  Description

  Hi!
  We are Nike and Oskar, and we are living in Örnsköldsvik in the north of Sweden in an area called Höga kusten or the High Coast. This area is famous for its beauty, with high mountains and an archipelago in the sea.
  
  We have a small house about 3 km from the town centre. We live close to a forest where you can mountain bike, go for a walk or a run and ski in the winter. We have two wonderful cats with lots of personality. 😻
  
  We love outdoor life and traveling. We love to experience new places and meet new people and learn about other cultures. Therefore we would like to open our home to people who want to visit our part of the world! We are both nurses and work at the local hospital.
  
  When we don't work with the house or as nurses at the hospital we want to travel and experience new places! Therefore we are looking for a person/couple/family to look after our house and our cats and plants when we are away. Before we go you are welcome to stay with us for a a day or two and get to know us, the cats and the house. We will also show you the surrounding area and the town Örnsköldsvik.
  
  Welcome!

  Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

  While staying at our house you will have the opportunity to experience life in northern Sweden and the special nature here in the High Coast. There are lots of beautiful places for hiking, islands to visit and beautiful beaches. In the winter you can try skiing downhill/cross country, iceskating on lakes or on the sea and hopefully see the northern lights. Before we leave we will tell you all about our favourite spots and things to do. You will be able to use our car if you like. We have equipment for skiing - downhill and cross country (if they fit you in size), we have cross country ice skates to put on boots, fishing equipment, hiking equipment, a stand up paddle board, a canoe and lots of other stuff you can use.
