    Beschreibung

    We are hosting this Summer 2023 starting 5 July. We prefer one-week stays. Vans are welcome. We prefer to not cater to special meal or food preferences. If the month is green, send us a message!

    This summer, we may like to do some raised bed building and gardening (before mid July) and some indoor painting. If you are a trained electrician, we could use some advice and minor help, but will not ask for any electric work done that cannot be certified and insured.

    American Swedish academic and Swedish translator---living in a small village very near larger civilisation. We love Music (making it and listening to it), nature, travel, history, politics, and plenty of conversation.

    Need some help with maintenance of a historic house built in 1900. Consider joining us in Summer 2024!
    We'd very much like to have some creative engineering students with energy and eco ideas to join us as well as woodworkers, painters, and eco-gardners or even vintners. We also need individuals with plumbing and electrical skills NOT for work needing certification, but for advice, ideas, and some dismantling of old lights and such. Want to start a small vineyard? Musicians and artists welcome. No smoking or pets however, but a few friendly cats and hedgehogs do wander the property from time to time.

  • Unterkunft

    Unterkunft

    Bed and board available for those who are vaccinated for COVID19.

    Hosting anyone who is sick is not ideal, and we will always let our workawayers know if we become sick too, even with just a cough.

    If you come to Östergötland (East Sweden), there are great medieval sites to visit in the area as well as good fishing, hiking, kayaking, and more. Our home is within just 100 meters of river, canal, and large lake with sailing, wind surfing and beaches for swimming too (water temp is around 22C by July). We are happy to teach a little Swedish too, and for those with Swedish roots, this is an opportunity to look up ancestors and/or relatives.

    We are reluctant to offer more than 4-7 days initially just in case things are not what any of us anticipated, BUT we can be flexible too. If things are great, and you are flexible, a few more days to a week is possible. Most of the time we need painting and gardening help, but if you are handy with construction, we can always use your help too. We would love to meet those with a bit of electrical expertise for general advice, especially if they are certified in the EU. Anyone who understands solar or wind power?! We'd love to jump off the grid with the right help (or at least find alternative ways to boost electricity).

    Europeans can fly to Skavsta, Arlanda, or even Copenhagen and take a bus or train to Linköping which is not far from our home. KLM also flies directly from Amsterdam to Linköping. AND we are very responsive to your messages. If we are not hosting workawayers during some months, however, you will receive an automated reply. These do not always count towards the average time to respond data!

    Vans work well in the front street. Smaller vans can park on the property. Small campers might work. Electricity is costly to us, but happy to fill the water tanks.
