  Description

  I´m a 54 yo man who has my own bussiness, mostly selling outdoor gyms and construction service. I use the house as a base, but going around during the days selling or doing projects. In the evenings I mostly train different things like MovNat, strength training, cardio by walking up the hills/mountains.
  I dont like dullness, so I try to get as much as variation as possible, always see a new place or something. I have been to 53 countries, but now I try to discover more local.
  
  I want to concentrate 100% on the company. That's where you fit in. I mostly need help with the cooking. I love good food but has no talent or patience to cook.
  
  I have a son, over 30 yo, but he lives in Stockholm. About once a month I go and visit him, and relatives. Of course you can join then.
  
  LOCATION
  I live in a small red house (photo) in a small village, Åsmon, of 50 people. Here is no service at all. Just forest and some hundred meters to the river. Here I can open the door and hear the sound of silence or the nature, some hunting dogs barking some times, and see the stars, Milky way and northern light in winter, breath fresh air and smell the forest.
  There is one or two buses going downhill 5 km to the bigger village Näsåker in the morning each workday at 7 and 845 am, and one or two buses going back around 5 pm.
  
  In Näsåker live about 500 people. A very calm village. There is a grocery store, gym, library, small public bath with sauna, church, coworkingspace, outdoor gym, a little ski slope, petrol station, one cafeteria and one pizzeria and so on. There is also the largest place for rock carvings in Europe, up to 6000 years old and a very beautiful view (photos) over the river.
  Once a year, the first weekend in august, there is a big world music festival here during 3 days with up to 10 000 visitors.
  
  5 km NW from my house is a wonderful waterfall (photo) to bath in during the summer.
  
  45 km south is the municipal capital Sollefteå, of 8000 people, 550 km north of Stockholm. It takes about 1 to 2 hour with car to the bigger cities of Östersund, Örnsköldsvik, Umeå, Sundsvall. There are some buses going from Sollefteå to those cities every workday, and some on sundays.

  Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

  I will show you the area, at least once a week we will go on excursions, to beautiful places, nearby villages, or nature reserves.
  
  I can teach you about training outside, natural movement (aka MovNat, la methode naturell) in which I´m the highest certified in Sweden, just join me training then. Im also a certified Personal Trainer and graduated and experienced teacher in Physical Education. But I don´t like to fit times, be slave under a schedule, so I prefer what I´m doing now, even if I earn less.
  
  Also introduce you to cultural events and associations in Näsåker. Its a lot of folk music up here and creative handcraft people, with workshops and courses. There are some sports clubs with skiing, yoga, boxing and other sports on the programme.
  
  I also hope to hear from you about your culture and experiences, and learn skills from you.

  Help

  I feel more comfortable to share house with a woman so I mainly look for a female workawayer.
  
  COOKING
  The most important help I need.
  Food for the whole week, lunch and dinner, maybe some for lunchbox.
  I eat paleo mainly. That means: 1) avoiding grains (no rice, bread, pasta and so on) -vegetables instead. 2) eating all kind of animals, 3)avoiding diary products, sugar and salt. As local ingredients as possible.
  
  CLEANING
  The whole house, 80 square meters, 3 rooms and a kitchen, toilet and bathroom. Takes about 3 hours, every second week is enough.
  
  DISHES
  Every workday. Time: maximum 30 minutes each time.
  
  WASHING CLOTHES
  Once a week is enough for me, around 2 hours
  
  THE REST OF THE TIME
  -Fix the breakfast
  -Do maintenance on the house
  --In summer:
  ---scratch paint from the windows
  ---paint the windows
  ---Grow on the plot in the summer
  ---Film training videos
  
  WORKTIME 20 HOURS A WEEK MAXIMUM
  And you can choose a lot when to do it. No fixed scheduled. You ca do it in the morning and have the rest of the day free.
  
  IF YOU WANT A EXTRA JOB
  -There is a labour shortages in many branches here, so it can be possible to get a job here without swedish (I will check that out). I can help you with that.
