Description
We, Elke and Edward, live in the most beautiful swedish forest with currently four sheep, 3 to 6 chickens (we don't know the gender yet), 2 cats and a dog. We have been living here for 19 years. Elke is german and works as a physical therapist, Edward is dutch and works as a mechanical engineer. We both work part-time to be able to work at our little farm and have enough time for our hobbies like woodturning, welding, cycling, spinning (our own) wool, knitting, gardening and so on. We live a ten minute walk from a lake, where we have a canoe, and there are a lot of hiking routes in the area. The nearest small city (about 10 000 people) is about 20 kilometers away.
We always have several projects going on and we can always use a helping hand.
We are looking forward to meeting you!

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
You will have the oppurtunity to try different things like woodworking, metalworking and spinning wool.
In the evenings we like to cook by the campfire and enjoy each others company. We also like playing cards and boardgames.
We are always open for different cultures and learning about them. Maybe you can cook a typical meal and tell us about your country?
Help
We need help with things like for example gardening, looking after our animals, help around the house and making firewood.
