Description
I am a recently retired woman who lives in the countryside in an old croft from the late nineteenth century. The croft has been renovated with care and thanks to an open-minded carpenter I have been involved in the work and learned a lot. I appreciate what is simple and basic in life which means I bake my own bread (sourdough) and cook from scratch. Loves being outdoors, when I'm not working in the garden or with the croft I visit the beautiful surroundings, hike in forest nature reserves and swim from cliffs. I take every day bath in a lake 200 m from my place. My friends are important, and we hang out with each other and spend time in nature together.
Types of help and learning opportunities
Gardening
Help around the house
Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
In my work I met individuals from different cultures and social classes which was so rewarding. My boyfriend is from France, and it is developing to take part in other cultures. I like to share thoughts about life and its conditions, but also to laugh together. In addition to taking part in the work, I hope that we can learn from each other through a mutual give and take concerning practical questions.
In addition to the practical work, can excursions to nature, shared fellowship with me and my friends give the guest an active but also restorative experience.
Help
I grow vegetables for household needs, depending on the season I need help with gardening. This year I have some project in the garden, for exampel building a small wall.
Languages spoken
Swedish: Fluent
English: Intermediate
Accommodation
On the property there is a guest cabin with beds for 4 people, a sofa bed and a double bed in the loft. There is a shower and toilet as well as a small kitchenette with a fridge and hob for tea and coffee. All meals will be eaten together outdoors or in the cottage, if it suits it can be nice to cook together.
What else ...
There are beautiful surroundings with forests and lakes, a city, Örebro, about 60 kilometers away. Swimming and hiking trails are available in the immediate area. To visit even more beautiful nature, a car is needed, depending on the weather and the guest's wishes, I will be the driver. A trainstation is about 30 minutes away by car and if the guest comes by train i will pick you up.
I like to be active, but to rest and recovery are also important. Being by yourself for a while can be good for both the guest and me, which I hope we can have an open dialogue about. I have some photos on the guesthouse wich is very comfortable and offer an own space.
