No smoking in all buildings.
Perfect if you want to combine studies digitally with volunteering with us.
We know nothing about vegetarian food. Need help with that if you are vegetarian. -
