Description
Hi! We're Guillaume and Anna, we live in the countryside with our two cats, Azrael and Piranesi, in the beautiful region of Skåne at the very south of Sweden. We're located at the edge of a small village, surrounded by forest, and live in an old Swedish long-house with some parts dating from the 1700. Anna is studying medicine and Guillaume is an engineer. We're both long time vegans. You will also meet our neighbor's horses, Ariel and Snema, who are grazing on our land. The region is full of castles and viking artifacts to visit. There are lakes 20 minutes away with sand beaches and pristine Baltic sea beaches are only 30 minutes away.

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
While you're here you'll be part of the family and will be able to experience life as a local in the Swedish countryside. We'll be glad to share what we're good at and help you pick up new skills, especially in regards to science, gardening, electronics, 3d printing, home building and renovation. There are also lots of cultural landmarks to visit in the region and often festivities in the village!
Projects involving children
This project could involve children. For more information see our guidelines and tips here.
Help
We need some extra hands to help maintain the house and garden. Depending on when you come, you might help with chopping firewood, weeding in the garden or the field, collecting loose stones from the field, taking care of the vegetable garden, or doing tasks alongside us on small repairs and improvements around the house.
We both have plenty of DIY and technical experience and love sharing what we know to help others learn. We'll be glad to help you pick up new skills if you're interested!
Some tasks can be a bit physically demanding, and it can get warm outside in summer, so a decent level of fitness is recommended. But with the work come rewards, and you'll get to experience the traditional Swedish "fika" (a cozy break with coffee or other drinks, often with buns or cake) and get to relax in the peaceful quiet of the countryside after a day's work. We have a hammock and lots of books to lend if you want to unwind :)

Accommodation
You'll be staying in one of our two guest rooms depending on availability. The large guest room is on the second floor and has a double bed while the small one is on the first floor and has a single bed. Clean bedding is provided. If you want to experience camping in the Beautiful Swedish forest, we can lend you a tent and camping bedding.
We usually eat meals as a family when we're both at home but you don't have to follow our schedule if it doesn't suit you. Food is provided and you're free to eat whatever you want from the fridge at your leisure!
What else ...
We can pick you up and drop you off at the closest bus station in Linderöd, about 10 minutes away by car. I you need help getting there let us know! From there, it's possible to take an express bus to larger cities such as Lund (60min) and Malmö (75min) for a day trip. We also have two bicycles that you can borrow to explore the surrounding area.
We have WiFi and are connected to fast and reliable fiber internet. We can host people with small camper vans, but not larger motor-homes. We have a Type 2 socket for charging electric cars.
We're vegans and we ask you to respect that by not bringing any meat, fish, poultry or other animal-based food (milk, cheese, eggs) to our house.
It's not allowed to smoke inside the house.
