  • Description

    Description

    We’re a family of four with a lively household that includes a dog, five chickens, two cats, and two rabbits. We’ve purchased an old farm and are in the process of renovating it.

    Our children are Hedvig, an 8-year-old girl, and Junker, a 5-year-old boy. Around our new house, we’ve planted a forest that will eventually grow into our own private woodland.

    Johannes, the dad, works as an IT architect, while Susanne, the mom, works in train infrastructure.

    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    Our family, like the generations before us, has always embraced an open-door policy. We love welcoming others into our home and sharing our daily lives. While things can get a bit hectic at times, the atmosphere is usually fun and welcoming.

    Current Projects:

    - Cleaning and painting the greenhouse
    - Painting the exterior of buildings
    - Various garden cleanup projects as needed

    We’ve purchased an old farm, built a new house on the property, and are committed to preserving the charm of the original buildings. Both the buildings and the garden require a lot of care, and we enjoy tackling these tasks ourselves. However, as a family with small children, our time is limited. Having someone join us on this journey could be both helpful and enjoyable.

    While none of us are professionals in renovation, we welcome anyone with experience. If you’re not experienced but think the process sounds fun, your willingness to put in the effort is more than enough. We value independent work and time management, though occasional time-sensitive tasks might require coordination.
