    Description

    Hej, we are Doortje and Gijs and we can use some help at our holiday home in Sweden. We are a traveling family with 2 kids in the age of 8 and 10. We unschool and homeschool and love to connect with other like minded people. We have a beautifull place in Swedish nature and like to enjoy the silence of our place. But of course we like to receive some help here to fix what needs to be fixed. Learn from eathother. And when there a children to play with, our kids can learn from them. It is a win win.
    If you are single or a couple, you are also more then welcome to help or just enjoy what nature brings us.
    But lets get in touch first, so we can talk about what your intentions are of your visit. Lets connect.

    We like to hear from you!

    Can possibly accept pets

    Our son is scared of dogs. But please contact us anyway. Because when it is one dog or other pets, maybe he would be fine with it. We all like animals. But dogs we have to trust because of his fear. Thank you.
