Description
Hej
We are Salli & Raphael, a Finnish/German couple living in the southern Swedish Countryside since 8 years together.
We love our live here, but need once on a while some help to get the work done. Taking care of the spring cleanup in the garden. Renovating an old barn. Renovating windows. There are always some projects for some additional hands.
We run professionally a café & bakery, which brings lots of foodies and many international people together. This work will not be part of your work away, but might be interesting for you, in case you love high quality sourdough baking and delicious pastries.
Some of the projects in spring will be:
- Garden spring preparations and planting of new greens.
- We have chickens and bees. We will work with preparing the bee frames and rebuild the chicken coop.
The village Loshult is surrounded by beautiful nature. There is time to explore, cycle, swim, meditate, gather, enjoy.

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
Raphael has landed in Sweden after many years of working and traveling abroad. We bring with us a good understanding of being on the way, but also now for me with over 13 years in Sweden, a good understanding of the local culture, language, people and characteristics of our beautiful inhabitant.
If you are ready for some true Astrid Lindgren “Bullerbü” come on over!
