    Description

    We (my wife and I) are family renovating our 100 year old house in the middle of Gotland, Sweden. We would love some help with the build and our garden, but mainly meet new interesting people. We enjoy surfing (when the waves are good enough), local restaurants and spending time with our family. We have a 3 y.o girl who likes to meet new people, play and read books.
