Description
Hi there.
We are a couple Nena and Kai with a one and a half year old boy living on a small homestead in the south of Sweden.
Nena is self-employed and works from home, and then spend the rest of the time in the garden and taking care of our chickens. She loves and practice yoga daily, loves reading, cooking, and just enjoying life :)
Kai works at an office 30 min from our house, so he drives to work every day. He is interested in hunting and is a general handyman in everything :) He built our sauna by himself and is constantly renovating and fixing things around the house. He is also great with repairing cars and machines, if this is something you would like to learn more about, Kai is your guy! :)Types of help and learning opportunities

Right now we have 13 chickens, and a garden as well as 7ha of forest land.
We would love to get help with the daily tasks in the garden, like planting and maintaining the veggies. We will also be planting fruit and nut trees so help with that is appreciated. We need a lot of help with managing the forst as well, we will be planing a new forest.
Building, painting, and renovating around the house is also an option if that is of interest to you.Languages spoken

Such a bright, kind, and intelligent young woman. From the very start, she was quick to pick up and find tasks for herself, she was very self-going and the tasks we assigned to her were done exquisitely.
I really appreciated her help… read more
I had a great time at your place and it feels like leaving friends, not hosts.
It's difficult to say what a typical day looked like, as we did so many different things... :) But so to say, that the work was not too hard at all. Sometimes I was together with Nena and… read more
