  • Description

    Description

    Hey, we are a young family living in the Swedish forests around Borås. We have a dog and 2 cats (soon some chickens) and live in an old farmhouse. We are both scientists and we enjoy renovating and gardening.

    We have a second guest house, which is normally for family and friends, but would be quite nice for a workawayer. We have difficulties traveling to our families, who live abroad and need someone who wants to look after the animals. But we would also love to welcome someone who enjoys gardening or renovating with us.

    We have a lake nearby and a sauna and hottub close to the guest house. We have canoes, a boat and climbing opportunities close to us. There are no direct neighbours, but a very nice community in the small village nearby. If you are interested do not hesitate to reach out to us!
