Description
Hi, we are a family of six living in a beautiful rual area of sweden on our litlle farm. As we are both working fulltime, so help on the farm is always welcome!
We have 6-8 horses, chicken, gees, ducks, doves, peacocks and kalkoons. Cat and dog - of course!
So there is a lot of day-to-day work and we would like some help with our extra projekts like clearing out trees and bushes, fixing the fences for the horse and so on. Vegan cooking and help in the house is also highly welcome!
We want a couple to stay with us as we will be working and the kids will be at school. We thought to offer a good base to explore the surroundings and we can give you lots of ideas what to do in your sparetime.

Meeting new interesting people is worth so much and getting to know Fumina and Masaki was really amazing!
So fantastic food ( vegan sushi 🍣!), epic Pingpong battles and Masaki showing is gymnastics! The kids loved you, we love you!
And they took care of the work, of course!
Hope to see you again, maybe in Osaka.

We would definitely recommend here if you like taking care of animals and playing with kids!
The host family have eight horses and many birds on a big land, and our main job was to take care of the animals. We had never taken care of so many animals every day, and it was a really fun experience.

They were with us about one month and became really part of the family!
All jobs promptly and good, thinking for them selves and doing even more than asked.
Fantastic salads and cooking!!
Play cards, Catan, dice and more, enjoying time with the kids.
They are always welcome back!!
From the moment we arrived they made us feel welcome and included us in their loving and never boring family life.
We had lots of fun playing games, watching movies, baking cookies or singing canons with the kids and had many interesting conversations with Mareike and Jan.

This couple is a great example why we love Workaways!!
Fun and interesting to be with, open to learn new things and a great help when needed. We shared inspiring discussion and had epic game nights!
They came as workaways and left as friends!!

She left us far too early… read more
