    Description

    So my name is Jacob and I am living on a farm that I am in the process of renovating. This means there's a lot of odd tasks going on. Some of them are more fun than other but all of it would be a little more fun when you are more than One.
    There's chickens and some ducks. there is free dogs and there's a cat.
    I have two kids; a girl at the age of 12 and a boy at the age of 15. They are here every second week. Then there's my good friend Lisis living in a tiny house.
    She is an amazing chicken keeper and has saved a lot of lives.

    It is very nice surroundings with fields around us and we are not so far away from forest and the sea with nice beaches is half an hour drive in car.

    So if you like the countryside with animals and great company I think you would like it here.

    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    I am especially interested in learning Spanish so hopefully if you're from a spanish-speaking country we could help each other out. I already had some Spanish so I have a good ground for learning more. I am good at English my mother tongue is Danish and I speak Swedish since I live here.
    I can give you the culture mixed experience of the Danish and Swedish cuisine.
    I would also love to grow some vegetable food so we could also make some gardening projects together.

    There is different things to be done. Some of it outside with gardening and some of it inside with some painting etc. We will always try to adapt to the weather. Maybe we will do some fencing too. Moving some poles and clearing an area.
    Hopefully we can teach each other some small tips and tricks when being handy with stuff.
    I am an electrician myself so I can always teach you something about that 😉

    I will provide you a tiny house where there is your own shower and toilet and a little kitchenette with a fridge.
    Of course we will be dining together most of the time but when there's times when I'm not at home it is nice to have your own.

    I will provide for three meals a day. As much as possible we will try to eat together for conversations and cultural exchange.
