Description
We are Laura (French) and Ellen (Dutch), living and traveling as a couple in our converted van. Studies were not really fulfilling for either of us and we feel the need to acquire more essential life skills than writing academic papers ;) Nature is where we feel the most fulfilled and serene so we like being outdoor a lot and hike around. We're hoping to learn and experience new things and are interested in eco-communities, permaculture, animal care, eco building, spiritual development, learning about nature :)

It was my first time working on a veggie farm and I feel like I’ve learnt a lot about farming but also about the Swedish culture (thanks Li for the Swedish movie nights!) and the beautiful high coast area (thanks Benny for teaching us so much about the history and geography… read more

We were so lucky to have Laura and Judith on our site, they applied as old friends and both were very nice, easy going, always helpful, friendly and smiling all the time!

I've spent 6 weeks at this wonderful place and It's been just amazing. It was my first workaway and I didn't expect to enjoy it that much. Robo and Dada are very welcoming and warm-hearted people and I've felt like home from the very first day. I've helped cleaning cottages, painting the house, picking berries, moving logs, sometimes cooking and… read more
