Description
Hello,
We are a small family of a French, a Swedish, and two beautiful doggies :).
I have myself participated in Workaway a few years ago when i was traveling in the Pacific and found it the best way to exchange culture, helping each other and growing, so i though it should be my turn as a host :).
We just moved to a big house surrounded by a forest and the garden (which does not exist yet) needs a lot of preparation and maintenance, removing wood sticks and stones, making the soil flat, adding grass, removing the weeds, planting, building a fence for the doggs... Also start a vegetable garden for autumn like broccoli, spinach, radish...
The plan for the next years is also to add chickens in a first step.
If you are looking for a peacefull retreat in the middle of the nature then this is the place for you!

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
As a cultural exchange we could teach you the Swedish tradition of Fika, swedish baking, kräftskiva, midsommar and the language of course. We are also surrounded by the nature and the forest, here the deers come visit us almost everyday. The wildlife is really diversified with a lot of goose, swan, storks, mooses...

Mostly helping with gardening, weeding, watering, planting, some painting, fencing setup, helping with the dogs, walking them. If you have experience in gardening, or carpentery to build fence or other DIY building.

Accommodation
You will have your own room into our house, a double bed, with your own guest bathroom.
You will also get breakfast, lunch and dinner, or at least access to the kitchen so you can cook your own food if you would like to :).
We are not vegan or have not special diet. Everybody is welcome with their own specific diet.
What else ...
Life here is totally Swedish style "lagom", not too much, not too little. We enjoy every little thing. We live in the middle of the forest, with no neigbourgs or just a few outside a small village.
Means during summer you can find a lot of treasures in the nature, chanterelles, blueberries, raspberries, lingonberries... We also live in front of a lake (or in front of a canal that brings to the lake). We have a kayak which you can use as much as you want. The closest town is 30 minutes away, there is bus to go there. You are also welcome to play with the doggies :).
