Description
We are a married couple with a piece of land in the most beautiful part of Sweden. We have lots of creative ideas for our garden and our home and we would love some support. Fredrik is a musician and Janie an interior designer/ artist. Together we love to create relaxing and beautiful spaces.
We run a business together, organise music events, love to play cards and travel a lot.
Our business is in 2 other houses on the property, and we will need help in our private house, greenhouse and garden with vegetables growing, that has nothing to do with our business. Cooking for everyone etc. new fun building projects and chickens need feeding etc.
We also run occasional weddingceremonys in our love labyrinth that is non paid where we need help.
To be able to also enjoy the paradise we live in we need support in and around the house and the garden as well as with cooking.

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
They would be able to enjoy living so close to nature, the lake right outside our house and the Forrest close by.
You would be able to speak Swedish/ German or English.
Be part of creative team and turning ideas and dreams into reality. In the past we have build a tiny house, a huge heart shaped labyrinth, carved wooden sculptures, build a tree house viewing platform and created a chicken enclosure. There are few things that simply need some maintain and other things that we are yet to build.
You will get a chance to look after a big garden as well as planting and harvesting your own food in the green house and patches of potatoes/ onions / pumpkins and the like. We are very big on growing our Forrest garden. This year we want to add a lot more flowers. There is also a big Permakultur community in our village.
You would get a chance to jam with Fredrik who loves music and has a range of instruments that long to be played. Throughout the summer we organise concerts in our village. We also love to learn new card / dice games as well as socialise together in the evening around the fire.
We would love to cook together at times and also have the pleasure of being cooked for by someone who loved food.
Help
We need support in and around our home and our beautiful big garden. We would also love for someone to cook meals for us.
We have many creative ideas and projects that we would love support with. So anyone who has a love for building and creating as well as being in nature would be wonderful.
We also have animals that need to be take care of while we are away.
