Description
Hi,

We are studying ecodesign engineering in France to have a good environmental footprint through our future job.
We are used to travel by bike and we love nature.
As we know Sweden is cuttin-edge on ecological matter.
Hence we decided to reach this country by pedalling and to discover its culture.
We will be very glad to take part in sustainable projects (vegetable garden, ecobuilding, self-sufficiency life...). We like cooking and sharing meals.

We stayed one night at Eric’s place on our way to the north of Sweden by bike in autumn. Because he didn’t need help before spring and because we had to go away at this time we didn’t went back. So it was not really a Workaway.

Whatever, we write here because it was very nice to him to host us. We discovered all his garden. He manages to grow… read more
