    Hello fellow traveller!

    I'm looking for a cat/dog sitter these dates: may 30- june 2, june 16- june 24 and july 8- july 15. Get in touch for details.

    I'd like to get help with some carpentry. Some ideas: building a treehouse, building a greenhouse with old windows, building a small sauna. Making a pizza oven. Making stuff with concrete. Painting inner and outer walls. Gardening. Cutting wood. Making a pond. And more...

    I'll provide the groceries, you prepare your food, but sometimes we can also eat together when we feel for it.
    I'm a laidback happy hippie at heart, creative, sometimes manic in a project, in to art, gardening, diy projects, yoga, dance.
    I've been travelling for 20 years, mostly in India, but now I'm settled in the countryside in south Sweden, living with my dog and cat.

    Skara is located in Västra Götaland and is full of beautiful places in nature for fishing, trekking and visiting old churches, monasteries, castles and viking places. I'll be happy to show you around! Gothenburg is 1-1.5 h away with train or car. Stockholm 2 hours away with train.

    I'm an artist and do most things by feeling, I like to think outside the box... not always good when it comes to precision tasks like carpentry.
    I know some gardening from trial and error but would like to know more about gardening.
    I'm a yoga teacher, so if you're in to that I can teach you some basics.

    Accommodation

    My place is just outside a small town, Skara. The house is at the end of the road and the surroundings are forest, fields and meadows with cows. The nearest neighbours are 1 km away. But still you can reach Skara by push bike in 15 minutes, 3.5 km away. There you find shops, restaurants and from there you can reach other towns in the area.

    I have a small house from 1830, a guesthouse where my son lives, there's a barn with a joinery, a lounge a kitchen/bar, and there's an outhouse for storage, wood, outhouse toilet.

    If you should come here you would stay in a crew shed, 22 squere meters, with a single room with a small wood stove, a small pentry with stove,fridge and kitchen stuff and a bathroom where you can take a bucket shower (no running water, but possible to heat up water). Toilet is in the outhouse.
    If you are two, one or both could stay in a caravan with a double bed, but use the crew shed for cooking and shower.
