  Description

  Do you want to escape the heat in southern Europe? Sweden has a nice temperature in summertime, often 18-25 C˚ daytime.
  Me and my husband (since 40 years) love life and having people around us.
  Our extraordinary summerhome just opposite Sweden Rock Festival (SRF) is one of our big project (bought 5 years ago).
  My husband is retired and I will as well in a few years.
  In our sparetime we hang out with our friends and families (they can all stay overnight in our summer house, yes it is that big).
  Our main home is close to Malmö (Swedens third biggest town), where we also have a lot of projects (new bathroom, terrace, fence etc).
  We attend a lot of events with our motorcycles, old mopeds and old cars (they intend to multiply in the garage😁).
  We have a small camper but are working on our big camperbus ( a former fire department bus) that will take us around Europe in a few years from now.

  Help

  We look for one or two persons that wish to live together with us in our big house from April to September (at the longest).
  We want you to share all our chores, indoor and outdoor.
  
  A big house with a big garden needs some help all the time.
  Like lawn mowing, gardening, painting, repairing. If you have experience from owning your house, you understand. Creative ideas might come in handy.
  
  Besides taking care of our houses, we sometimes attend a veteran car meeting. Then we do the cleaning and polishing of the car together.
  
  We do charity work and teach motorcycle riders how to master their mc in a safer way, Sweden has a non profit organisation (SMC) that work for safer traffic environment. We have been members since 1991!
  
  We need flexibility with the help hours.
  If you want to combine this stay with work or study remotly, we can discuss it.
  
  To help out with the meals now and then will also be helpful. It is more fun to cook together, we eat meat most of the time (preferably organic and locally produced).
  
  We also have a fun dog, he is always up for a long hike or just playing in the garden with a frisbee. He loves people, but his master is always no 1 and 2.
