    Description

    I live in an old schoolhouse 15 minutes by car north of Halmstad, in a village surrounded by fields and woods, 2 kms from the beach. The house is big so you can always find a quiet space. Big messy garden that needs love. Plenty of roses, also flowers, berries, fruit trees and weeds:). I lack time to do everything because I still run a small venue for music, so there is a grand piano, and some other instruments. There are extra bedrooms with good beds, but we share bathroom and kitchen. Internet available.

    Kulturverket has concerts here and in different places in this province. I have a background as a singer, voice teacher and I have coached people in singing, speaking, pronunciation of Swedish. Now I am an organiser of musical events of non commercial music.

    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    A possibility of visiting this area with different kinds of nature nearby, beaches, woods. A quiet place for something workrelated or cultural: writing, practicing, rehearsing, working on line. We usually joke about concert duty, if you live here you should listen when there are concerts on. And of course help at concert: chairs, tickets, coffee for audience, serving the musicians. The concert season is In spring and autumn, about once a month for our own venue.

    Help

    In summer there is plenty of gardening, much needed, some wood can perhaps be chopped and carried inside, if one feels up to it. DIY and small maintenance things on the house could be considered if a guest is up to such things. Digital help sometimes. Help around the house, cooking.

    Small bedrooms with good beds. Shared bathroom and kitchen with myself. The fridge is usually quite full and we can cook together or separately whatever feels best.

  • What else ...

    What else ...

    Buses near to go into town, bicycles can be arranged for touring the area. I believe in time and space for each person, which the size of the house guarantees. I have had guests who stay many times. We have had people many times, composing, writing a book, and doing small chores , paying their way. This time costs would be none, gardening would be paying for everything. Non smokers. No drugs. No wild drunkenness, but we like some wine and beer with dinner now and then.
