    Description

    Hello! I'm Simon and I live on a Swedish farm, in the traditional style with some buildings from the 19th century. There is nature all around, open fields and forests. Lots of wild animals and birds. However the closest town is no more than 15 minutes drive.

    There are Valais Blacknose sheep on the farm, and I'm planning for chicken. I'm expanding my vegetable garden, which I wish to grow organically.

    I enjoy the country life and the practical work renovating the houses, chopping fire wood, milling lumber and tending to the garden. I am also interested in a broad range of topics, such as natural sciences, technology, history, politics, society. I like board games, especially the classical ones. Hoping to play with guests that share the interest!

    Some examples of musicians I like are Keith Jarret, Nils Frahm, Árstíðir.

    There is a train station a couple of kilometers away, with commute trains to Norrköping and Linköping. Both cities offer cultural activities, museums, libraries et c.
