Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
I am a musician/music teacher and have my own recording studio and a music venue where I have djembe classes and gong baths that you can attend. I also host weekly cultural evenings in hy home. I am very well educated and know a lot about Sweden and the local region and its history. There are a lot of workawayers in the area that I meet with regularly.

Accommodation
You will get a 3 bedroom guest house of your own during your stay. I live across the street. I also have an extra car that you may use but I prefer you have your own car.
What else ...
I am a non-smoking non-drinking flexible vegetarian and woukd prefer if you are interested in a healthy lifestyle. I prefer hosting a couple or two friends who know each other very well. You will do your own cooking in your own house during your stay, so you can either choose to work a lot less or each get 100 SEK per day for food costs.
I speak excellent Swedish and English and expect you to speak English fairly well in order to avoid any communication problems. I enjoy visiting and going sight-seeing with my friends either by car or electric bike (I have two). I have a lot of culturally interesting local friends.
