Nature and animal projects in a peaceful coastal home near Stockholm, Sweden

  Description

  Welcome to Borsö – a private peninsula near Trosa and only 1h from Stockholm, surrounded by sea, forest, and open space. It’s a quiet, beautiful place to slow down and enjoy nature.
  
  I live here with my two Silken Windsprites, Kiwi and Deenah – gentle dogs who roam freely on the peninsula yet always stay close. And we currently have 7 horses, they also roam free but we do ride and train them. Kiwi will have a litter of puppies this summer, one of the horses will have a foal. My parents live on the other side of the peninsula, my cousin and her family come from the US and then my 4 children (aged between 14 and 23) are also there occasionally - if they are not at school or University.

  Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

  Trosa has a lively little harbor with cafés and markets, and it’s only 15 minutes away by car. You’ll have space and time to connect with nature, reflect, and enjoy a slower rhythm. If you’re curious about a more off-grid, animal-centered lifestyle, you’ll get a glimpse of how it works, from managing land and dogs to preparing for horses and living close to nature.
  Then again, Stockholm is only 1h by car and has everything you could wish for!

  Help

  I usually need help with some maintenance tasks like minor repairs or DIY, mowing grass with a small tractor, cutting bushes, planting plants, help clearing forest paths, making everything look nice and tidy.. but it can also be some help in the household or some help with the animals. Every day is different and depending on the need of the current day. Workawayers won't help with rentals or managing spaces used by paying guests. We also make sure to enjoy ourselves and relax.

  Accommodation

  You’ll stay in a classic Swedish wooden house (red with white trim), fully equipped & furnished and have access to a car. A driving license is required, as there’s no public transport all the way to the property!
  When there, you will have access to a boathouse, kajaks, a sauna etc .
  Food, we can eat together when I am there. I am grateful if you also cook sometimes so we can exchange recipes and I also get to try different food.

  What else ...

  On your time off, you can swim in the Sea, bathe sauna, go fishing or kajaking, take walks through the forest, read in the hammock, or just enjoy the peace and quiet. With the car, you can easily get to Trosa (15 min), which has cafés, shops, a harbor, and nice places to explore. Stockholm is about an hour away by car.
  
  I appreciate calm, self-reliant people who are respectful of space and animals. No smoking inside, and no parties – this is a peaceful place. Otherwise, I’m flexible and easygoing as long as things are done with care and respect.
