Description
I am a 49-year-old woman who grew up in a community and who longs to return to that lifestyle. I like to be active and creative. During the winter I go everyday to the lake for ice baths and breathing exercises and I am eager to learn more about myself and my body. I once was a lawyer, and for a few years I lived all over the world, and now I have found this magic place outside of Stockholm where I am buliding this strawbalehouse. I love to cook and I love nature and I really love to do it with others. I am the worst planner-why I often have problems with answering about a stay 6 months ahead. I am more "can I come tomorrow-kind-of person".

Help
I have sold the house and have hurt my shoulders. I need help moving furniture to the garage, cleaning windows, getting things ready for the new owners. There can be some clay work if interest is there, but my need for help is more about making the place ready for the new owners and have fun together.

Accommodation
The house is about 240 sqm when it is finished. It is a comfortable warm house with 4 bedrooms, a big kitchen, open fireplace and cosy corners and lofts. The house is located 15 km from Norrtälje and 90 km from Stockholm, There is public transportation just a 5 min walk from the house that takes you to Norrtälje and Stockholm. The house is placed on a field, close to a lake with a few neighbors close by. It is truly a magig place with lovely neighbors, but a little off if you don´t have a car.
There is only one bathroom, so if we are several people in the house, long morning showers doesńt work.
What else ...
There is nature to explore on your spare time, but not much more than that. The place is quite isolated, so for someone that hopes for action and social activities this is not the place.
I usually go to bed around 21 and wake up around 6-7 and start the morning with a breathing excercise. If we live together I wish us to help out and show respect for each other. You don’t need to get up that early, but I wish that people are up around 9 so everyone can share meals at the same time. If you stay longer than a week a expect you to help out cleaning the house once a week.

Sanna is an energetic laid back woman. She quickly accepted my request to join her project and honestly, I never imagined that it would be so full of new experiences. I learned from how to make paint to cooking pasta from the scratch.

I did a painting job and then build some boxes with wood. There really wasn't any pressure to do the job perfectly as it was a first time for me

I'd definitely recommend this to anyone
