    Description

    Hi,

    We are Bram and Flore, born and raised in Belgium. After travelling for a while we decided to settle down in Sweden to live a life more connected to nature and its seasons. We have a young dog that will stalk you for attention.

    We are looking for some helpers to renovate our house, as the summer season is pretty short. Nothing major, mostly paining, insulating, getting our pool going and property/garden work or chopping wood for next winter.

    The area where we live is amazing and we want our helpers to enjoy the region as much as possible.

    We live only a few minutes from the Skuleskogen National Park and the Hoga Kusten Leden passes our house. Endless walking options with some overnight cabins around. We live at the coast so plenty of opportunities to swim or kayak. In our village there is a cable car going up to Skuleberget, or you can walk up or use the via ferrata. We have a pool (if we get it going) and a sauna you can enjoy as you please.
