Description
We are a Swedish-Dutch couple who met in Brazil. In other words - we love travelling! :) We have three daughters, Junia born in September 2011, Alma born in October 2013 and Kiara born in September 2016. When Junia was just a few months old we spent a few months travelling in New Zealand where we did some volunteering, which was a really good experience, especially the cultural exchange. Now we have changes sides and become hosts! We have had fantastic hosting experiences with helpers but as we normally live in Stockholm and only spend five weeks in our summer house we are a bit limited to when we can welcome guests.
In your free time you can enjoy first class nature: hiking, cycling, swimming... There is also the biggest bear park in Northern Europe just out of Orsa and a street music festival every Wednesday during July - beginning August. As we live about 10 km out of Orsa you need your own car in order to get most out of your free time. We prefer to host two helpers at the same time - more fun for you - and you will share bedroom. 5-7 days here is the perfect timing.
Only non smokers please!

Charly is really positive, social, kind and a great company to have around, also highly appreciated by our kids! :)
Best of luck with your future travels!
I stayed there with another Workawayer and our main task was picking plenty of berries which was fun and even meditative!
The whole family was super welcoming and included us completely in their daily "holiday life": We went swimming in the lake a couple of times, did some nice… read more
