    We are a family of six, living in the countryside 1,5 hour outside of Stockholm. We live at a farm with horses, sheeps, dogs, chickens and cats. The closest city is Eskilstuna, it takes 25 min with car and 40 min by bus. We live next to a lake, have a boat house and in general live close to nature.

    We live in the beautiful countryside of Sweden just by the lake. There are possibilities to go fishing, go out on the paddle board, canoeing, being around the horses and waking in the forest. The train to Stockholm takes one hour and there is 30 min to the train station.
