Description
We are a German / Swiss couple and 55+ years old. We moved to sweden in july 2015. We live in a beautiful landscape without stress. We love to be in nature, enjoy the landscape and animals. We are sociable and enjoy working with other people (nurse and tech. Director, we both worked in a nursing home ). The hamlet in which we live is small, very quiet and friendly. The nearest village is 16 km away and has everything it needs. We, our four cats and six goats like it here very much.

Wir lieben es in der Natur zu sein, Landschaft und Tiere zu geniessen. Wir sind kontaktfreudig und arbeiten gerne mit anderen Menschen zusammen (Pflegefachfrau und techn. Leiter, waren beide im Pflegeheim tätig). Der Weiler in dem wir leben ist klein, sehr beschaulich und freundlich. Das nächste Dorf ist 16 km entfernt und hat alles was es braucht. Wir, unsere vier Katzen und sechs Ziegen haben uns hier sehr gut eingelebt.
