Description
Hi workawayers! 🙂
we need some help here with house and garden.
We are a happy, easy-going couple living in beautiful small village Sävsjöström in Småland - 45 km from Växjö.
You can experience here a lovely Swedish nature. You can enjoy our beautiful bike trails (we have some bicycles) take a walk in the beautiful forests surrounding us and pick wild blueberries, or appreciate some quiet time to yourself meditating and admiring the nature. If you’re lucky, you might see wild animals (maybe even a moose or two). You can also go swimming in the lake. If you are here in mid-June, you will experience a true Swedish midsummer. This is an ideal opportunity for a person who is looking for a peaceful and quiet stay.
Our village is located far away from large cities, among forests.
Usually ours workawayers helping for 5 hours
We appreciate if you start your job after breakfast 8-9 AM, after 2,5 hours you will have break and eat some FIKA (snack) or a simple lunch (like soup, hot dog, hamburger etc.) with us and than you will continue your tasks.
ATTENTION...IF YOU WISH YOU CAN HELP 2.5 HOURS A DAY BUT WE DO NOT PROVIDE MEALS.
We eat normally - neither particularly healthy nor particularly unhealthy.
Usually we eat the dinner (5-6 PM) together with our workawayers and we can ask you to help with preparation this.
We are meat lovers:) Our diet includes dairy products, meat, gluten and sugar. If You are vegetarian or vegan, so We are afraid you might not accept our cuisine :(
Don't worry about sweaters or jackets because we'll lend you some if you want :)

Actually we need also help in the garden.
It’s really important to us that you are happy with your stay and that we are happy with you and your help, that’s why we value honesty and an open dialogue. We are hoping to make new friends, learn about a new culture and teach about our country and life in Sweden.

Lucas is intelligent and very… read more
