    Vi är ett par i 60 års åldern , som är gästvänliga och nyfikna på det som andra människor kan dela med sig av till oss. Vi bor på en gård med djur på landsbygden och trivs väldigt bra med grannar och omgivning här.

    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    There is a place with a built-up Sami residence a few miles from us that you can visit, we live close to nature with hares, moose and reindeer that you may see with a little luck. Here in the village there is a small swimming area. We like to cook both traditional and other good food, as well as bake local bread that you can learn to make with us.

    We live in a small village in Lapland, northern Sweden. We have goats, a dog, three cats, for us the animals are very important and popular. We grow some of our food. We are outside a large part of the day both on the farm and in nature. You get to help with all the chores in our home with us. It can be anything, painting, maintaining buildings, helping in the garden, tinkering with the animals. For us, it is important that you like animals and are willing to help. Feels responsible and shows respect for what is alive (animals, nature and people).

    Vi bor i en liten by i lappland, norra Sverige.
    Hos oss bor det getter, en hund, tre katter, för oss är djuren väldigt viktiga och omtyckta. Vi odlar en del av vår mat. Vi är ute en stor del av dagen både på gården och i naturen. Du får hjälpa till med alla sysslor som finns i vårt hem tillsammans med oss. Det kan vara allt möjligt, måla underhålla byggnader, hjälpa till i trädgården, pyssla om djuren. För oss är det viktigt att du gillar djur och är villig att hjälpa till. Känner ansvar och visar respekt för det som är levande(djur,natur och människor).
