    Description

    Hello, my name is Kolbjörn and I live in a small cozy house in the forest, within walking distance of my brothers with the family.
    In Sweden, we call this kind of house a Torp.
    The Torp has electricity and water but no indoor bathroom, toilet (das) outside and has an outdoor bathtub and a fireplace to heat a lot of water in.
    It's always a lot of things to work on around the house I would love to have your help with it.
    I work away from the house from 7 to 16 most days and then I fix on my house and land the rest of the time.
    When I do not work on my home, I like to dance e and I practice different pairs danced like the Swedish folk dances, lindy hop, Bugg, fox but also punk and rave.

    I have done work away both in Tanzania and in Central America I have also been volunteering in Japan, Nepal, and Bolivia.
