Beschreibung
Hej! We're Seb and Alex: a 30-something couple originally from South Africa, now living in small-town Sweden with our one year-old daughter and very fluffy Finnish Lapphund, Sanna.
Over the last few years we've been on a slow but exciting journey to create our dream home in the Swedish forest, and doing as much of it ourselves as we can. Earlier in 2026, we completed Phase 1: our little 35m2 cabin, and right now we're full steam ahead with the construction of the main house, which we hope to complete in 2027.
Life is busy and our plates are full! We both work full time and have to take care of our dog, daughter and housekeeping – all while trying to get close to the finish line on our construction project. That's why we're looking for an extra pair of hands to help us in the coming months, so we can manage everything... and keep our sanity :)
And while capability is important, chemistry is maybe even more so. If you seem like a good possible match, we'll invite you for a video call to get to know each a bit better and see if it feels like a good fit both ways.
Look forward to hearing from you! -

Kultureller Austausch und Lernmöglichkeiten
We count ourselves very lucky to live in a beautiful part of the world, with an abundance of nature right on our doorstep. We try to enjoy the best of Swedish life in every season: from long walks in spring, to kayaking in nearby Möckeln lake during summer, foraging for mushrooms in the autumn and enjoying cosy moments in the long, dark Swedish winter.

Arbeit
We are looking for a Workawayer to help us in either of the two following ways:
– Helping Seb on the house build: we're looking for someone who has good experience with DIY and power tools, willing to climb up ladders, get dirty while also helping to keep things clean on site!
– Helping around the house. Basic cleaning, shopping, walking/playing with our dog, cooking and other things like that to keep things running smoothly. (Possibility of occasional babysitting, depending on Workawayer's prior experience with children)
In return we offer we comfy accommodation, great food and of course a lovely glimpse of life in the Swedish countryside. -

Unterkunft
Depending on when exactly you are here, you will stay either alone in our cosy home in Stenbrohult (15 minutes away by car from the forest house under construction), or in the cabin on site. Both are very comfortable, but with different amenities and proximity to different things, which we'll be happy to walk you through.

Was noch ...
There are several walking trails in the area, including Taxås, Höö, Vakö Myrs and Linnés Råshult. In summer (June-August) it's also great to take a dip at any of the nearby lakes.
We have a car that you are welcome to use if we're not using it and you have a license. Otherwise, there is a bus stop about 200m from our front door, with +- hourly buses into Älmhult during weekdays.
In Älmhult you'll find the IKEA Museum (well worth a visit!) as well as a few restaurants and shops.
In Älmhult you also have hourly trains to Malmö, Lund and Copenhagen, if you're in need of some bigger city life :)
Stockholm is about a 3.5 hour train ride away. -

Sanna (4 Jahren)
The loveliest, fluffiest Finnish Lapphund! Sanzi loves nothing more than long walks in the forest, patrolling our back yard and a good game of rope tug!
