  • Description

    Description

    I am a single mom with 2 cool kids (11 and 4). We fulfilled our dream of relocating to Norrbotten 2 years ago. We are now renovating our houses slowly and setting up the gardens. I am working a lot, so we are looking for a volunteer to help around the house, watch over the kids and a little bit of renovation!

    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    Pajala is a nice little town in Norrbotten, and depending on the season, one can see the northern lights or the midnight sun, go cross country skying or walk in the forest by the rendeirs, go to the pool or swim in the Torne river, hike Jupukka and warm up with some coffee and sausages on top... , but mostly, enjoy the peace and tranquility of this little town.
