Description
From February on we will continue transforming two charming oldtimer busses (one 11m Scania Vabis from 1969 and a 6m Ford Transit) into multifunctional spaces that serve as home, atelier and rolling cultural enterprises. For this journey we are inviting some handy hands, flexible minds and good company! (We'll be working in a big hangar, so it will be dry, but be prepared for colder temperatures...)
Alternatively, we are also really thankful to get support in spending quality time with our four lively boys (Loke (11), Elis (9) and Ro (5) and Joe Eldar (soon 3) while we are building, or cook a meal for the family...
We are a swedish/german family, who is living in an ecovillage on the island of Bornholm. We are homeschooling, late-nighters, very lively/loud and creative!
Daniel is a glasblower and musician, Anne is a designer, artist and doula. Our boys are all very different in personality, but share a love for creative projects, nature adventures, lego and cardgames...they are open-minded and speak english, german, swedish and danish.
Families are welcome!Types of help and learning opportunities
DIY and building projects
Babysitting and creative play
Creating/ Cooking family meals
Help around the house
Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
We imagine the journey of building these busses will bring a lot of challenges to solve and grow from, many new skills, hopefully atleast as much enjoyment and feeling of achievement...it for sure will be a unique experience...!
And our boys are quite a bunch as well...They bring a lot of life-force, and if chanelled constructively a lot of fun...
They have formed strong bonds with quite some former workaways, who now keep coming back and are a precious part of our extended family...
The nature on Bornholm is beautiful and very diverse, with amazing coastlines, trolly forests and open landscapes. A nature reserve is in walking distance from the house...it's possible to go hiking, biking, fishing...
We are artists and out-of-the-box thinkers, who are trying to build up a life incorporating collective and natural living, travelling and creative freedom...We are dreaming of a travelling community...
We enjoy meeting fine people, exchange and spending cosy hours with fire and good food...Projects involving children
This project could involve children. For more information see our guidelines and tips here.
Help
Spend fine time in nature with the children, create little creative projects for and with them, maybe cook occasionally...that would be great!
Alternatively, build with us! We will be converting two busses into homes/cultural businesses and would love to share this journey...Languages spoken
