  Description

  Hi, we are Eléa, James and Ari our son, we are a French and British couple, in our mid 30's, living in the Swedish forest in the region of Skåne, in a cute small village, Loshult. We have 2 cats and 5 chickens. We love to go mushrooms picking, and visit the local second hand shops. We have a great international community around us and lots of lovely people. There is a delicious bakery in the village that brings people together. We are creative people that care about the planet, problem solvers, happy living in nature!
  
  Right now we would need help to look after our two cats Leo and Bamse and 5 chickens . Some gardening tasks, diy projects, we have a fully equipped wood workshop and car garage so if you are good with tools it’s even better.
  Helping with general house maintenance and food prepping is part of the daily activities.
  
  If you are two people traveling together it’s more fun. And we can host you.

  Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

  We arrived in Sweden 6 years ago after having lived in Switzerland and England and France. We embrace the local heritage and Swedish traditions in our international community of friends. We are product designers and care about sustainable solutions and reusing as much as we can. We love old things and especially when they have a history. Southern Sweden is still very active in manufacturing for small and big companies.
  Foraging and mushroom picking is an activity we enjoy to share with others, and creating recipes and conserving food or fermenting is fun!

  Help

  Right now we would need help to look after our two cats Leo and Bamse and 5 chickens for three weeks as we will be visiting our families in France. So you would have the house to yourself and having a car and two people is what we recommend.

  What else ...

  Nature is all around, beautiful forest, lakes nearby and the coast is 1H away by car West or East. Nice walking trails like Skaneleden.
  We have space for parking and possibility to use bikes to get around. The closest town is 7km away easily accessible by walk, bike, bus, car.
  Eléa works from home and James goes to an office on a daily basis but is flexible. We speak English, French, some Spanish and little Swedish.
  We like to keep things tidy and clean to be able to enjoy the spaces we live and work in. We would agree upon arrival what you are comfortable doing and what times suits you best, (its ok to not be a morning person :) ). We like to be flexible, so a change of plan can occur and if the weather is nice better to make use of it!
