    Description

    My name is Jennifer, me and my partner Henrik have a wonderful countryside home with a lot of beautiful garden and extra houses on the plot. We bought our paradise in 2019, and we love spending time there. The place is located near the border of Norway, a nice place called Värmland surrounded with Forest, approx. 20/30 min from the Norwegian border. From our home its 1h40min to Oslo, where we also live and work , and 4.5h to the capital of Sweden Stockholm and 3h30min to Gothenburg.

    We have a couple of projects we are planning this spring, everything from building a tent platfrom deck, diy outhouse, gardening work, also taking care of my soon 4 year old and 10month old. Whatever you feel you can help us with, let us know and come on over. Talk to you soon I hope :)
