    Hi!
    I´m Lena and I live in a little "farm"/homestead in the forest in southern Dalarna.
    I have two children, Felicia 25 and Frej 22. They both moved away now to live by themselves, so now there´s more space around here for visitors :)
    I work as a high school teacher in Spanish, History and Social science. I also work as a local reporter for a regional newspaper.

    Right now I'm in another house up north, in Bispgården, between Sundsvall and Östersund, which is part of a future project. There, the thing I´m most interested to get help with right now is to fight an invasive plant (something everyone could do) and to insulate a big room at the attic (need to have construction skills).
    I REALLY NEED HELP WITH THE INVASIVE PLANT RIGHT NOW - PLEASE COME AND HELP ME!!!!
    I have listed that we don´t need help during winter, but for the right person(s) we could come to an agreement to stay longer.

    There are lots of chores that needs to be done at home and we need some help with that. Mainly renovation. In Dalarna I would like help from a skilled person to "rise" a building, the former sheep house (easier to explain when you see it). And also to take in fire wood before winter (this anyone could do).

    Things to do in the free time in Dalarna:
    It´s 2,5 km to different lakes where you can have a swim.
    Nice paths for running/walking in the forest.
    Lots of culture activities in the area.
    Since this is a former mining area, lots of old mines to discover. I work extra in the greatest one, Äventyrsgruvan (adventure mine) where you can climb a 4 hours tour. 60 km to the north is an other mine you can visit, Falu Koppargruva, which is a World Heritage. Many of the industrial heritage sites are promoted together in a concept called Ekomuseum Bergslagen.
    The bus stops are 2-3 km away in two different directions.

    Right now I really need help to fight an invasive plant - GIANT HOGWEED. Anyone with a little extra time could do it - please come and help me!!

    I would also love to see someone who can help with renovation, insulate an attic for example. So that ´s for a person with special skills in construction.

    If you would like to help cooking sometimes would also be nice.

  • Unterkunft

    Unterkunft

    In Dalarna you live in a typical Swedish red "friggebod". It´s a 10m2 house with room for 2-3 people. There is a micro wave where you can warm things, but normally we eat together in the family house (when I´m not at work). There you can also take a shower and use the toilet. There is WiFi in and outside of the family house.
    We eat all kinds of food, mostly organic. If you help cooking vegan food is no problem :)
    If you want to stay in a private room or house that´s also possible.

    In Bispgården you have your own room in the main building.
