Description
I am a 46-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 wish to find fun people who has their own ideas and who preferably has been to another eco-house projects who can teach/inspire me with ideas from other projects. There are things who needs to be done, like paint jobs & wardrobes etc. But depending on who you are, there are details like building wardrobes, desks and doors and even a clay bathroom if anyone has experience from that. If you have worked with timber that would be amazing. The house needs to be painted on the inside, and perhaps you are an artist who wish to do something fun on the walls/ceilings?
I want you to be independent and bring ideas to the table.

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.
What else ...
There is nature to explore on your spare time, and if you want to go for a beer in Norrtälje it is 15 minutes away. I hope you are a person who will join me for some wimhof experiences down by the lake, and perhaps you do yoga and wish to do your thing? The house can be used in many ways, and some nights we might just watch Neflix and have a pizza from the local pizzeria.
I usually go to bed around 22 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 eachother. 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.

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.

She is a very generous host and she really knows how to cook.
I enjoyed the time in her beatuiful home.
You are very lucky if you get Jakob as a guest.
It was fun to create and think together with Dan and I really recommend you to do the same.
