Description
***Current ideal skills focus: Repairs and handy projects and painting***
My partner Andrew and I (Martin) are working on a guesthouse/artist residency in the countryside of Northeast Skåne. We have a home built in 1906 which we renovated in 2019. We also have a restored cottage- where there is private room for 2 workaway guests or a couple. Its a charming cottage with a sleeping loft, bedroom, small kitchen and bathroom. It also has very fast internet.
We will provide healthy (mostly organic) food and a nice, private place to sleep. The house has very fast wifi and an ever-increasing selection of books.
The village is peaceful with only 50 residents. There is a defunct quarry full of clean water for swimming 100m from the front door. Many lakes are within a short walk, and trails for running in the forest. The old quarry building nearby has been restored as a community arts center. We have completed a community sauna on the quarry and other community installations.
We live part-time in Copenhagen therefore we are often away from the home on weekends. Because of this, you will sometimes be at the house alone, therefore, please appreciate some quiet time alone, or those travelling as friends or a couple. Furthermore, if you have a vehicle that will allow you to explore the area if we are not here-that is a big plus.
For those interested please respond to the following questions, point form is fine! And please share any questions you have for us:
1. What brings you to Workaway? and interests you about our project?
2. What are your goals through workaway at this time?
3. Do you have an ideal work time of day?
4. Dietary preferences? Restrictions?
Those who enjoy this place the most:
1. Enjoy being in a tiny village in nature and entertaining themselves with things like reading, running, nature walks, cooking.
2. Pleasure in working with their hands, sometimes in cold and wet Scandi weather.
3. Keep a tidy space.
4. Appreciate healthy food and enjoy cooking.
5. Appreciate flexible hours but generally starting at approx 9 or 10 AM (5 hours per day).
6. Art/design geeks often appreciate the projects around the village (but not necessary). -
