Description
Hi there!
My name is Chris, and I could really use some help here in northern Sweden! 😊
I live in a somewhat bigger house in the countryside of swedish Lapland, right next to the beautiful Vindel River.
Over the past few years, I’ve learned a lot about YouTube and which niches work really well. Making a living in rural Sweden can definitely be challenging if you don’t want to work a regular 9-to-5 job, which is why I’m constantly thinking about alternative ways to make it work. "Anything is possible if you have the right mindset and the right people around you."
Who am I?
I’m a 35 year old guy who lives with his 7 year old daughter every other week.
I’m an open-minded person who loves meeting people and learning from one another. Together with my ex-wife, I moved to Sweden in 2018 as a young family when our daughter was just two months old. Before that, we traveled to Canada and the USA, hitchhiking through different states and meeting the most wonderful people along the way.
I have a strong desire for adventure and doing unconventional things - just because I enjoy playing the fool and having fun! At the same time, I’m a responsible father who knows what risks I can take.
I love having deep conversations about life and hearing other people’s stories. To me, it's important to be able to express one’s feelings so that both sides understand what’s going on inside. 😊
That being said you should be able to do the same when requesting a stay with me.

Help
I could really use some help with filming, editing, and planning our next projects. It would also be a big help if you have experience and can share tips and tricks for more efficient editing.
I really want someone who has a good amount of experience with editing and youtube itself.

Accommodation
You will have your own room in the house.
What else ...
The farm is located 35 km from the town of Lycksele. The best-case scenario for both of us would be if you come with a car or motorcycle.
There are bicycles at the farm that you can borrow to explore the area.
We have beautiful forests surrounding us and of course the river itself.
If you're into wildlife photography, going out late at night during midsummer to look for moose, bears, or owls could be an exciting experience!
Snowmobile, Fishing, Hiking... just tell me what you like to do beforehand so I can tell you if it's possible or not :)
