    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    My house is located near a road but surrounded by forest. You can watch a lot of animals, and I have a big garden where I try to grow as many vegetables as I can. I have a kajak to share. I speak german, Swedish and english. I would love to learn to play guitar and get better in carpentry work around the house - its from 1880 and always something to fix on it.
