  Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

  I feel like the lifestyle in Sweden is specific to the nordic countries. I was born in France and lived 10 years on the UK and it was a bit of a culture shock when I moved to Malmö almost 3 years ago. The lifestyle is a lot more about personal care, about enjoying life and looking after ourself and our family members.

  Help

  We need someone reliable to look after and care for our little furry family members while we are away. Sometimes the dog travels with us, sometimes one of the cats, sometime none of them.
  It's pretty straight forward, make sure they are fed and have fresh water available, give them lots of cuddles, clean the cat litter every day and take the dog out for walks 3 times a day.
  
  Some of the cats are not allowed to go out, so you must be very careful about that. We have a disabled cat and it is a death sentence for him to go out. He can't hunt or look after himself.
  
  There are about 50 plants in the house, they require minimal care during the winter months. However during spring and summer, they will require daily watering.
  
  If you have DIY skills there's always a few things to fix in the house, which we would be grateful for.

  What else ...

  Malmö has many sights to enjoy, and mostly accessible by bike. The sauna (of course!), which is by the beach, the night life is also quite good. It's just a train ride away from Copenhagen. Lots of close by parks and forests to enjoy nature. Many falafels to enjoy too! Museums, exhibitions, etc. Malmö has a lot to offer!
